Zoya FeiFei

Today I have for you Zoya FeiFei which is one of the polishes I picked up in the Zoya BOGO sale. It just looked so sparkly that I knew I had to have it and it did not disappoint at all! FeiFei is a light silvery blue packed with glitter flecks in silver, blue, gold and possibly more. It absolutely lights up and twinkles on your nails. Formula was great. It was a little on the thin side but easy to work with and built up really nicely. It was opaque in three coats and I topped it with a layer of Seche Vite.

All but the first picture were taken on day three using the Elmers glue basecoat method for easy glitter removal. I don't know if it was the glue or the polish but you can't even tell that there is tip wear really and zero chips!

You can really see the glitter shift in colors here

Yes it's blurred out but look at all that shimmer and glitter!

NOTD Deborah Lippmann + Stamping

I still love love love New Flesh by Deborah Lippmann but wanted to add a little something to it. I decided it was a great time to try out some french tip stamping so I used the new set of Bundle Monster plates and Maybelline  Bold Gold to stamp with. This is what happened. Not perfect but not bad either in my opinion. Definitely would help if my nails were nubbins!

Deborah Lippmann True Blood Collection New Flesh

Two of my favorite things in the world are nail polish and True Blood (the books and tv show) so when I saw that Deborah Lippmann was creating nail polish for the Forsaken collection inspired by True Blood I knew I had to have it. New Flesh is part of a mini trio of polishes and for some reason I gravitated to this one first. So unlike me to go for the nude color but I am starting to appreciate them. There is just something so chic and polished about it that is starting to really draw me in and I like it!

New Flesh is a sheer color but builds up nicely. Pictures are shown at three coats and without top coat! This is super shiny all on it's own. The formula was super easy to work with photos are shown with ZERO clean up which I am starting to notice is a trend with these higher end polishes. They are much easier to work with and have much nicer formulas. This applied like a dream and I can't wait to try the rest of the trio out this week.
