Rainbow Penguins

A while back my friend sent me a link to a video and just two words, "Do this!" I'm a huge penguin addict so it wasn't hard to convince me. The video was by professionalDQ and is a tutorial for rainbow penguin nails inspired by toesocks. Please go check out her video HERE because she is just so talented! I'm still getting used to working with acrylic paints but I am so happy with how this turned out. Next on my to-do list is to find those toe socks!!

For the rainbow I cleaned off a striper polish brush and created stripes using all Zoya polishes. I used Zoya Jolene, Sooki, Darcy, Josie, Breezi, and Mira. After creating the rainbow I used a layer of China Glaze Fairy Dust on all the nails. Everything else was created using acrylic paints with paint brushes and dotting tools. The only thing I changed was I added little dots to the bow for the girls. I am very proud of myself for this recreation because it really pushed me and now I can't wait to try out more.

NOTD Stamping with Zoya Sunshine

So another obsession I have had lately besides texture polishes is stamping over texture polishes. For this look I started with a base of Zoya Sunshine and decided to go for a romantic scene so I used Sinful Shine Wisp to stamp cherry blossom branches and a cute little couple under a tree onto my nails. The branches and flower are from a Born Pretty Store plate and the accent finger of the tree and little boy and girl kissing is from Winstonia. The pink blossoms of the flower are Zoya Jolene.
