Sorta Swoopy Funky Frenchy

Hey Y'all! It's been a while. I wish I could say that I was doing something super interesting while I've been away, but I live a boring life.

Oh! Except that I was cast in RENT!! Which is crazy exciting. We started rehearsing last week and it's been AWESOME so far. iloveitsomuch.

Anywho, nails! For Christmas my lovely mother bought me Zoya Payton. It was part of their holiday collection for last year and as soon as I saw swatches of it I knew I NEEDED it.

It's so pretty, but kind of hard to capture on camera. It's an almost vampy dark plum jelly with tiny holographic glitter. When the sun hits it, it absolutely glows.


I lightened this picture a little too much, but it gives you a good idea of the color in the sun. And you can see the sparkles in the bottle really well. 


I'm pretty happy with this mani. I've never done the swoopy french thing before, so that was fun. On my left hand I freehanded it, then cleaned up the line with some acetone and a brush. On my right hand I used tape. I think the freehanding was actually faster and easier, which was a surprise... of course I only free handed with my dominant hand, so that could have something to do with it. 

Thanks for reading!
