Tickled and Bubbly What a Great Combination

It is not at all surprising that Zoya's Tickled and Bubbly collections go together so well.  The colors pair up nicely between the two collections it is really difficult not to wear them together.

I've been playing around with these two collections all week and what fun I've been having.  I wanted to share with you a manicure I did using Rocha from the Tickled collection and Jesy from the Bubbly collection.




Materials
Top and base coat
Two shades of polish
Striping tape





For this manicure I started with one coat of Rocha on my thumb, pointer, and pinky fingers; two coats of Jesy on my mid and ring fingers.


Once that was completely dry, I used striping tape and placed them randomly on my pointer and mid fingers.  As a helpful tip when you are doing a random pattern like this try to keep in mind what order you placed them down in so that you can take them off in the reverse order.  I failed to do this and had a hardtime taking them off without causing problems.


I then placed a coat of Jesy over the Rocha on my pointer and a coat of Rocha over the Jesy on my mid.  Then remove the tape (hopefully in the right order).


This design reminds me of a laser light show.  The color combination is awesome too! I really like the new Tickled & Bubbly Collections from Zoya.  I have been having so much fun with them.  I hope you enjoyed this mani as much as I did.  If you liked this post please follow me through Google+BloglovinFacebookInstagramPinterest, and/or Nails2DieFor.

Zoya's Bubbly Collection Swatches and Review


Earlier this week  I reviewed Zoya's Tickled Collection (if you missed it click here).  I consider Zoya's Bubbly Collection to be its sparkly counter part.  This collection is a beautiful tinted jelly base holographic glitter.  Each one is full of Zoya's signature sparkle.  Because this is a jelly based glitter the opacity of the color depends on how many coats you apply.  For the swatches below I applied one thick coat.


Harper is an absolutely beautiful shade of vibrant pink.  This color has kind of a fruity feel for me.


Binx has a bit of a raspberry hue but with more coats it takes on a darker purple.


Alma is a fun yellow tone that sparkle like the sun because of the halographic glitter.


Jesy has a tangerine feel and looks a bit firey under just the right lighting.


Stassi is an awesome emerald green shade.  This one reminds me of mermaid scales or a mystical dragon.


Muse is an absolutely gorgeous rich shade of blue.  The color is so vibrant for a jelly and the glitter just makes it extra pretty.

This Bubbly Collection is a great way to spice up your summer collection and add a little extra bling.  These colors are perfect on their own but also pair up nicely with the colors in the Tickled Collection.  I hope you enjoyed this review as much as I liked swatching it for you.  See you soon.

"Garden" Challenge

This months Lacquer Legion Challenge theme is garden.  Since it is Wednesday I'm combining this post with my "What are you Wearing Wednesday?" show and tell post.  Unfortunately, this isn't my most creative manicure but I had some water decals from the Born Pretty online store that I thought fit the theme perfectly.


For this manicure I started with two coats of Rooney from Zoya's new Tickled Collection.  I swatched and reviewed this collection yesterday, if you'd like to see the rest of this collection scroll down or click this link here.  I then placed flowered water decals on the tips of all fingers except my pointer and pinky.  The decals were long enough and my nails were short enough that I could use them as a full nail decal on my pointer and pinky.

The Born Pretty Store has a great selection of nail art decorations and supplies at very reasonable prices.  Check them out at http://www.bornprettystore.com and while your there use the following coupon code: CREATEX31 to receive 10% off your order.

I hope you enjoyed my version of garden themed nails.  See you soon.
