Zoya's Paz

Orange nails + tan skin = summer must have! If you want to bring out your tan then paint your nails orange! And Zoya's Paz is the perfect polish for this. It's a neon orange with super smooth application and dries with a finish that's between matte and shiny.

Zoya's Paz- no topcoat

Zoya's Paz - with Seche Vite

My pictures make Paz look like a creamier muted orange. In reality it is as neon as orange gets. The index finger in my picture with the top coat is a better representation. The solid orange was just a little too boring for me, so I added some designs!

I painted gold tips on my nails with OPI's Gift of Gold, and for the argyle on my ring finger I used Konad image plate M60 and OPI's Thanks So Muchness!
Have you tried painting your nails orange to bring out your tan? How did you like it?

Essie's "braziliant" with a few additions!

 Finding Braziliant was quite the wild goose chase. My boyfriend promised to get it for me, so after visits to about 20 different Wallgreens, CVS's, Ulta's, and Rite Aids we finally found it. And not just one..the final place we thought to check, Harmon Beauty Supply, had about 30 bottles! Anyway, it was well worth it! It's a gorgeous orange with the slightest orange/silver/gold shimmer. I applied two coats, but after one it was opaque enough to leave it be.

A little plain, right? So after that I put some of OPI's Silver Shatter on half the nail partly because I knew it would look nice, and partly because the day before my mom was complain about my Silver Shatter not looking nice and I had to prove her wrong :p

Looove it! What I love even more is that a few hours later my Konad nail stamping kit came in the mail! So of course I had to try out the little flower design!

This was the flower off plate M60. I was surprised as to how easy it was and will probably be ordering many more plates soon! As well as doing another manicure tonight.
