Chinese New Year's Nails

Sunday, January 26, 2014

Hi!

Chinese New Year this year falls on January 31st (it's going to be the year of the Horse) so I had to do some Chinese New Year's nails!

Polishes used:
Base | index-pinky: Zoya Jacqueline; thumb: Nails Inc Tate
Flower nails | red: Nails Inc Tate; gold detailing: Nails Inc Chelsea Bridge Road; branches: brown acrylic paint
Lantern nail | black & red: acrylic paint; gold glitter: Zoya Maria Luisa; gold: Nails Inc Chelsea Bridge Road
I did a Chinese lantern to represent the Lantern Festival, which signifies the end of the new year festivities (also because a dragon would be beyond my abilities, haha). 


Oh, yeah -- I also recently received my first Zoya polishes ever (I ordered them during the COLOR2014 sale). Zoya Jacqueline is everything I dreamed OPI My Vampire is Buff would be. It's a little more pink-toned, so it looks less buttery-yellow on me than MViB -- I love it!! It's probably going to show up in at least 75% of my nail art now :) 
Just curious, which do you guys prefer: MViB or Jacqueline?

My second polish was Maria Luisa, which is a glitter flaky topper - it's gorgeous! 
I also bought Zoya Feifei as a gift for a friend (but she'll probably let me borrow it sometime :3)

I reaaaally like the combination of these three polishes!

My family is Chinese, so for Chinese New Year we're probably going to eat something Chinese and clean our house.. nothing too exciting :)

Happy year of the Horse, and thanks for reading!
