Zoya Stacy and Bonita Gold Glitter

This is a color that I loved so much I bought it twice without knowing! I normally wait until Ulta has Zoyas on sale to purchase them. I can't stand waiting for polish in the mail, I get too much anxiety lol and I don't like paying for shipping. So Zoya Stacy is a color that I have seen swatched a few times and seeing it in pictures I kept thinking "this color looks very inconsistent". So I finally swatched it and added a little bling with Bonita Gold Glitter on ring finger. Here she is:

 

Look at the huge difference without flash (below) and full sun (above). Talk about two different colors! The application was difficult in the sense that it was not consistent enough. The consistency of the polish is too thin and should be thicker for smoother application. On my pinky you can see slight balding. Overall I would give Stacy a "B" because of the formula. 


Middle finger and pinky showing some baldness :(


Almost broke my pinky nail before this shot, but thank God for gel resin!

  3. Wanda the gel resin is just like it sounds a resin with a gel like consistency that you put over the nail. It looks more natural than acrylic because its clear. You can get it at Sally's, Ulta, Target or Walmart. There are many different kinds. I prefer to use this to patch cracks because it dries hard and smooth and looks natural. To use it you apply to the affected area after lightly buffing and drying the nail. Cure the gel under a UV light or use a fast dry spray (which might come with some beginner kits) then wipe away the sticky residue with alcohol. lightly buff the resin to smooth in with the rest of the nail and then polish with a smooth grit block buff. You're done. Polish as normal.
