When I was putting together colors for today's mani, I had a specific combination in mind. Once I got to the actual polishing, I realized that it wasn't going to work with the colors I had chosen. So I had to make a quick change up. Before we get to all that, let's view my bottle shot with my sleeping babies. Forgot to tell you, it's Zoya Marina from the fall mirrors collection. I got it with their buy 1 get 2 polishes sale recently.
You can just feel their excitement for this polish can't you? This polish is a steel blue with subtle silver blue shimmer. It's really something-I have nothing else like it. Here are indoor and outdoor shots.

Isn't it pretty? I didn't get any of the mirrors collection at first, because I thought they were glitters. Then I saw swatches of them and realized I was missing out. Originally, I wanted to stamp with Zoya Cynthia which I posted
here but when I started, I realized it wasn't going to show on my nails. So instead, I grabbed China Glaze Calypso Blue. Which is one of my all time favorite blues. I posted that alone
here. I used stamping plate M65, which is a geometric funky disco design, but my nails are small and it didn't really translate. I topped it off with my funky french. Here it is.

This isn't quite what I had in mind when I started this but it came out OK I guess. I dread taking this blue off because I know Calypso Blue leaves horrible smurf hands behind. Oh the price we pay for beauty!
Want to also share a funny with you. On Tuesday, Virginia had an earthquake. Guess where I was? In the bathroom where I work. Now really-is that a place to be when an earthquake hits? I'm OK and so is my house-was a little scary, but when it was happening, I didn't realize what it was, so didn't get too scared.
How about this mani? Thoughts?
gosh those cats are cute! and beautiful zoya :)
