Mani Mash-Up: Scofflaw & Zoya

Purchased By Shelby Lou (Scofflaw)
Press Sample (Zoya)

I thought I'd share this mani mash-up I wore last Saturday for a nail get-together with my nail friends Joy (IG@joyrserio) and Meghan (Will Paint Nails For Food & Renaissance Cosmetics). We hung around the trendy Elmwood Village in Buffalo and had some great nail polish chat, noms, and shopping times. And it was perfectly gorgeous and sunny all day! Meghan also shared some of her new microglitter collection with us, you can check out a swatch and a macro of Selene on my instagram. The collection releases this Sunday at 12pm EST!

The mani I wore was simple but fun... and it was what I happened to be wearing from earlier in the week haha. On my thumb, index, and middle fingers I wore Scofflaw Nail Varnish Velocipedestrienne--that was still hard to type even with 6 years of French in grade school. On my ring and pinky I wore Zoya Arlo.

I know I have been very public about my love-hate relationship with textured polish. I actually found I was able to wear Arlo with one coat of topcoat, which took away the worst of the sand-papery texture I dislike. I think wearing it on only two fingers also helped. I only freaked out a couple times over four days when filing some papers at work haha. I got great wear from both of these polishes. I credit Pretty & Polished's base and topcoat, they work wonders for me.

Skittlette with Scofflaw Nail Varnish Sturm Und Drang

Today I have a skittlette featuring Sturm Und Drang from Scofflaw Nail Varnish. Scofflaw informs us that "Sturm Und Drang" is German for "Storm and Stress" but the name reminds me of Durmstrang Insititute from Harry Potter...hmm, maybe Durmstrang came from the German. Anyway, Scofflaw is an indie maker with very unique polishes which I love using in skittlettes. This one even looks a little Halloween-y to me!

Skittlette featuring Sturm Und Drang

Scofflaw describes this polish as "a pewter polish full of shimmer and scattered silver holographic highlights. It features glitters in aqua, silver, gunmetal, lavender, violet, and lime green."

For this manicure I used:

Pinky--3 thin coats of Dance Legend Argentum

Ring & Middle--Sturm Und Drang, 2 coats with one coat topcoat

Index--3 coats SquareHue Flower Power, stamping is with Vivid Lacquer plate VL-002 and Pure Ice Silver Star

Thumb (not shown)--Sturm Und Drang 

Hmm, didn't realize that the oil I used was going to show up so much in my photos. I supposed I over-loved my cuticles haha!

If you look really hard I nicked my index finger and my star on the tip is missing an arm, oops! There was no way I was going to do that all over again so I just used the green to cover it hehe. I have been working really hard on reminding myself sometimes "good enough" is more enjoyable :-)
