Zoya Lovely Spring 2013 & Qtica™ in general :D

Helloooooooooooo! I got a couple of wonderful packages in the mail today...one being my Zoya Lovely sampler. EEeeeeeeeeeEEeeeeeeeee!



Aren't they yummy??!?!?! The colors from left to right are:

  • Piaf
  • GieGie
  • Julie
  • Blu
  • Neely
  • Jacqueline

I was going to hold off on painting my nails until the weekend. As you can see from my thumb I didn't have a whole lot of wear on my nails yet...even though I painted them on Sunday. I kept looking over at the polishes and thinking.....eeeeeee! I want! Now! So...I did. JULIE it is!

The colour is delicious. Ah-May-Zeeeng! The formula on this was very thin, almost runny. Took me one nail to figure out the best way to control it. I did three thin coats on top of a base of Qtica™ Natural Nail Growth Stimulator and Butter™ London Nail Foundation™. I used Zoya Armor Topcoat and Qtica™ Half Time Polish Drying Accelerator. I think I finally have a base & topcoat combo that really works for my nails. I used the combo for the first time on Sunday and the manicure stayed five days! Normally I'm chipping after two or three. I didn't really have chipping on this one, just some grow out! I took this picture yesterday:

I'm going to rave for a few minutes about the Qtica™ Natural Nail Growth Stimulator. This stuff is a miracle potion for my nails. I had the most disgusting little nubby nails on the face of the earth before I started using it. They were also thin as paper and would bend or peel...ugh!

Nublets! This is from October.
I started using the Qtica™ stuff at the beginning of November. I saw it on their site, Mom was doing an order, so I thought what the hell and got the small bottle. Mom said I should document the growth of my nails using the stuff...so I sent her this picture. 11/27 was about a week or so in to using it.

As you can see there is quite a bit of growth after a little over a week! I use the stuff as a base coat every time I paint my nails. The website says you will see about 1/4 inch growth in 2 weeks. Uhm....yea! I sent a picture of my nails sans-polish to Mom tonight...

This is my left hand again
So about a month and a half of using the stuff and BAZOW! My ring finger grows like a maniac! I'm not sure why haha. This is the first time I can ever remember my nails being this long and not breaking, peeling, chipping, ripping, etc. I used to wear my nails about this length as ACRYLICS! I am so glad I decided to take them off and start doing my own nails. I actually enjoy painting them now...and I get more on my nail than my fingers!

So...I shall end this post now. Its now about 11:05 pm and I have meetings from 10:00 am - 5:00 pm again tomorrow. Can't wait for the weekend!
