Zoya Dovima and Loredana

Apparently I was totally kidding myself about being super productive at work yesterday, and I did hardly any of the chores I wanted to do. I even gave myself an incentive of $100 to spend on polish if I finished everything, and instead... I just watched The Tudors on Netflix all night. Is it worth watching all the way through?

Also, interesting things happening back home in Canada these days. Conservative majority and NDP opposition? Pretty amazing. I can't wait to see what happens over the next few years.

Ok back to nail polish! :) Zoya Matte Velvets are definitely my favourite Zoya finish. I had to get the black and grey (Dovima and Loredana) during my Zoya Exchange this year!

Zoya Dovima - Not just a plain black matte, this one has some depth to it. I was a bit disappointed to find that it required 3 coats for full opacity though :( At least mattes dry quickly, so I wasn't *too* disappointed.



Here it Dovima with topcoat; I don't think I captured just how twinkly this polish is!



Zoya Loredana - This is a silvery, grey colour that isn't quite as matte as the other matte velvets I have (or maybe it takes longer to dry?), but it seems really different to my eye. It's so much brighter and sparkley, even without top coat. I think this one was 3 coats for the picture, but 2 coats would be enough in real life.



Here is Loredana with topcoat!



So I think I own all the Matte Velvet polishes now! I'm so not on board with the summer Mod mattes because they don't look nearly as awesome as the velvets AND I heard they need 3-4 coats each D:!! Cmon Zoya, please make more matte VELVETS! :D
