Zoya - Frida - Jelly Gradient


I don't like visible nail line (VNL) but I love the look of this enough to forgive it. I used Zoya Frida and started painting at my nail tip. I did one coat up to the first fourth of the nail, then next you do to the halfway mark, third is to the 3/4 mark and then I finished with two full coats. It looks great in real life and I adore this range of jelly colours by Zoya, they are easy to use and so glossy. Dry time is a little longer than usual but that just means I need to be more patient :)

TGIF!!! Have an amazing weekend Tx

  2. This is quite pretty! Though I think it's more of a syrup (a.k.a. sugar syrup) nail art technique than a flat-out gradient. See http://www.polishinsomniac.net/2012/03/how-to-syrup-nails.html. She says, "Syrup manicures are a form of gradient using a single jelly polish for the entire gradient." Regardless of what the nail art technique is actually called, you executed it flawlessly...very beautiful. I'm not a fan of the color green but this is the second mani I love that has used Frida. I guess I'm going to have to break down and buy it. (Just in case you're curious, the other mani is at http://oliveviewfashion.com/2013/04/21/the-manicure-that-started-it-all/. (Be sure to click on the picture to enlarge it so you can see the layers to the mani in all their glory.) Thank you! Delphi

  3. I have this color and it is soooo pretty. I also do not care for a VNL so I use a nude color first and then apply Frida or whatever jelly I want. I love how you did this gradient. I'm going to have to give this a go but with some panties on under Frida. =)
