Breezi watermarble
Breezi is described on the Zoya.com website as:
I had Easter nail art on all last week. I decided that the very first chance I got I'd wear it.
Initially I wanted to do a water marble with the Sunshine collection--which consists of gorgeous sparkly shades like Apple and Reva. But I couldn't resist Breezi.
I wanted to do a spiral watermarble.Being that this is only my second watermarble attempt I didn't quite manage to get a spiral. A few nails have the circular pattern, but the others don't.
Still I really like how it turned out even if it wasn't what I originally planned. It reminds me of Chinese Pottery or a tidal pool.
Soft, dusty, dirty medium cerulean blue with an opaque cream finish. A super chic high-fashion denim look for nails.While I'm not sure I agree with the denim, as it is very bright, it is in fact a gorgeous cerulean color. I've been coveting it since I first saw the shade in a nail art tutorial. When I saw it, a long with some of the other colors I'd wanted, were part of Zoya's Summertime collection--which I picked up in that AMAZING deal they had two weeks ago--I couldn't say no.

Zoya haul
Last week's Zoyal deal just about killed me. I couldn't pass it up. By the time I got there most of the trio-packs were already sold out. But the Sunshine and Summertime packs were calling my name.
I can't wait to play with them. Breezi and Sooki are two of the colors on my wishlist and they are in the pack!

Easter Skittles
I've been wanting to do pastel skittles for awhile. I just didn't have the right pink until April's Julep box. The Maven's must have read my mind!
I've been trying all sorts of different types of nail art. I think for Easter Sunday I'm going to stamp. But for the week leading up to it water decals and such.
Here's my rendition of Easter. AKA "It looks like Easter exploded on your nails."
I found these water decals on Ebay. They are really cute and easy to use.
The colors. L-R: China Glaze Refresh-min, Color Club Take me to your Chateau, Ulta Cream of the Crop, Essie Lilacism, China Glaze Sun Worshiper, Julep Penelope.
Hand painted baby chicks!

Right hand (OMG non-dominant!) I had some small multicolored pearls (Ebay again) that I thought would make awesome eggs.

OPI Wooden Shoe Like to Know?
After a whirlwind romance with color for the past couple months I'm hitting the darker shades for April, it seems. Last week I wore Lubu Heels for FIVE days! Holy Cow! I didn't get any photos of it do to a busy schedule, but I am in love with that shade. It's soo gorgeous.
Last night when I was debating on colors I thought I was going to go colorful again. But wouldn't you know when I opened my OPI drawer there was Wooden Shoe Like to Know staring up at me. I really adore the OPI Holland Collection, as I had gravitated towards Pedal Faster Suzi before making this my ultimate choice.
This could easily be a two-coater, but I did three just to smooth out any imperfections in my nail painting skill. It's super-glossy even without topcoat on, and it has this gorgeous shimmer to it.
As for the color itself I have no idea what to call it. Is it a dirty purple? It for sure has delicious purple undertones.
I call it hot chocolate.
To make a pun on the name, Yes, I "wood" like to know how to describe this color.
Pictures!
What do you lovlies think of this color? What would you call it?
