I've had some readers requests if there was any difference between those 2 matte finishing topcoats. and in short: no there is no difference. they look the same, they smell the same, they dry in the same time and they achieve the same flat looking finish:
index + ring: essie, middle + pinkie: china glaze
and here's an autumnally stamping using p18 and konad gold on zoya kalista

quickie: zoya kalista
Labels: purple/violett, shimmer, zoyaI don't have many zoyas. in fact I only have 5, and I won 1 on them. I don't know why; they have pretty colors of high quality, but they are just not "calling" me ^^
anyways, I've had this one quite a while now, and it's the first time I applied it. I had it on my wishlist for quite some time and couldn't even remember how it looked. and I was shocked when I got it, because I don't think it still would be on my wishlist now *lol* ("be careful what you wish for, it might come true" haha)
but it's a good color for fall, I think, and it's not that bad, just a matter of taste...

kalista is a vampy redtoned purple with bronze shimmer. this makes it look brownish or orange-toned. it's opaque with 2 coats and dries rather quickly. it was creamy and smooth, but the brush was crappy, because the edges were longer than the middle o_O
on the pics I'm wearing high shine topcoat. I applied some matte topcoat and stamping, you will see this in the next post!
about sunpics: today I realized, that the sun doesn't make it to our windows anymore. this is so weird, in summer we have sunshine from morning til late afternoon! so I guess there will be no more sunlightpics before springtime o_O I'm living in an apartment on 3rd floor in a big city, and there is no way I could go outside to make pics. :-(

für diese maniküre habe ich als grundlack zoya harley genommen, ein frostiges grau mit rosastich. darüber habe ich 2 coats essence open water dive aufgetragen, was dem ganzen ein grünliches schimmern verliehen hat.
danach kam die spongetechnik zum einsatz: mit einem schwamm habe ich silbernen und weißen stampinglack auf dem nagel verteilt, um den effekt von meerschaum zu erzielen (rechts im bild)nun habe ich diverse meeres- und wassermotive ausgewählt und mit anthrazitfarbenem stampinglack die motive gestampt. ich habe m16, m27 und m34 benutzt. zum schluss gabs noch einen coat open water dive, um den kontrast etwas zu reduzieren.

zoya tangy ist ein tolles lemongrün mit goldgelb schimmer. er lässt sich gut auftragen, ist allerdings etwas dünn und daher deckt er nicht so gut. ihr seht hier 2 coats auf 1 coat weiß. der lack hat eine durchschnittliche trocknungszeit. stampen kann man damit nicht.
zoya tangy, M29so ein schönes grün, der tangy. ich habe ihn adoptiert, eine andere lack-teuse hat ihn verschmäht... er hat ein schönes neues zuhause mit vielen geschwistern bei mir gefunden!
