Mono Mosaic

Hi Goddesses

So here's the monochromatic one.  It's very 60s, no?

There is a simplicity to this one which is quite appealing.  It's not my favourite, but I do like that it's different.

The polishes this time were -

* base of Zoya Dove (had TOTALLY forgotten how dreamy that was)

* Claire's Galaxy

* Bettina Iron

* Glitter Gal Silver

* a silver metallic by Fearne

* SH White On

I'm not really a black and white girl - I like it in colour, and I like it loud lol, but I can definitely see the appeal of this.  As I said, it's got quite a retro vibe to it.  Maybe it would have looked more awesome with just one tile of red in it ?

By the way, this is also the first one where I redid any of the lines - the paler colours were REALLY unforgiving of any colouring outside the lines.

I have 2 more left to show you - the purple tomorrow - and then the dreamy greeny one.

Enjoy xx  :)

ZOYA – Dove

The legendary Zoya Dove, probably the first Zoya I truly lusted after, is elegance in a bottle.  Super glossy, super swoony, this makes your hands look like a million dollars, and will make you feel that little bit more ladylike.

Dove is pretty much the perfect grey.  Light as meringue, supersoft, airy – this is delicacy in a bottle.  There is nothing over-powering about this colour, yet it’s still a traffic stopper, mainly due to it’s shy, subdued glamour.

Dreamy and creamy, divine and superfine, lush and plush, this is a grey for all seasons.  Pastel and neutral, monochromatic and subtle, this is a colour that matches any outfit, yet takes a back-step so that it’s not the centre of attention.  Ironic, because anything this beautiful WILL always be the centre of attention.

In the bottle, it looks like a fluffy cloud of happiness, all muted wonder and feathery nuance.  It really really does remind me of doves and pigeons – that fine underbelly softness.  Dove is a colour you just want to nuzzle.

Just for fun, I then splattered on it, with a white and Caitlin, then Gemma, Jo, Dree and Kotori.  What was interesting was how less beautiful the other colours made it, bleaching out its pearly wonder and replacing it with something a little more concrete.

I think it works best with Gemma – this would make a really good base for a camouflage mani – and like the thumb too with its tricolour of glossy goodness.

You only need one grey – make it this one and you’ll never look back.

Have fun my lovelies J
