Before & After: Zoya Flair seriotype + UberChic Beauty Fairytale 01

(Press sample; affiliate links)

Hello!

This isn't exactly a Halloween manicure, but it's a manicure that would be awesome if you're dressing up as the Mother of Dragons for Halloween this year!

To start, I did a Nichole-esque seriotype mani (Nichole from Bedlam Beauty, that is) with some of the polishes from Zoya's Flair collection (click here to see my review); I chose Zoya Estelle, Zoya Giada, Zoya Tris, and Zoya Cinnamon:

I have to take a moment to rave about how much I love this type of mani. I never would have thought to do this myself--basically you just keep sponging the different colors onto one another until you're happy with how it looks, and I would have thought for sure the result would get muddy and nasty--but it's amazing and beautiful. If I hadn't seen so many beauties on Nichole's blog, I never would have tried it.

For my next step, I stamped the dragon-scale image from UberChic Beauty's Fairytale 01 plate using MoYou London Ginger Rust, and then topped everything off with the dragon image on my middle finger, using Hit The Bottle Polish Absynthe-Minded.

Here's how it came out:

In my mind, this is exactly the sort of manicure I can see Daenerys wearing, and if I were dressing up as her, I would absolutely wear this. I am completely infatuated with how amazing that seriotype looks under the dragon scales, and I kept this manicure on for several days longer than I really should have, just because I love it so much. Total swoonage.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!!
