Oxblood Nails Courtesy of Zoya ‘Dakota’ and more Zoya Polish Swatches

  I took advantage of the Zoya 3 for free promotion.  Since I’m into dark shades, especially during the winter, I chose Raven, Cynthia, and Dakota.  All of them are my favorites for different reasons;  however, since receiving my Zoya polishes, I’ve rocked Zoya ‘Dakota’ more often.

Zoya ‘Dakota’, I would describe as the perfect oxblood red polish, which is very much ‘in’ right now.  Usually, I’m not a fan of red polishes, but, this one has me hooked.  The only downside is that with two coats, it comes off a little sheer; therefore, to achieve the color payoff, and opacity that I like I used three coats.

This is my current ‘Nail of the Week’ using Zoya ‘Dakota’ with Zoya’s ‘Gloria‘ as an accent on my ring fingers.

Here are the other polishes – ‘Raven‘ and ‘Cynthia‘

I added some nail glitter that I purchased from Avon.   I’m working on my nail art skills.  By the way, that glitter is sooo messy!
