So you've waited this long to start thinking about what nails you want to rock New Year's Eve, and you're kind of panicking. Wrapping up your outfit, styling your hair, and getting to the party all come before your plans to even start a manicure for yourself.

Well don't worry...your procrastination may be the best thing for you this time. I've got a super easy look for you to recreate tomorrow that looks like the ball dropped and shattered all over your nails.

Don't have nail foil or foil glue? The Foil Em' kit I used in the tutorial was picked up at Sally's, so stop by there today so you're fully prepped!

Zoya Ignite Swatches & Review

I'm really excited to share this week's nails with you. These are the complements to the Zoya Entice collection post from October. And although they're shimmers which generally aren't my favorites, I was able to pull one of my new favorite nail art designs out of it. Check it out!

I saw this sweatshirt and knew it'd be a great way to use Teigen (one of the Ignite polishes) for nail art. The lips and checkerboard patterns were both freehand, and I fished the glitter for the index finger out of an OPI polish, I Snow You Love Me.

Each of the colors applied wonderfully in two coats. You'll definitely need to let each layer dry between coats because the microshimmer can cause a little grit that tends to pull with the brush if you layer on top of wet polish.

Now let's look at the swatches of Ignite! First up...Teigen.

Teigen (2 coats) is a dark pink foil with gold microshimmer engrained within.

Autumn (2 coats) is copper foil with gold microshimmer. (Heads up...there's lots of gold!)

Color Club Made in NY Swatches & Review

Did you know that Color Club polishes were born in New York City? It's completely appropriate then that their latest line of colors represent the city that never sleeps. Today, we're checking out Made in NY from Color Club (available here).

The collection includes 7 polishes - 4 microglitters and 3 non-sheer finishes (though I wouldn't call them all cremes necessarily). The microglitter shimmers each have their own finish, that when placed over black, shine and twinkle like diamonds. This inspired my nail art for the collection...New York diamonds!

Nail Art

See the subtle glint of each diamond? I wish I'd gotten you all a video of the sparkle in each action. I had a great time creating these, because each diamond is quite small, but my fine line practice paid off...in diamonds!

Swatches

First, let's take a look at the swatches of the non-sheer polishes.

Apple of My Eye (2 coats) is a great winter color. This is a classy, sophisticated magenta-burgundy with a little bit of shimmer to accent its shine on the nail.
