Zoya MatteVelvet Collection and Baroque Nail Art

If you're craving a non-traditional polish post, you'll love today's from Zoya. For Fall 2014, Zoya released their MatteVelvet Collection, which features 6 colors that dry beautifully matte. You know how neon colors dry matte, but they dry a little lumpy? Well these colors glide on beautifully and smooth out perfectly. To get an idea, here's some nail art using the Pro XL Plate 6 from MoYou London.

I didn't use any top coat for that design, just stamped Konad black over Posh and took the picture. See how smooth it is?!

Now let's look at Posh and the other MatteVelvets on their own.

Each polish has a hint of sparkle in it, which also dries matte, creating a really beautiful finish. I didn't for my swatches, but check out how these look with a shiny top coat over them. Peachy Polish did comparison shots with and without a top coat, which can really change the effect of the polish.

Zoya - Posh

Posh (2 coats) is a red matte finish. It's like red velvet on the nails.

Zoya - Veruschka

Veruschka (2 coats) is a Christmas tree green matte with slightly more noticeable sparkle than Posh.

MoYou London Stamping Plate - Tourist Collection 07 Review

Tonight's review is for a stamping company that's making a huge name for itself in the blogging community. MoYou London.

This UK-based company has outdone itself, and creates unique and truly amazing stamping plates. Their patterns are intricate, but so well carved out into the plate, that stamping is a cinch.
