It's that time of year again when Zoya releases their transitional collection of lacquers. What is "transitional collection," you ponder? Essentially, they're the collection that is released in between--hence the term transition--the winter/holiday collection and the spring collection. With all that being said, let us just move on to the nail art. Shall we?


I wasn't entirely too sure as to what I wanted to do with this collection, but ultimately I landed at attempting to water marble with the Whispers collection.

I was really hoping the transitional collections would be more satins like last year. (Press release HERE & nail art HERE.) But hey, this collection is still pretty decent on it's own.

Are you down with transition collections? Or do you prefer the jump from winter straight into summer? Let me know in the comments.
Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.

Nail fails. They happen to everyone, myself included. The concept for this mani was simple, stenciled stars using a nude and light blue color scheme. Seems easy enough right? So I thought at least.

Ah yes, 2015. The year I re-enrolled in college, pulled teeth to get my blog re-designed, attempted to find a work/life/school/blog balance (still working at that by the way), and somewhere in there I managed to squeeze in some nail art.

Before I unleash the bomb nail art I have planned for 2016, let's revisit my top five favorites of the year 2015.

5. Do It For the 'Gram
I don't even think I can count how many times I've declared that IG is my favorite social media platform, be it in real life or on this blog, so it was only a matter of time before I tatted it and made it real commemorated my affection via my artful nail beds.

4. When Nails Imitate Art: Lakwena Maciver

So I wasn't too pleased with the end result because I discovered my lettering capabilities need a ton of work. But, I have to gave an A for effort, besides, Lakwena herself commented that she loved them.



3. Briana's 1st Scaled Gradient

Oh, my first scaled gradient! Nothing like my first time at anything to make my feel all wistful and such. I'd seen the technique (on Insta no less) and  new I had to try it eventually. So, I bought some nail vinyls, picked my two signature colors, and got to work.

2. Zoya Island Fun Nail Art

Y'all know I'm a sucker for crèmes with good formulas and bright colors. So, me falling in love with the Island Fun collection and deeming it my favorite collection of 2015 should come at no surprise.
