Zoya - Elodie


This is another one that was very difficult to photograph properly! Elodie and I definitely had some disagreements! Sun shots wash it out terribly, and shade shots try to make it too orange. This is a beautiful coral, almost-jelly polish and I love it!




Alas, we all know that I cannot leave well enough alone. I haven't tried the stringy, striped, "spun sugar" technique yet, so I grabbed Song and Apple and decided to give it a go on top!



I'm not sure if it was the color combination or how thick everything was once I applied topcoat, but I was definitely not a fan! Strangely, I love this type of design on everyone else when I see it, though!

P.S. Be prepared to get spammed with lots of new-baby pictures! I spent 12 hours yesterday morning and afternoon at the maternity ward but quit making progress for hours on end. They gave me the option of Pitocin to force labor to progress, but I'd prefer to avoid unnecessary meds. So I'm home waiting it out, but the doctor said I'd more-than-likely have her within the next 48 hours! So we'll see what happens!

Really like this color! I haven't tried the spun sugar thing yet either...it think it just has to be really thin from one of the tutorials I had watched.

I haven't seen a lot of tutorials on it, I just see a billion manis using it all over the place! =P I kind of like it, but I want to use different colors and try it again sometime.
Oh, I LOVE the spun sugar accent nails! Must try it myself!

I like the look a lot, but I need to try it again in different colors!

Thanks for letting me know!
LOVE the accent nail! ooooh i cant wait! I agree with you choice to opt out of the pitocin, i heard it makes the pain a lot worse :( good luck!

I figured it'd hurt bad enough, no need to unnecessarily make it even worse! =P I ended up having to have Pitocin anyway, but it didn't do any good and they had to cut me open instead! :( Even more boo for that!
YAY for babies!!!!! I haven't tried the spun sugar technique either, but I am curious about it!

I think I'd like it better in diffident colors. It really wasn't too difficult to do though!
It's a very pretty coral. :-)
