Zoya Kelly gets Spongy with Zoya Trixie

Happy Friday!!

  For today I have a simple sponged mani featuring one of my all time favorite Zoya colors. Even though lately I've been craving bright, Summery manis for some reason Kelly kept jumping out at me. Sooo, I decided to go with my gut and came up with this... 
For this simple mani I just used some cut up sponge from the art supply store and some of Zoya's Trixie on the tips of my nails. I ended up LOVING this look. I really like how simple and clean it is but at the same time it is blingy and just a little flashy. Trixie is AMAZING for sponging.

Here is a swatch of the awesomeness that is Kelly. This was one of my first Zoya's ever and will always have a special place in my stash as one of my true faves. I may have a bajilion Greys but Kelly takes the cake.
So what have we learned today? Zoya Kelly and Trixie= Best friends forever!! lol.

What do you think?

    I'm wearing Kelly right now too!! :D But now that I see them together, wishing I had Trixie too. I don't currently own any Zoya sparklies, hoping to snag some on the next sale :D

    This is soo pretty. I love how you describe dpi gong as a "simple" technique. I've yet to try it because it scares me.. Lol. I have all the tools for it... But for some reason I'm so nervous... Maybe soon.
    This look is stunning though!!!!

    SO pretty! I usually use makeup sponges to try and do a glitter gradient but it never comes out right. I think I need to get an actual sponge.

    Looks great! Love the combo!
    It doesn't look like Kelly though... the color on your nails doesn't match the bottle! Looks black...

    I adore this look! The sponging on of the Trixie is wonderful! I completely agree with you on this one...meant for each other! Curious what kind of 'art store' sponges you picked up - there seem to be so many - ones with holes, ones that look more like make-up sponges - and ones in-between...what kind is best for nail sponging???

    I love Kelly! It was one of my first Zoyas too. I dont think Zoya will ever be able to top this gray.
