Happy Muffin Monday!!
Today's Muffin Monday is brought to you by a stubborn Kitteh who did not want to pick hahah! What I did was I had Mr. LTHP pick the initial Five colors because I just did not want to pick myself and then we set them up for Muffin. She came in... Sat down in front of the arch of colors and started cleaning her pretty little self. Mr. LTHP tried to point her in the direction of the colors and instead she decided she wanted to play and started rolling on her back and being adorable. Mr. LTHP wanted to see
Adina... So I went with her... I beyond love the finished look!
Please please please continue reading. This look is too pretty to miss! So.... Please enjoy Mr. LTHP's pick :D!
I started with a base of Three thin and perfect coats of Zoya's
Adina. I really wanted to play off the Green tones in this beauty so I sponged the tips with some Zoya
Apple. I then went back and sponged lightly on the very tips with China Glaze
Glittering Garland. I then went back over with some
Apple because I really wanted the shimmery
Apple gradient to be more evident. I wanted the look of dainty vines so I went with Konad Plate M73 and used my favorite stamping Green, China Glaze
Jolly Holly. I topped the whole thing off with some Seche Vite. I really love the contrast of the colors in this mani and it is very striking in person. I am all about looks like this one.
Here is a swatch of the lovely
Adina. It just so happens that the genius behind
A England polishes is named
Adina. It is awesome to see her Zoya namesake be such an amazing an unique shade. I'll just let the pictures do the talking.... Yum... This makes me think of mythical Nymphs or something like that.
I love wearing polishes that I have not worn in a very long time and falling in love with them all over again.
Yay for nail art! I missed doing nail art...
Very beautiful mani! I really like how you added more green to Adina's beauty :)
ReplyDeleteSuper Pretty! I love the gradient and the stamp!
ReplyDeleteYour cat(s) is/are so adorable. I know lots of cat lovers online and I love seeing pics of their kitties. At the same time, though, I'm a bit sad that my cat is no longer with me. *big sigh* Anyway! A very interesting base color, the stamping is not my cup of tea, but that's to taste ;)
ReplyDeleteAdina is a really beautiful polish, but I want so much to smash your cat .. He is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeletei love the cats :)
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful you're nails!

As close to perfection as a manicure can get! Makes me really want Adina, and MUFFIN!!!! Your sponging skills are ultra enviable!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is super cute!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love how you played up the duochrome of Adina. Gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat look.
ReplyDeleteOh this is such a beautiful color! I absolutely love the stamping and the sponged green on the tip.
ReplyDeleteVery unique and odd looking polish. I like it on itself, but what you've done with it is simply amazing!
ReplyDeleteAdina is so gorgeous love the stamping too :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteAdorable kittah! So fluffy and cute~! I really like Zoya Adina I can see adding this to my collection. The stamping is a nice compliment. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh I don't have Zoya Adina. It's going on my always ongoing Zoya shopping cart right now. It's really pretty. Love the greens you used for your sponging tip effect. Apple (Zoya) & Glittering Garland (CG) are 2 of my fav sparkling greens. I had been thinking of doing a combo of the 2 for St. Patty's day as a matter of fact - bending them together on a paper plate then applying them mixed on my nail and going for just something plain like a gold or light green Stripe Rite along the tip.
ReplyDeleteLove it! And I love that Muffin decided to be adorable instead of cooperating; such a cute pic.

Gah! I placed my Zoya order today and I wish I had known about Adina before I clicked Buy! I may have to go back and order another 6 polishes! hehe Great swatches. and your kitty is cute!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I went to amazon to get the Konad stamp plate M83 you listed but it is a completely different plate!
ReplyDeleteMust have this plate so I will continue searching.
I really enjoy your blog!
Cheers - Shannon
I was never Adina fan but your stamping is fantastic
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. Great for St Patrick's day.
ReplyDeletegorgeous! Love the sponging and stamping... and the colors :)
ReplyDeleteYou did a really great job, it looks so pretty and lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I love your kitty. Sounds very much like my cat Buddy. Only do what they want when they want. Muffin has made some great choices I see though.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Love your kitty Muffin too. Gorgeous!
