Weekly Series: #bhbuntriedchallenge

Heeeeey y'all! Today on the blog I am starting a new series! How exciting! A nail friend, +The Polished Perspective came up with a huge list for our little nail group so that we could delve into our untried and unloved polishes. This is something we had chatted a little about before so when she posted our list, I was all too excited to get started! The first prompt was to use a polish that started with the letter A. Let me show you what I came up with!

I started with Zoya Arabella as my untried/unloved polish. Arabella is one of the first polishes I bought after becoming an aggressive polisher. I found her at Ulta in the clearance bin and since I was buying everything under the sun at the time, of course I snatched it up. I don't show my mainstream polishes enough love so that's the drawer I went to first and Arabella was an easy choice because look how pretty she is! I have used Arabella in only one other mani that I can recall so it was sorta like meeting an old friend when I painted on that first coat. I did two coats of Arabella on all of my nails except my ring finger. For that nail, I did a swirl marble accent nail (inspired by Sveta Sanders) using Zoya Margo and M Polish Cranberry. I found that using my No. 7 watermarble tool from Whatsupnails worked the best for this technique. Once everything was dry, I topcoated with a shiny, quick dry topcoat. Heres the final result:

Long story, long - I must deeply apologize to Zoya Arabella for ignoring her for so long. The perfection that is the Zoya Pixie Dusts cannot and should not be ignored for so long ever again! 

What do you think of this mani? What's your favorite polish that starts with the letter A?

Thanks for reading!
