Zoendout Nails

Hey! I'm Zoe, and I love nail art, polish, and basically everything nails!

  Hey guys! It's been so long since I've posted! I think the last time I posted any nail art was around Halloween. My nails have been in such horrible condition these last few months that I honestly didn't want to post at all, but I've been trying to take extra good care of them so I can start getting back to posting regularly.     The nails I'm wearing today are featuring OPI Make Him Mine from the Mariah Carey Holiday Collection. This was one of the six Liquid Sand shades that were in the collection. This color is a pinkish nude shade with tiny glitters throughout it.   I needed about three thin coats of this for it to be completely opaque. The formula on all of the Liquid Sand polishes in this collection were really good. They weren't thick, they applied evenly and dried nicely.

Happy Halloween guys! Here's a cool mix I did with blood, eyeballs, and bones. For these nails I used my favorite red nail polish, Butter London Pillar Box Red, Essie Blanc, and Essence Black is Back. The bones and eyeball were done with a a dotting tool, detailer brush and blue, white, and black acrylic paints.   What are you guys gonna be for Halloween? I think I'm just going to wear some generic animal ear costume to work haha.

Hey guys! I'm soooo sorry I that I haven't posted in a while, I got a new job and it's full time so I haven't had much time time post or even do my nails that much.

I am excited to share this post though, the OPI San Francisco Fall/Winter Collection. I posted swatches and a review of this collection on my blog that you can view right here

  Hey guys, what's up? Today I have some neon color blocked nails to share. Is color blocking still in? Probably not, but oh well, I'll still rock it.

  For these nails I started with a base coat of white. I used two coats of Essie Blanc. Then, with a striper brush, I used some black acrylic paint to do the black stripes on all of my nails. After I did the black stripes I went in and added the gray stripes to all of my nails using Zoya Dove and China Glaze Recycle. I let all of that dry for about a minute and I added my neon stripes using Sinful Colors Neon Melon.    I wasn't really going for a pattern here, I just went with what I thought looked nice and tried not to put two of the same color next to each other. Next time I do this I'll probably add more, skinnier, black stripes.     Like always, I finished this off with one coat of Seche Vite.

China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy! This super bright neon coral is one of my favorite colors for summer. Scratch that, this is one of my favorite polish colors period.

 Hey guys! Happy (almost) 4th of July! These are the nails I'll be wearing tomorrow.

   The colors I used for these nails were Essie Blanc, Ciaté Power Dressing, and OPI Red Hot Gift. I used a stiper brush and OPI Red Hot Gift for the stripes on the accent nail, I would've used tape for nicer lines, but me and tape just don't work very well together. I freehanded the little star inside the halfmoon with some white acrylic paint and a small striper brush.

Hey guys! Today’s post features some neon and holographic glitter, it’s like a rave on my nails. This orange is Color Club Wham! Pow! and the name is fitting because this color is crazy bright! I needed about three coats and I really should’ve put this over white, but I didn’t. The formula on this one was really meh too, it’s kinda thick and it dried before it could even out. I guess the end result is worth it though, because it’s so bright and pretty. The gold glitter I’m wearing is Stun from Floss Gloss. This is a holographic gold glitter and wow, this is awesome. I love everything about this nail polish. I only needed two coats of this and the formula was really great for being a glitter.

How did you do your nebula nails? They looked amazing omfg

Haha Thank you so much! I did those a long time ago and I haven't done any nebula nails for a while, but, if I remember correctly, I started with a base of black and picked out about 5 or 6 really bright colors like yellow, green, blue, pink and orange and white.

I let the black dry and I dabbed the colors onto each nail using a chunk of makeup sponge starting with blue and then green, yellow, pink and last orange. I wanted to mix it up and I tried to make each nail different, so I didn't use all of those colors on every nail.

Then, I used a small dotting tool dipped in white and made random dots meant to look like bigger stars. I also used a glittery top coat, but you don't have to do that. After that I just finished with a coat of seche vite and done!

It's really no secret that I like studded things, so today I have some nails using these edgy spike studs from Born Pretty Store.   The nude polish that I used for these was Zoya Avery and the gold gradient was done with Julep Oscar.

  Do you guys like Daft Punk? I do, and If you're like me and you've been waiting for this album for 7 years you're probably excited too.  I did these nails because their new album, Random Access Memories, came out today. I've been listening to the leak for about a week and I think it's pretty awesome!

   For these nails I started with two coats of a regular black, I used Essence Black is Back, on each finger.  For the logo on my thumb, I used white acrylic paint. The glitters on my index and middle fingers are Thomas and Guy-Manuel from Daring Digits Daft Punk set that I don't think is available anymore.

  The glitter on my ring and index fingers is just some loose black glitter that I poured over a coat of wet black polish. I used that because I think it looks like those really cool YSL sequin suits that they're wearing now.  I used two coats of top coat on these just to be sure that everything was nice and smooth.

The Walmart near my house finally carries these Hard Candy nail colors so I picked up Black Tie Optional  the last time I was there. This color is freaking awesome. I love it soooo much. This polish has all different sizes of hexagon glitters in black and white and black bar glitters.

I did one coat of this over Ciaté Big Yellow Taxi. I did use two coats of top coat over this because I didn't want the bar glitters to poke out and snag on things like they normally do. I feel like this glitter could work over almost anything. You could put this over poop and it would look nice.   This was a bit difficult to remove, but it's glitter so I kind of expected that.

Hey guys! I have really been slacking on posting and I'm sorry about that. Here is one of the OPI Liquid Sand nail colors from the Mariah Carey collection. This one is The Impossible, it's a jelly based, bright reddish hot pink with lots of glitter and stars.    I needed three coats for this to be completely even, but I didn't mind because there's no need for a top coat with these nail colors if you want to keep the sandy texture. The texture of these actually wasn't as rough as I'd imagined either and this nail polish was surprisingly easy to get off.

   Hey guys! I'm sure you've been hearing about those big Hard Candy nail polish displays at some Walmart stores. Only some Walmart stores have these displays and the one closest to my house didn't, but my awesome cousin picked this up for me at hers (thanks Michelle!)

This color is a true turquoise blue with tons of teeny tiny black and silver (they look white because they're in a pigmented base) hex glitters. When I first opened the bottle I really thought this was going to be a nightmare to apply, much to my surprise the formula was good! I only had to use two coats for complete opacity, this went on smooth and I only needed one coat of top coat!

  Hey guys!  Here is are some gradient nails that I did that I think look really pretty for spring! The gradient is really subtle, but I like it.    I used two Essie colors, but I don't know the name of them because the labels are missing. I do think that the pink/coral one close to my cuticles is California Coral, though.  I did this gradient starting with two coats of the color that I think is called California Coral and then I used a damp makeup sponge to dab the other color about halfway down each nail.

hiya, just wondered if you use false nails? looking through your images it looks that way... how often do you repaint them? is there a special nail polish remover you use?

My nails are actually real! :D

  Here are the nails that I'll probably still have on for Easter, Pastel Plaid! Yep, I took the easy way out and just did some stripes, but it still really like these.   For these nails I started with a base of Shallow from Colour Gossip. I used the longest striper that I have for these. I started with the yellow, Sinful Colors Unicorn. The pink stripes are OPI Pink Friday, the purple stripes are Sinful Colors Candy Coated. Last but not least, the blue stripes are Sinful Colors Sugar Rush. I used two coats of top coat on these so they wouldn't feel lumpy.   I hope you guys have a happy Easter!
