Zoya Areej & Lael Floral Mani

Hello Lacquer Luvers! Today I have a floral mani to share with you all featuring two gorgeous shades from Zoya. I also get to show you guys my first mani done with Red Angel stamping plates. Yes, I know, I used a RA plate in my Easter mani but I did this one before I got sick and am just getting around to posting it. So let's get to it!


I began this manicure with a base of Essie Grow Faster followed by two coats of Zoya Areej. Areej can be best described as: "Soft, muted cool fuchsia pink with an opaque cream finish. A pink for when you want a bold pop of color but not something neon-bright." Although this color is more suited for cool skintones, I love the way it looks on me! This lovely comes from Zoya's Summertime Collection and the formula and application is superb. Not surprising, though, right? Zoya's formula for their polishes are always perfection!


For nail art, I stamped on a floral design from Red Angel image plate RA-119 using Zoya Lael. Lael can best be described as: "A deep, saturated red-toned plum purple with a shiny creme finish. A rich grape shade for fall glamour." I really liked how this color stamped, although it didn't come out perfect. The two shades went nicely together. I added a funky french tip using Lael & Scotch tape and finished this manicure with a coat of Essie Good To Go topcoat.



So what do you think of this manicure my dear lacquer luvers? How do you like these two shades together? I'm very excited to get to try out the rest of the images from the RA plates. There are alot of gorgeous designs that I am dying to use throughout the rest of the year. As always, I hope you all liked this post my dear Lacquer Luvers and I look forward to sharing my next post with you, xo!
