I was cleaning all weekend, and it left me with brittle nails, so when I went to strip my polish and file my nails on Sunday, several of them split. 😦 I decided to cut all of them down and polish the nubs with something neutral until they grow out a little more. Fortunately, Zoya’s got my back, as always.

Zoya Madeline is from the Fall 2014 Naturel 2 collection, and is the lightest of the three rose tones released for the transitional season. I added a gradient of butter LONDON Rosie Lee, purchased in the latest Ulta sale, from the cuticle up to add some sparkle. The colors match perfectly, so the effect is subtle.

Of course, I chipped it all taking out the trash, so I’ll have to redo tonight! Oh, well. I have plenty of neutrals to try out.
