Pink Wednesday ~ Zoya Gilda

Hey dolls, as you know October is breast cancer awareness month. While I'm a pink lover at heart, this cause is also near and dear to me because my mother is a two-time survivor just within the last 5 years. Most people know at least one person who has been affected by breast cancer so its important to continue the campaign for early detection. All of my Pink Wednesday manis this month will be dedicated to my mom. Today I'm wearing Zoya Gilda. This is a bright pink that is filled with the shimmer we all love from Zoya. The shimmer is so bright and sparkly that it gives off a foil or glow from within look. The formula was awesome and opacity was achieved in two coats. 
This is a bright in your face pink and I love everything about it. Its definitely reminiscent of China Glaze 108 Degrees, but this formula was slightly better. I'm going to attempt some form of nail art at least once a week, so I decided to jazz this up with my handy dotting tools. Two coats of OPI Your Royal Shine-ness was applied for the accent nails and the dots were done with Gilda.

Simple, but still cute and girly....just the way I like it. You may have noticed that I've added a watermark to my pictures. Let me know your thoughts on it. Is it too big? Too obtrusive? Bad positioning? I want to include one, but I want it to be as unobtrusive as possible. No need for the watermark to take away from the pictures.

    That color is gorgeous!! And your watermark is fine. I didn't even notice it until I read you added one. I think it's perfect to have it run the length of one of your fingers. Just makes it look like it belongs there instead of fighting the direction of things. Did that make sense?
