NOTD: Dove by Zoya

 I love when my nails are painted. I feel like it makes me look more put together no matter what outfit I have on. I usually change my nail polish once a week or so, depending on the wear and time. I am not the best nail painter of all times and can be impatient (not a good combination). I picked this polish, Dove by Zoya, because of its neutral-like color. The Zoya Website describes it as a soft, delicate light neutral gray with an opaque, glossy creme finish. Unexpected and flattering as a wear-with-anything neutral with a twist. 

I start school tomorrow (January 21st) so I wanted a neutral nail polish so it would match. I am a matchy-matchy person. Things have to match or it bothwers me. I just took off a red nail polish, and if I wasn't wearing red in my clothes I wore red lipstick/stain/gloss to tie it in. One reason I loved this color, one less thing I have to worry about.  

Below are some different pictures I took around my house, in different lighting so you can get a better idea how it would look. I did use three coats. The first coat was not opaque at all so you definitely need two layers, but I like to be safe then sorry and normally do 2-3 coats not matter how opaque the first coat is.

I don't own a base coat and my nail polish seems to stay on pretty well without one.I do think a top coat is important for the longevity of your nail polish. I use Essie's Good to Go and I love it. It adds some shine and smoothness to my nails. I would definitely recommend it!
