I ordered my first ever 3 zoya polishes during their new years promo, and they came! This mani was designed around showing off maisie, a green/blue fleck top coat. And it’s beautiful.
I started with a black base. I taped off most of the nail, and put a strip of striping tape down near the tip as well, giving me an exposed double line. The tip-most part went green, while the smaller line went blue. When those were dry, I polished on 2-ish coats of maisie, either using tape to tape off the green and blue part, or just eye-balling it (much faster!).
I wanted a green stripe, a black stripe, and a blue stripe leading in to the flecks because I thought it would highlight the colors better. It kinda worked. My thumbs just got black, green and blue swirled on top, and then stripped with striping tape. I painted black over them and then used maisie over the whole nail.
Of course, I matted everything because the internet has shown me that matte top coats are awesome over flakies!
Colors used (other than my clear base coat):
- Black: Sinful Colors – Black on black
- Green: Wet n’ Wild – SaGreena the Teenage Witch
- Blue: NYC – Empire State Blue
- Flecks: Zoya – Maisie
- Top Coat: Hard Candy – Matte-ly in love
Enjoy!
This highlights the color shifts in Maisie…it goes from a bright green to blue, to deep blue (I swear its almost indigo in certain lights). It’s stunning.
Unfortunately it hasn’t been sunny once in the last 4 days (yes, this is what is on my nails right now) so I can’t take a photo in sunlight! But I bet it’s beautiful

That is really impressive
thanks! the concept seemed so simple in my head…but it ended up looking awesome despite the actual amount of time it took!
These are beautiful – I must try the matte top coat over flaky glitter, it’s such a nice effect.
I know! I kept seeing it pop up on other people’s pictures and had to try it. Even my boyfriend commented on how cool it looked
