I have way too many untried polishes. It makes me feel bad that I now have over 500 bottles of nail polish and I continue to add to my collection without having worn all the ones I already have. Wednesday is a color that I picked up during the Zoya Earth Day Promo along with another dozen or so polishes. Yeah, I know…terrible. You can’t really go wrong with Zoya most of the time.
Really beautiful and creamy, right? I’m sure there are a lot of dupes out there…Essie Turquoise & Caicos is the one that comes to mind first, but I haven’t done a side by side comparison yet. This is 3 thin coats.
Since I’m getting back into stamping with a fury, I used Konad M73 and the special black polish. I love the pigment in the black polish, but it is a huge pain to clean up. I still have staining on my skin.
Do you have Zoya Wednesday? Can you think of any other dupes? Let me know what you think!
I loooove Wednesday.
Me too! I don't care if I have dupes. LOL That's when you know it's love. 🙂
My first thought reading this: "….but it's Tuesday!"
My second thought: "Mermaid's Tears?" I think it's a bit brighter than OPI MT though, Essie T&C may lean less blue. I think you need to do a side-by-side 😉
I love this type of color. It relaxes me just to look at it.
Hmmm…Mermaid's Tears could be close too. I also think these kinds of colors are relaxing.
Have you ever met someone names Wednesday? I haven't. Oh, silly Zoya. lol
LOVE this stamping!
Thanks! It was a pain in the butt, but I liked the end product.
Aquadelic, maybe even For Audrey… probably plenty more. Who cares? I love a pretty turquoise. I don't have any zoyas tho. 🙁
Dang I love this stamp!!! Is it in 2 pieces like that or did you put down a tape line? I like it!! I also hate stamping w black because of course it gets all over your cuticles and the polish always stays on my cuticles forever!!! I'm doing black tonight to try that stamp I told you about so tomorrow my nails are probably gonna look kinda messy. Although- I'm taking a shower tonight post-polishing so that might help!! Cross your fingers for me!! Haha.
I used some tape for the stamping and I should have taped off my skin as well because it was a mess afterwards.
Ooooohhh! I can't wait to see what the stamp looks like. Before I learned how to paint my nails, I used to just paint my skin, cuticles, everything and then just get in the shower and soak it off. lol I am sooo glad that I can now paint my nails and I usually don't have to do any clean up.
I hope they turn out great!!!!
I totally do this. I just make a fat mess all over and then pick/rub it off in the shower the next morning. I am trying to get better about it, but I am usually in a rush and don't take the time to be careful. That's my main impediment to nail art…I never feel like i have the time to sit down and dedicate to it. Hopefully life calms the eff down so that I can!
Yes…Keep Calm And Paint Your Nails. LOL
After all the tons of practice I get, I can paint my nails (both hands!) without making a huge mess. If I do make a mess, I clean up with acetone and a brush.
I used to do the same thing! I was so messy, and then just like you said I'd take a shower, or do dishes, whatever and soak the excess off. I'm so much better now but I still need my little brush with some remover on it to clean up my cuticles.
I am so proud of myself when I don't have to do clean up. It really makes a huge difference when you have a clean manicure without polish all over the place…maybe not so much in person in every day life, but you can't take pictures of that!
Exactly. In my first pictures my cuticles are horrible but they looked really quite good in regular everyday life. I swear! haha.

I have this one too and haven't tried it. It looks much more turquoise than I thought it would (I expected it to be dustier). It looks great on you!
Thanks so much! I just took a peek at your blog and you have the most amazing pictures ever. I love your nail client benefactor story…what a great thing for someone to do. 🙂
Thank you, Cynthia. I have been very lucky. You just never know what life will bring…so I try to be ready for anything.
I love Essie Turquoise and Caicos (in fact, I'm wearing it right now!) so Zoya Wednesday makes me very happy to look at. 🙂 As for dupes, maybe Nails Inc Haymarket? China Glaze For Audrey looks bluer than Wednesday, I think.
I have been wanting Haymarket for ages. I always look at it when I'm at sephora but end up putting it back. I know I have similar colors already, but the formula is what I love the most when it comes to nails inc.
I love this! I love these kinds of colors. Even though I have lots of them, they still suck me in! That stamp looks SUPER COOL. Kind of tribal, but also kind of like tire treads.
Hmm….it's supposed to be really geometric. I did split up the design so I can see what you mean. "Look ma, I'm roadkill!"
This is what the whole stamp looks like: http://oflifeandlacquer.wordpress.com/2011/12/22/…

I love Wednesday. I don't have any dupes. I did a comparison on my blog, I think!
Oooh…I'm gonna go look it up.
