Nova turned one on Monday! It has been a bit of a crazy year, raising a puppy - kind of like a practice-baby, haha. For someone who has never had a dog before, it was frustrating at times, but she has grown into a (mostly) very well behaved little pooch and we are so glad we added her to our family! :D

We let her sniff at the whole thing a bit before we cut her off a chunk to eat |
I thought that a great way to honor my cute little puppy for her birthday would be to wear her namesake polish,
Zoya Nova!

Outdoors, shade |
I borrowed this pinkish-purple glitterbomb from Becky, and somehow after sitting around for several months is has turned totally watery - which is interesting, since normally the glitters I have get thicker over time, not thinner. Any thoughts on that one? Because of this I actually layered
Zoya Nova over
Zoya Rihana, a pretty perfectly matching shade. Then I used
Zoya Trixie and Red Angel plate
RA 101 to add the tips. Finally, I used
Butter London The Black Knight to add cute little paw prints on my ring finger and thumb using a dotting tool.

Nova is a gorgeous color - while the glitter is a silvery light pink, the base is a sheer fuchsia, and when layered the glitter takes on many different colors, giving the polish a lot of depth. A great polish with an equally great name! Happy Birthday to my sweet puppy - it has been a great first year and I look forward to many more years to come!
