Zoya Storm & Purple Holographic Stripes

I got my Zoya polishes two days ago and I knew I have to use one of them (if not ALL of them) for my next mani. I've been planning to do this design for a while, I just wasn't sure what colors I should use, but then when I saw the gorgeous Zoya Storm with it's stunning holographic sparkle, I decided to combine it with another holographic polish.

For the base I applied one layer or Pupa - Violet 033 which is a lovely purple / violet holographic polish. It's holo effect isn't as strong and linear as I wish it was, but it looks lovely and the coverage is really good with only once coat. It's dry time is really fast too, which was great since I didn't have to wait long before using the striping tape.
After placing randomly the striping tape on the nails I applied two coats of the beautiful Zoya Storm. This one is simply gorgeous in the sun, it's a black base with scattered holo effect. It was a bit sheer, I did expect it to be more opaque with one coat, but two quick coats did the job (I only waited about a minute between the coats). Then I quickly pulled the striping tape off the nails and I got this lovely result. Lastly I applied one coat of Poshe over this design to smooth the surface.
