Zoya Lovely Collection

I love Zoya's new "Lovely" collection for spring 2013. It's all soft pastel colors with 3 shimmers and 3 creams. Here are some swatches and pictures.

Here is Jacqueline swatched on my nails:

Jacqueline could pass for opaque with one thick coat but I did two thin ones instead. The other colors need two coats as well to be opaque. The colors look true to how they look in the bottle when swatched and weren't runny or hard to use. The shimmery colors were a little sheerer than the the creams but with 2 coats they were just fine.

I love how fresh and girly this collection is. The soft blue polish is my favorite, it's just so mellow and calming. I chose to wear Jacqueline because I was itching to have mannequin hands and it's perfect for that purpose.

Free Zoya Nail Polish

I don't normally share the press releases I get but this one is really exciting!

So which ones are you gonna get? I have a terrible time deciding! I would get in on this as soon as it starts because I'm sure the site will have loading issues with everyone trying to get free polish at one time. Happy hauling :)

Zoya Beach & Surf Collection Review

So I've been busy, blah blah blah, etc etc...Here's the review :)

Beach:

Beach:

(From left to right)
Reagan-a deep, cool fuchsia pink with subtle blue undertone and an opaque cream finish
Lara-a medium magenta-rose pink with subtle yellow undertone and a soft cream finish
Shelby- a soft but colorful cherry blossom pink with an opaque cream finish

All super opaque and one coat is enough.

Arizona-a softened bright citrus orange with a muted cream finish
Tracie-a faded, yellow-toned pistachio green with delicate silvery shimmer for a frosted pearl finish
Wednesday-a faded dirty medium turquoise with green undertone and an opaque cream finish

Tracie needs two coats and is the one shimmer in the beach collection. Wednesday reminds me of mermaids tears from OPI. I love Arizona, a unique bright orange.

Surf:

Carly-a very rich, bold, red-toned dark purple with iridescent red and silver metallic shimmer and a dense foil finish
Kimber-a rich bright and saturated medium magenta pink with strong gold metallic shimmer and a foil-like finish
Rory-Medium mauve pink with lilac tones, gold and silver reflective metallic shimmer accents, and a foil-like finish

Love the finish on these, shimmery but more of a metallic shine. All super opaque.

Myrta-a warm medium orange coral with red undertone, gold and silver metallic shimmer, and a foil-like finish
Meg-a light yellow-toned mermaid green with heavy gold and silver metallic shimmer and a sparkling foil finish
Zuza-Deep, saturated, oceanic turquoise with gold and silver metallic shimmer and a foil-like finish

My favorite is Myrta, the color is perfect for summer and warmer skin tones.

Zoya Nail Polish in Trixie and Charisma Review

Zoya has these random deals all year round, this one was get two nail polishes for free and just pay for shipping. I actually ordered these nail polishes the 18th and they just came today. I really love Zoya and they are so good to their fans with these deals. Friend them on facebook or twitter for future steals.

Here's the ones I got:

Charisma is a neon color so it dries matte, I put a top coat on it for the swatch. I did three coats but two is fine. It's a fun color and would be great for your toes in the summer.

Trixie looks like liquid silver, not for everyone but I like out there colors. Two coats is opaque enough.

Let me know if you picked up any nail polishes during the sale :)
