Zoya Zuza Swatches & Review

Zoya Zuza Swatches & ReviewZoya Zuza from the Beach & Surf Summer Collection was one of the first colours I immediately took note of.

Aside from true greens, this is what I consider to be my ‘comfort polish’.

This aquamarine is pretty in the bottle, but it’s equally beautiful on the nail, too! No trickery here!

If you like turquoise nail polish, I highly recommend you get this.

It has a terrific formula, a colour that I think is flattering on the majority of skin tones, and the finish is great for concealing ridges and nail imperfections.

Zoya Myrta Swatches & Review

Zoya Myrta Swatches & ReviewZoya Myrta is like the bright, citrus smell that permeates a room when someone peels a tangerine. No, it doesn’t smell like the fruit, but it makes me think of that vibrancy and energy.

(This was actually the very first colour I wore when I received the Zoya Beach & Surf Summer 2012 Collection!)

I don’t often feature orange nail polish on here because, well, I don’t have too many. But I’ve been straying out of my comfort zone more and more.

Zoya Myrta is a really fun colour that I think is great for the summer because it’s warm and sunny. But I can also see how this would be a great pick in October for Hallowe’en.

Zoya Wednesday Swatches, Review & Comparison

Zoya Wednesday Swatches & ReviewIt’s Wednesday! Happy Hump Day!

You may have heard of a nail-polish group online called “On Wednesdays We Wear Pink”. Hehe, well, how about wearing Zoya Wednesday on Wednesdays? ;) I think it’s a great way to celebrate the middle of the week.

Aqua nail polishes like Zoya Wednesday are always a treat to wear. They’re flattering on so many different skin tones, and I find myself reaching for them often when the mercury rises.

Do you have a particular colour that you reach for more in the spring and summer?

Nail Art: Zoya Skittle Manicure Using 4 Colours from the Zoya Beach & Surf Summer 2012 Collection

Zoya Surf & Beach 2012 Collection Skittle Manicure SwatchesFrom the minute I first saw the colours from the Zoya Beach & Surf Summer 2012 Collection all lined up and pretty, an idea for a skittle manicure came to mind. (I used Zoya Reagan, Lara, Shelby, and Arizona!)

You’ll remember that I previously did a neon skittle manicure and loved the way it turned out. So I had to try more skittle nails!

I have a tough time pulling off pinks, but with the gradient effect, it seems to work.

Okay, maybe you’re thinking, “That orange looks out of place.” Instead of accenting my ring finger (aka my candy-corn-shaped nail), the baby finger and my thumb got the royal treatment.

As you know, I don’t usually wear pink nail polish (unless it’s neon, of course), and the orange made it more wearable for me…probably because it’s an unexpected touch. (Plus my pinkie finger is such a rebellious little guy.) ;)

It hit me – if you use just the pink polishes for your skittle manicure, you could totally rock this in October for Breast Cancer Awareness!

Zoya Yasmeen Swatches & Review

Zoya Yasmeen Swatches & ReviewAfter wearing the neon skittle manicure, a contrast was needed. Zoya Yasmeen fit the bill with a seductive rich purple full of intoxicating shimmer.

I’ve had this beauty in my stash for years, and it’s fine time that I showed it off. This is a pretty hue that’s a staple for any purple polish lover!

Zoya Yasmeen is vampy, which may make you think more of the fall and winter. But I tend to wear whatever colour I want regardless of the season, and this certainly filled the void for a dark hue that I was craving so badly. :)
