Pretty, pretty color. Love the result. Getting it on the nail isn't as easy. The formula was goopey and thick. I got some bubbles on the left hand, too. Zoya and bubbles seems to be a reoccurring theme for me.

This polish was just eh. It just has that mauve-grandma look. It has a subtle green flash in it, but not enough to make it exciting.

I love this polish. The photos never seem to do it justice. It has a depth to it. This is 3 coats. I have recently discovered that Poshe quick dry works a heck of a lot better, than Seche Vitae, on Zoya. SV never seems to dry Zoya.

I put on 2 coats of Jo, but it seemed so plain with Last Friday Night sitting on my vanity. I had just received Hologram Hexagrams and it wanted to play, too. I think the result was awesome!

Now that I see the pictures, this looks a heck of a lot like Orly Plum Noir! I love these sorts of colors. Its a fair bit darker than I expected based on the bottle and color drops. It looks quite vampy on me, almost black, but definitely not black.

...threw up on my nails.

I was still feeling blue and thought something blingy might cheer me up.

I posted a few pictures in various lighting since it appears so different in each light. In shade or artifical dim lighting the Mrs Claus is very prominent. Almost looking like pink glitter.

This is one of the few manicures my mother has noticed and complimented. Perhaps she notices most of them and keeps her thoughts to herself usually. Hmm

Love this polish. Its more like a ballet slipper beige-pink than the photo. Close to RBL Plie. I like this polish, because it isn't as sheer as some pale Zoya colors. Very pleased this one.

I thought Valerie would be more purple than it is. Really, its more of a wine color than a purple. This photo might lean a little more red than it really is. My other photo leans more purple than it really is. So somewhere in the middle.

This photo is much more color accurate. You can see the hidden shimmer if you look close. A really pretty color.

This photo is not very color accurate, but it shows the hidden shimmer of Jacy, which sadly was difficult to observe on the nail.

Gradient Mani

I have never received so many compliments on a manicure in one day! Customers were telling me all day how much they liked it.

I did this gradient mani last night. It was easy and fun. I used ChG Frostbite as a base. I added Zoya Ivanka first at the cuticle end, then put OPI DS Magic on the tips, then I used SH HD DVD in the middle to blend them together with the help of a little Orly Smudge Fixer. The smudge fixer smooths and blends the colors together.

I am loving these new foil-glitter polishes. Zoya's Sparkle Collection, OPI's Summer Flutter Collection, and Sally Hansen HD Ultra all have polishes with this awesome finish.

Zoya Mimi over Rea

Zoya Mimi over Rea, originally uploaded by kennasmomma.

I had put on Rea, which is a metallic plum. It was just a wee bit too pink for me, so I jazzed it up with a couple coats of Mimi. It is gorgeous! Most Zoya polish is gorgeous... if only it didn't resist drying. Perhaps its all the great chemical solvents they leave out to make it safer. I do wish I loved Zoya polish more, cuz I have bunches of it.
