Zoya-Lara

Hi all, back once again from the fun of work, here with a pink shade today. Yes, even though I am a guy I can get away with wearing pink. :P

Anyhow, here's a look at Zoya's Lara. This is going to be a 2-3 coat polish depending on how thin or thick you go, but the application was very nice. I'm finally getting used to the Zoya brush, so application has become a lot easier, and their cremes in general are very nice and pigmented for the most part. Now the picture I have up top is a shot I took in more "natural" light, as this polish is in the Neon Pink kinda family, meaning it changes up depending on the lighting. Here's a pic I took with my camera's flash on:

As you can see, it changes up a lot in different lighting, which is why I took the plunge and picked this one up. It's a really great summer shade to wear before Fall/Winter kicks into full gear, so go pick it up!

Enjoy and Happy Polishing Peeps!

Zoya-Laney

For today's it's another shimmer shade, this time from Zoya, Laney. This is more along this lines of a traditional silver shimmer, which I absolutely adore as it's very gender-neutral, so I have a tendency to make silver shades my go to shades.

As with yesterday's Square Hue, how you paint your strokes is key. The Zoya brush is slightly harder to work with for me than the Square Hue, so there are a bit more noticeable strokes on my nails. It didn't help that I was in a hurry when swatching this, lol. The formula though is top notch, all nails were at 2 coats. If you're wanting a shade to break into Zoya with, this would be it.

Zoya-Dea

Here's the second of the Zoyas I got in, Dea. Not gonna lie, I always have a soft spot for brown shades. A lot of folks might complain that they are too safe and "granny" for them to wear, but that's okay, because I will happily wear them all.

Dea is along the lines of a Milk Chocolate brown, the formula was even better than Purity so I had no issues with this one. I did forget to say last time that the Zoya brush are more of a standard brush type, so as always, be careful on your thumbs.

Zoya-Purity

So I recently took advantage of a special that Zoya was holding where you could get 3 polishes for only the cost of shipping @ $12. Naturally I couldn't resist, so here we are with the first of those polishes, which is a creme white. Yup.

I should probably say most creme white polishes I have dealt with always have a problem with streakiness, and Purtiy was no exception. The reason why you see me showing off my nails in a odd angle than normal was due to me having to hide some of the imperfections I ran into during the swatching process as whites require a good deal of patience and time, and I didn't really have those on my side. I will say though that for a white, this formula was great, once I have the time to actually paint this on for normal wear, it will look fantastic.

Enjoy and Happy Polishing Peeps!
