My first Zoya polishes!!

I’m not sure if you guys know this, but I didn’t really get into nail polish until last year.  It might seem like it’s been longer because of how quickly my collection grew, but it’s really only been a year.  I’ve worn quite a few brands over the course of this year, beauty supply, drugstore and high end brands, but one of the ones that I never wore was Zoya.  I don’t know why I never took advantage of their sales until last month, but I’m happy I finally did.  Their polishes are absolutely AMAZING!!  I’ve been lemming a few of their shades and had a hard time choosing which 2 I wanted last month for their ‘2 free polishes’ promo.  I ended up choosing ‘Laney’ and ‘Jules’ and I’m happy with my choices.  My nail polish collection wasn’t exactly overflowing with neutral colors and that’s exactly what I needed. 

Zoya describes ‘Laney’ as “Silver metallic duochrome. A frosty hint of green creates a unique “oil-slick” look.”  I couldn’t have put that better myself.  Now I normally wouldn’t say that silver is a neutral color, but this one is definitely a neutral color on me.  It’s not as bold as the other silvers I have, Orly’s ‘Shine’ & Rimmel’s ‘Shine On’.  The duochrome is definitely visible too.  I actually wore this in a half-moon mani last weekend, but didn’t photography it.  I’m going to have to do a swatch of it soon though. 

‘Jules’ is beautiful, absolutely beautiful.  Zoya describes it as “A sparkling neutral light taupe with gold, silver and champagne metallic shimmer. A new modern metallic that gives an ultra-luxe look.”  It’s a beautiful soft color on me, and I think it looked more gold than anything against my skin.  A few golds have found their way into my collection recently, but Jules is definitely one of a kind.  I wore this last week and did take a picture of it.  Check it out.
 
How gorgeous is that?!  
Zoya’s run about $8 a bottle, but I bought these 2 with their promotion so they were free and all I had to do was pay $6.95 for shipping.  I would definitely fork over the $8 for them though.  The formula is great and these 2 shades were opaque with 2 coats.  I’m currently lemming for ‘Skylar’, but have been banned from buying another bottle of nail polish until I wear every color in my collection (maybe more than once according to my friend Ryan).  Zoya is one of the brands that’s naming it’s colors after women’s names.  I think it’s cute and might eventually get ‘Jasmine’…eventhough that’s not how mine name is spelled.  It’s a beautiful wine colored shimmer with pink & brown undertones.  Oh yes!!
