Zoya Sunshine & Summertime - Tanzy

I had a wild need for orange nails so what other choice did I have...

Tanzy is an orange gold metallic duotone

3 coats to my opaque happy place

I added a little pink and gold leopard spot decal by request of my youngest

I love the application on these, it's closer to a glass fleck in application so very easy to work with

Yes I filed my nails a little....it's summer and I'm busy so this is an easy length

Zoya has really got me hooked on their bright fun metallics

Orange is not the best color on me but it's fun so who cares!

Zoya Sunshine & Summertime - Faye

Zoya...you made this one just for me didn't you?

Faye is a beautiful gilded purple with metallic sparks of copper and gold that shifts like crazy

This is 3 coats of nom

The formula is slightly thin but very easy to work with and very forgiving

Faye is a moody girl and she might be leaning toward a multiple personality, judging by her constantly

switching from soft and girly mauvey with copper shimmer to her bold purple base with exploding golden sparkle and then to a brownish shade with purple glint and gold and copper metal sparks.

This is a must have x100....trust me you need it!

Zoya Sunshine & Summertime - Rica

This one is from the Sunshine half of the Zoya Sunshine & Summertime collection.

The Sunshine set is 6 shimmery metallics

Zoya describes Rica as a shimmering Rose metallic

On me Rica is a metallic coral with strong orange to pink shift

See the pink/coral with the orange sparking through

This is not the best color for my skin but I'm going to wear it anyway because it's fab

Liquid Summer

So many beautiful colors in this one

this one shows more the "rose" tone

The last 3 pics are in shade

I used 3 coats and could have stopped at 2 but I'm special that way & I just wanted to see 3

Application was smooth and even with no issues to speak of.

I love the Sunshine set so much!

Zoya Mod Mattes with top coat - summer 2011 swatches

A few people have requested to see the Zoya Mod Mattes with top coat so I did some very quick skittles with Poshe top coat. I hope this helps!

Top to bottom: Lolly, Phoebe & Mitzi

Lolly, Phoebe & Mitzi all with one coat of Poshe'

I think these 3 girls are fabulous matte or shiny

Please pardon my parched paws....I've been working a lot and forgetting my lotion.

Zoya Mod Mattes Summer 2011- swatches & review

Zoya....have you been reading my mind?

Bright, bold, sassy and matte!

Phoebe & Mitzi

Phoebe- Sky blue with a teal shimmer that makes this gorgeous glowy matte look like matte teal sky

Mitzi- Neon lime green matte that just feels like fun in a bottle

I love these two and I love them even more together

Phoebe applies so perfectly, not like most mattes, smooth and even.

Mitzi applies like most mattes, fast and a little uneven but smooths well on the second coat.

This is my new "Happy" manicure!

Are you smiling yet?!

Lolly....oh Lolly, you are so pretty!

Lolly- A bright nearly neon Barbie Pink!

Unfortunately my antibiotics are making my skin mega oily so this looks very satin but it is very matte

I love this color and I love that it's matte

Zoya I could kiss you right on the lips for this Limited Edition collection!

*Muah*

You want these don't you.....you'll have to hop over to http://www.zoya.com/ I might have to buy a backup set!

Zoya Intimate collection- Jules

Jules is a sparkling champagne gold metallic

I wish I could wear gold better because this truly is a lovely color

This is 3 coats of Jules with Poshe' top coat

Application is very nice for a metallic, smooth, a little sheer but builds well.

Removal is so much easier than most metallics....it comes of as easily as a creme!

Zoya Intimate collection - Caitlin

First I have to say I apologize for the quality of the pictures in this post and in the coming Jules post.

These are the last swatches photographed with my old camera which was on it's last leg & you can see why I HAD to upgrade. The swatch colors are accurate although grainy/fuzzy and generally odd looking.

Caitlin is gorgeous!

Even a dying camera can't hide this perfect dusty, grayed purple creme!

This is 2 thin coats with Seche vite top coat

(Natural light)

Application is excellent, smooth and very even.

This is my new perfect purple creme!

Zoya Intimate Collection, Marley and her kitty

Marley is a sweet lilac creme with a touch of secret shimmer....

Did you meet Marley's kitty?

Mew just looked like she belonged with Marley

The formula is very good for a pastel, slightly streaky on the first coat but smooth and perfect with the second. The pigment is really great on this as well.

Zoya Gemma is so perfectly Green! Zoya Intimate collection

I have my new most favorite green ever!

Zoya Gemma...

Gemma is a gorgeous army green with a blue/violet shift

The shift cools it down just enough so that it is wearable for people like me who normally cannot wear warm greens or earthy shades.

This is 2 coats with Seche Vite top coat

I am loving this new collection!
