My Collection, Swatched: Zoya Mitzi (Day 4)

Mitzi is a matte yellow-green color from the Mod Mattes collection.  The color is almost a lime green and the formula is okay, not the best, I had patches, but the nail polish was too thick.  The color is so unique and different and looks great as a matte.  I had to use three coats for the pictures below.  Just a note, this color stains really bad, even with base coat.  Even with all that, I love the color, so I can deal with the other issues! 

This is indoors, no flash.  Sorry about the awful application on the index finger, ugh!

And then I applied a top coat, this is indoors without flash.

My Collection, Swatched: Zoya Lolly (Day 3)

Lolly is a hot pink matte color from the Mod Matte collection.  The formula on this is good, similar to the Matte Velvet collection finishes as this is a matte velvet.  These colors do not have the same "shimmer" that the original collection had (see post on Harlow).  The color is not unique, but the matte formula makes it different, it has a softer finish.

My Collection, Swatched: Zoya Phoebe (Day 2)

Happy 4th of July to everyone in the U.S.A.!  Hope you enjoy the holiday and see some amazing fireworks.  This will be my daughter's first Independence Day celebration, so I have an outfit picked out for her-can't wait to take some pictures.


Today I have another matte color for you!  This is Zoya Phoebe, also from the Mod Mattes collection, but unfortunately, I do not see this on the Zoya site anymore :( I picked a blue for today in honor of the holiday. 

The formula on this was good, I only needed 2 coats, the second to cover some patchiness.  The color is so great, a bright aqua blue.  The shimmer that runs through this gives it that velvet finish again, and it somehow makes this color glow.  I love it!  Again, this one does stain pretty badly, but so worth it.

My Collection, Swatched: Zoya Harlow (Day 1)

Harlow is a matte finish polish from the MatteVelvet collection.  It is a dark purple/burgandy color.  The finish on this is interesting, similar to the OPI suedes, in that it is not quite matte, and also has a bit of shimmer running through.  The formula on this one is good for a matte color, it covers opaquely in two coats. 

This is indoors, with flash.  You can see the tiny silver shimmer that adds something extra to this color.  The finish is awesome.

This is outdoors, no flash.

26 Days of Zoya!

Hello readers

Starting today, I will be posting swatches of all my Zoyas.  Zoya is one of my top 3 favorites, if not my favorite, brand of nail polish.  I love the colors, the formula, the bottles, and the names.  If only they would name one after me, that would be awesome . . . :)  Be on the lookout for my posts and tell me what you think.

P.S. If you all can recommend any other colors, I would really appreciate it!  I will be ordering more from them soon, and I want to know which colors you all like the best.
