Zoya Sooki

Hello everyone,

This is the 3^rd of the 4 polishes from the Zoya Summertime Collection 2011 I’ve purchased.

And it’s yet another perfect red! Zoya released this summer 2 truly perfect reds! A blue-based one (Sooki) and an orange-based one (Tamsen, swatched here)! And these are the best reds I have ever seen. If you are looking for a red, I can assure you that amongst these two, you’ll find you happiness! ;)

The formula is perfect, applies like butter, I haven’t seen the slightest streak while applying it! Though 2 coats were used here, a single one could do it if you are in a hurry. The finish is incredibly smooth and shiny!

I’m not going to add anything else, I’ll just let you enjoy the pictures:

Thank you for reading!

See ya soon!
Hugs!!!

Zoya Reva

+ COMPARISON VS. ZOYA SARAH

Hello everyone,

I was home today as this Monday in France is holiday. I planned to post a lot this weekend... but a little something happened to my computer which didn't allow its use whatsoever... I'll tell you more about it at the end of this post...

Fist of all, I'm going to show you Zoya Reva, from the Sunshine Collection (summer 2011).
This one has a very beautiful pink-red base - or maybe red-pink, beacuse it's however more red than pink, but you can definitely see the pink shade in it. Also, it is full of gold shimmer which gives it some golden and orange tones in some positions. This actually reminds me of a sunset!
It applies very well and you'll get full opacity with 2 coats.

Here I'm wearing 2 coats of Zoya Reva, no top coat:

When I fist saw Reva in real life I immediately thought about Sarah, a shade that Zoya released for the Holidays in 2010! OK, they are not dupes, that's for sure, but they have something familiar... (no, no, it's not beacuse they're both called Zoya! ;)):

 Here are the two together (Sarah on the right and Reva on the left):

They are both red pinks. But, Reva is more pink and a bit shearer than Sarah. Sarah's base is richer and more covering than Reva.
Also, what is flagrant is that Reva has golden shimmer and Sarah has fuchsia shimmer in it.
But the aspect on the nail and the type of shimmer (glass shimmer) is the same.

Sarah on the index and ring, and Reva on the middle and pinkie

In the end I like them both, they are definitely different, but just a bit! If you ask me, the big difference is the shimmer colour... Otherwise, I think that Zoya kinda repeats some successful polish formulas, changing them just a tad bit... the thing is that it's a little too soon guys, that's all ...

I also wanted to share with you the reason of the absence of posts on yesterday:

(yeah, it's a screen cable...)

And the guilty one for this... is.........

GHITZOU!!!!! Yeah, yeah, you! And don't give me that surprised face...!

And because today is holiday, I had to take the tout of the city to find a store opened today! But I did find one, so I paid 15 euros (22$) for one single cable... + the gas...
Ok, I love my bunny... :)

See ya soon!
Big hugs!!!

Zoya Tamsen

Hello everyone,

This is my 2nd Zoya I've purchased from the Summertime 2011 collection! And what a collection!
Now this is one of the most amazing cream red I've ever seen! The formula of this is just perfect! It can easily be a one coater, no streaks, no nothing. The finish is so luscious so shiny. Just perfect. 19/20, beacuse teh drying time is a bit long if you're putting on 2 coats.
The colour is an orange based red. Tomato red.I think this looks particularly good on light toned skins.

Here I'm wearing 2 coats of Zoya Tamsen, no top coat (the shine is amazing!).

 

And, for the fun.. just to illustrate what I was saying in the first part of the post... here it is! Tomato red!! ;D ;D

Perfect tomato red! :D

:P :P :P

Me, I love it.What about you?

Thank you for reading and thanks to all my followers, I'm really really glad you people are here and encouraging me with your every nice word!
Big hugs to you!!!

See ya!!
