Zoya Faye

 Hello everyone,

How you've been doing? Me... oh it's hard being on a vacation ;D (not)!
Sorry for the long blogging pause, but I've had some very busy days lately.

Today I'd like to show you the last of the Zoya Sunshine collection polish I've purchased, and it's a wonder! So beautiful and sparky! The application was very smooth, not problem at all and it's opaque in two coats.
The base is a lavender purple with lot of sparkling gold shimmer inside!

So, here I'm wearing 2 coats of Zoya Faye, not top coat:

What was you favourite polish from this collection? For me... I think it was Reva followed by Faye, then Apple and Tanzy.

Thank you so much for watching!

See ya soon!
Hugs everyone!

Zoya Tanzy

Hello everyone!

Hope you've had a great week-end! Me, ok, but not exceptional, only a barbecue with friends today, I've just arrived home and it's late... so, this will be a quicky quicky post..;).
So today I'll be showing you Zoya Tanzy, from the Sunshine Collections (summer 2011).
This is a very nice and shiny colour. It has a sheer orange jelly base which with lots of gold shimmer inside. The effect of these two together is quite nice, very summer-ish and sparky. I like it a lot!
I had no issues with the application, but I needed 3 coats for full opacity. The drying time is excellent!

So here I'm wearing 3 coats of Zoya Tanzy, no top coat:

Just a little experience with my white crackle on top (it's Burst Crackle #8 Blizzard):

I find the combination quite funny to look at ;)

I've also been tagged with an award by Kristyn from Paint That Nail - thank you so much, Kristyn! - that is so nice of her! I'll be doing the award post properly tomorrow, because now it's very late and I'm working tomorrow early in the morning...

Have a nice week!
See ya!
Big hugs everyone!

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 Apple

Hello everyone!

 This is the 1st of the 3 Zoyas I've purchased from the Sunshine Collection 2011. Actually there should have been 4... But the guys from nailtec thought I may not really need Zoya Faye.. so they've sent me something else! I'll tell you about it in a next post, when I'll show you what they've sent me.

So, for now, this is Zoya Apple! Very nice sparky and joyful colour! Quite sheer, so I needed 3 coats to get it opaque, but it has a good formula, so it applies and layers very well, no problem with that ;)
It is actually a sheer mint green base with lots and lots of gold shimmer. I love it!

So here I'm wearing 3 coats of Zoya Apple, no top coat:

And because i was home these days, I thought why not try some stuff with these new polishes... So I've decided to put a (half) coat of Zoya Tanzy over the tips, in order to obtain a degradé.

And, in the end, painted my tips with Zoya Reva. The problem was that Reva is more pigmented and opaque than Apple and Tanzy, so the degradé was ruined. Anyhow, looks like African colours, so.. why not ;) It is still joyfull ;P

Thank you for reading, my dearest! Have a nice Sunday !
See ya soon!
Hugs!
