neeka
Neeka is the first polish from Zoya's Smoke and Mirrors collection that I've actually tried on my nails and let me tell you, it is going to be a hard act to follow. Neeka is a gorgeously complex muted purple with golden shimmer. I am super in love with this polish and if I thought I'd ever actually finish a bottle I would have no doubts about getting a back up.

julieanne
Julieanne is probably one of the more well known shades that Zoya does and it's not difficult to see why. It's a stunning glittery/shimmery deep grape purple with a slight golden duo-chrome (which you can see in my bottle picture). It's just crazy gorgeous and I loved having it on my little stubby nails. x

easily edyta
I'm not sure what to say about Zoya's Edyta. It's a lovely complex deep green shimmer but unfortunatly this polish has taught me that I can't really pull off yellow greens. I find blue greens work a heck of a lot better for me. Looking back at these photos it doesn't seem too bad but honestly every time I looked down at my fingers while I was wearing this it was just so jarring. Edyta looked strangely odd on me...which makes me a little sad because it is rather pretty.

magically mira
Is there anything prettier then a true purple creme? Yeah, I didn't think so! I've said it before but Zoya do some damn fine creme polishes. I find they get much more credit for their dazzling production of glitter/shimmer type formulas (which deserve the credit because they are AMAZING!) but their cremes are just lovely. The cover well, they have a high gloss finish and they last quite a time on my lil' nails. Mira came out in the summer/sunshine collection...I can never recall off hand which side of the collection is which... It's nothing too unique but my gosh is it pretty. x

in the indigo
Indigo by Zoya is one of those polishes that doesn't receive quite as much attention as it should. Indigo is a dark navy shimmer with a sparse sprinkling of holographic glitter particles. It's just gorgeous. Inside it could almost pass for a creme. All you can notice is the odd bit of glitter here and there but outside the almost velvety shimmer really comes alive. It's just such a versatile pretty polish. I can't even tell you how long I spent starring at my nails while I was wearing this. All I know is I kept losing time and couldn't figure out why... hahaha

easy breezi
It's difficult for me to find a blue nail polish that i love not only in the bottle but on my nails but Breezi from Zoya's Summer collection is freakin' gorgeous! It's bright but dusty and just oh so pretty. It looks perfect in two coats and dries to a high gloss shine. Such an easy polish to work with. I just keep falling more and more in love with Zoya.

forever faye
Faye was the only polish from Zoya's Sunshine collection that I was really interested in. It almost has an antique feel to it in my opinion. It's a rustic purple/mauve base with very prominent golden shimmer but what I really like about it is that the shimmer isn't too yellow since I'm not much of a fan of yellow gold. This polish was a lot more understated then I was actually expecting it to be which I like as it turned out. V.pretty. Well worth a look if it hasn't already made it's way into your collection.

kym
On the hunt for my perfect red polish I came across Kym by Zoya. It's a dark shimmering red with a hint of copper brilliance. I am in love with this polish. It looks particularly lovely in artificial lighting for some odd reason. It's not what I'm looking for 'perfect' red wise but it's amazing none the less. This will be on my nails quite a bit this winter I feel.

kieko crazy
My god I love Zoya cremes! I always know I love them but it seems I never remember quite how much until I actually have one on my nails. This is Kieko from the creme half of the summer collection. If it looks a little familiar to you it's because it's actually pretty close to another Zoya polish I've posted on here, Demi. I'm pretty sure I would never have gotten both if I'd realised how similar they are but I think I'll be keeping both anyway since they are a little different...

carrie ann fan
Have to say I love Zoya. Their shimmery polishes are unlike anything else I've come across and their cremes apply like a dream and come in the loveliest shades. Carrie Ann is a shade that I probably wouldn't have come to on my own but am mighty glad to have in my collection all the same. There is something so beautiful about shimmery red nails and like I've said Zoya certainly know how to do shimmer. I was in the mood for something a little different when I was wearing this; however, so I went ahead and added a coat of Barry M's Pink Nail Effects and I love the way it turned out. The mix of shimmer and creme along with the contrast of pink and red really worked for me and I think this is a combination I'll be wearing again.




sorry for the blurry!

doting over demi with raspberry sparkle
Demi by Zoya from their Dare Collection is one of my all time favourite berry cremes. The coverage and application is lovely and the colour itself is just so beautiful and very unique to anything else I own. I know it's usually the Zoya shimmers that get the most attention but I love the creme colours equally as much. Do try out Demi, if you haven't already. x

phone call for caitlin
This is my third and currently last polish from the Zoya Intimate collection (although I'm strongly thinking about getting Jules as well...). Caitlin is a dusty grayed out purple and I love, love, love it. Works well with my skin tone and is girly but without being typical. I can see myself getting a lot of use out of this polish. What colours did you get from the Intimate collection?

decked out with dannii
Another colour from the Zoya Intimate Collection. Dannii is my first shimmery Zoya polish and oh my gosh! So beautiful! I love the formula and finish of this polish and the colour is just gorgeous! I have a huge list of Zoya polishes that I've been wanting for a while and this polish has just convinced me that I need to make an order sooner then I'd anticipated. So very lovely. x

wings of a dove
I have yet to find a gray nail polish that I don't like so it wasn't much of a surprise that I fell in love with Dove by Zoya. The formulation was lovely and it was opaque in 2 coats. Pale grays are just so flattering. I honestly can't have enough of them in my collection. Without a doubt a winner. x
