Zoya's Kissy

My second worn Zoya is Kissy. This polish turned out to be a little too sheer for my taste.. so I layered it over one of my favorite red creams. This is.. Maybelline 'Salon Expert' Jazzy 510. It's a true red, no pink tones, no glitter.. a true red vamp it up shade. I mostly picked it to go with Kissy as any glitter or gleam will come from Kissy... Jazzy is a flat (but awesome) shade.

Kissy... is mostly a dark red glitter. But it has hot pink and holographic bar glitters too.. so it is nice and multi-tonal. Even in the mostly indirect "mood lighting" atmosphere of my home my eye is constantly caught by the changing gleams this polish shows off. I imagine this would make a kick arse clubbing or special occasion polish.

The no-flash image is very true to how this shade looks under normal lighting. It really does have that much play to it!

No flash. You can see how the different glitters lay and work together here.

Jazzy really helps bring out the candy apple red in Kissy. I am really curious to pair it with a pink or even a black matte shade to see if it pops as well as it does here.

I've worn Kissy now for 4 days. There are no chips, no tip wear.. nothing. Like most glitter polishes it seems to wear like iron. But.. like most glitter polishes... it is a bit rough to the touch. Two coats of top coat smoothed it out well. Still textured.. but not roughly so.

Zoya's Juleanne

I randomly picked which Zoya to wear first. Juleanne was the winner.

Flash

No flash.

I LOVED the color. It was a deep dark purple-blue in most lights and had a lovely glimmer of sparkle in it. I wasn't as pleased with the wear. It seemed to wear at the tips almost from the first day. It wasn't that noticeable.. but it was there. No real chipping.. just tip wear. Color made up for that though.

Got me some Zoya!

Most of my polish horde is of the cheapo drugstore ilk. I like it, I can pick up a bottle without making a special trek to the beauty supply stores..and it is cheap. I like cheap.Cheap means I can get more colors for the same money spent!

And so when I learned that Zoya was doing this deal that you could get two free bottles for the cost of shipping I was all over that like finger paints on a three year old.

My new lovelies.

 I got three. At one time I had well over 50 bucks worth of polish in my ecart....and I winnowed it down from there. That third bottle was both me rewarding the company for that deal.. and me really being unable to cut that last color.

I picked (Left to Right):
Juleanne ZP526
Jem ZP575
Kissy ZP578

I have Juleanne on right now.

Zoya is noted for its 'vegan' and safer, more natural formulations of polish. It is one of the first companies to remove toxic ingredients such as toluene, camphor, formaldehyde, and dibutyl phthalate from its formulas.

I can't comment on how 'long wearing' it is yet... as I have only worn the first color and for less then a week. I can say I have read that some of the colors really do best when used with their base and top coat. I used my own stuff.. and I knocked a big chip out mucking with my sewing machine.

I can say with complete honesty that the colors of the polishes I have are vibrant, LOVELY and not too thin so as to need a million coats.
