Zoya - Happi

 




This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is a thin brush but good to paint with. This is a gorgeous pink with a golden/greeny shimmer. Lasted really well.

Zoya Stassi



This is easy to use, easy to apply and kinda slow drying (about 7 minutes a coat). It's a really pretty green with different iridescent glitters. I really liked this colour and it lasted well.

Zoya Harper

I could not resist getting the Bubbly collection from Zoya! I caved in last week and got all 6! This is the first one I decided to try.



This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (3 minutes a coat). It is very lovely and I love all the sparkles and the glitter and the shimmer! Some of the little glitters are iridescent too :-D The brush is excellent and gives good coverage. This is such a pretty polish and I cannot wait to try the others! Lasted really well. My only grumble about this is the removal - nightmare! Even with the foil method, I let it soak for at least 1-2 minutes and I still had little glitter particles on my nails! I just scraped them off.

Zoya Sunshine

This is the other polish I received from Elanor at Elanor's Nail in the swap we did a few weeks ago. I also got Ruby Wing Strawberry Shortcake which I blogged about last week!



This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 2 minutes for a coat). The formula is quite thick but easy to use. It's a pretty blue textured polish with some sparkles! I think it's really lovely and I think I need more of these hehe ;-). Lasted really well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It drifts between green and blue, you can just about make it out in the last pic above the watermark. Lasted well and is absolutely gorgeous, couldn't stop looking at my nails!

Zoya Gwin

Yah another one from the Zoya Reverie Collection. This is an orange colour with a golden shimmer.


All artificial light.


All above 2 coats.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. The brush is pretty good and the lid is nice to hold. It's sort of orange with a golden shimmer and a wee bit of green, not that you can really tell from my pics (soz). I'd say it reminds me of a sunset orange. Lasted well. Like it.

7 out of 10. Dear but worth it, eBay or online at a few places in the UK.

In natural light.


All above are 1 coat on top of Illamasqua's Smash.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. The brush rocks. It's gorgeous and changes from green to blue. It lasted well and I love it.

Zoya Lana

I had been after the Zoya Reverie collection for ages and finally had enough money to order it :-) This was the first one I tried and can't wait to try the others.

Hmmm I like that lovely shimmer :-)
In artificial light.
And in natural light.


All above are of 1 coat.

This is the first Zoya I've used and I love it. It's easy to use, easy to apply and the brush is excellent. The lid is easy to hold and feels comfortable. It's quick drying as well. I only used 1 coats as I was in a hurry, but I feel 2 coats would have been better *doh*. It's a pretty colour with a gorgeous golden shimmer, not quite iridescent tho! Very good quality and summery!

8 out of 10. Various places online at various prices, start saving if you want the set ;-)
