It is currently available from Zoya though it will soon be retired.

Zoya A Day - January 9, 2015 - Rica

Zoya Rica

This polish is from the Summer 2011 Sunshine collection. 

The swatches are 3 coats with a SV topcoat. This polish is a little sheer. I think with 4 coats it would pull more pink and be fully opaque. The formula is a little thin.

This polish is still available from Zoya's website.

Zoya A Day - January 8, 2015 - Tomoko

Zoya Tomoko

Great formula. Perfect work appropriate. I'd wear this one to a job interview. If you don't love texture or its matte finish, add a glossy topcoat. Picture is of three coats with no topcoat.

Tomoko by Zoya can be best described as a romantic champagne silver with a matte, textured, sparkling metal finish.

Color Family - Grey

Zoya A Day - January 7, 2015 - Imogen

Zoya Imogen

This is a Magical Pixie Dust from the Winter 2014 Wishes collection.

It has somewhat of a jelly finish. Takes 3 coats to be opaque. Out of the three Wishes Pixies, this is the one I would pick first. Definitely most unique. It does not have a matte finish like many Pixies.

This polish is currently available from Zoya but is being discontinued.

Official Description:
