Zoya A Day - January 5, 2015 - Elisa


Zoya Elisa


I had a really hard time capturing the faint golden shimmer in this one.

Pictures are three coats with SV topcoat. You can probably get away with 2 coats on this one. Lovely formula. Easy to apply.

This is a currently available polish from the 2012 Diva collection.

Zoya A Day - January 6, 2015 - Nyx

Zoya Nyx


This is from the Spring 2013 Pixie Dust collection.

It is a very delicate blue grey. This polish applies very smoothly. Great formula. I generally choose it when I need a fast mani with no cleanup needed.

These pictures are 3 coats with no top coat. You might be able to get away with two coats unless you have a free edge that's normally difficult to cover.

This polish is currently available from Zoya but being discontinued.
