Collection - Natural Satins

Colour - Nude/Purple/Grey

Topcoat - None

Leah by Zoya can be best described as a lavender tinged taupe cream in the exclusive Satin finish.  

I adore this polish, the photos are not showing colour accurate though :(

Leah is one of Zoya's weird multi-undertoned polishes, I dont know how they do it but this looks so different in different lights, it looks nude, purple and grey.  Great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats.

My swatch looks grey and the stamping looks brown/nude.

A Zoya A Day - Deidra

Hey

Today on the blog we meet Deidra

Brush used - Original
Does it stamp - No

Name - Deidra

Year - 2000

Number - ZP0193

Coats - 2

Finish - Metallic

Collection - Classic

Colour - Nude/Purple

Topcoat - None

Deidra is a discontinued polish from Zoya, its a purple toned nude with strong golden shimmer. This has a great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats. I was going to put this with my purples but when I did it looked far too nude/brown. This is a really pretty polish and one I wish Zoya would bring back. It reminds me of Faye and Daul both of whom I own and you'll see later.

On the weekend I decided I wanted something bright! Well I think we can say I achieved that, I did two coats of PoP Polish Lemon Zest a creamy pale yellow, I then stamped with Sunlight also from PoP Polish. I used plates BM-XL201 & BM-XL04 both from Hello Maniology, with my Clear Jelly Stamper Big Bling stamper. My topcoat is Barry M Plumpy topcoat as it doesnt smear stamping.

Dont mind the messy paint joy of just Lemon Zest, I knew I was stamping over the top and could do clean up at the end.

This is a stunner I love the purple undertone on this, opaque in one sweet coat, perfect formula, no running or pooling. Stamps well too.

I think once we get to the browns I might take the weekends off, I'm falling behind on getting to do nail art while wearing all these nudes.

Right now I'm doing a neon yellow mani, which I'll post tomoro for you along side the next nude :)

Jill by Zoya can be best described as a lighter mauve cream nude in the classic 2-coat coverage formula. Well they say 2, I say one coat on my short nails, maybe if my nails were longer I'd need two. Gorgeous formula, no running or pooling.

The other photos are of the lamp I use to paint my nails with and take my photos under, its an LED one my hubs got me for Christmas as I was struggling to see to paint my nails, I'm visually impaired with sight in one eye only.  The lamp has a dimmer switch on it so you can change the brightness. Yes my desk is messy :) 

The last pics are some of my flowers, I love the orange/pink ones :)

Do excuse the state of my nails, I have to wear an ankle support while running and its quite difficult to get on as its very tight, I broke my middle finger nail on my left hand even though my nails are very short.

Colour - Nude

Topcoat - None

Jack by Zoya can best be described as a full coverage nude cream, perfect to match your morning latte. This has a gorgeous formula, opaque in two coats, no running or pooling. 

You'll notice I've put 2018 next to the collection name, thats because Zoya already had a Sunshine collection from 2011, I'm not sure why they choose to reuse a collection name.

I'm off outside now as its nice and sunny :) 

A Zoya A Day - McKenna

Hey friends

Happy Sunday

Today on the blog we meet McKenna

Available on the UK website - No (out of stock?)
Brush used - Original
Does it stamp - Yes

Name - McKenna

Year - 2017

Number - ZP0904

Coats - 2

Finish - Pearl

Collection - Sophisticates

Colour - Nude

Topcoat - None

McKenna by Zoya can be best described as a refined pearl in a soft almond. I'm not sure I'd call this a pearl finish, its much less pearl than Brizia from the other day, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats.  I'd say this is a hair warmer in tone than Taylor from yesterday. This stamps slightly better as well.

I am enjoying doing this series as I have added a column to my excel spreadsheet to confirm if a Zoya stamps (yes I am that nerdy when it comes to my Zoya), I once tried some proper stamping polish and when I went to do clean up it just smeared all over and I was using acetone to remove it as well, no thanks, I'll stick with regular polish for stamping. I use the Clear Jelly Stamper Big Bling stamper, its great.

Taylor by Zoya can be best described as a full-coverage, light toffee cream, This has a great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two sweet coats.  As you can see this does stamp but it doesnt show up really well? I have one more from the naturel collection to share, Odette is in the pink section.

More Ellie pics coz she's so cute, got the crazy eyed stare this morning :) 

A Zoya A Day - Brizia

Hey

Happy Friday, the weekend is almost here.

Today on the blog lets meet Brizia

Available on USA website - No

Available on the UK website - Yes
Brush used - Z Wide (white Dot)
Does it stamp - Yes

Name - Brizia

Year - 2004

Number - ZP0278

Coats - 2

Finish - Metallic

Collection - Suede

Colour - Nude

Topcoat - None

Brizia is a discontinued polish and can be best described as a soft taupe-kissed mauve with very light brown and lavender tones and frosty silver shimmer, this is Zoya's own description. I'd call it a pinky nude with purple undertones and silver shimmer.

This has a gorgeous formula opaque in two sweet coats, no running or pooling. I own all but one of this collection, I'm missing Charlize. This does show brush strokes as you can see so I switched out to the z wide brush to make them less annoying and as straight as possible.

Its very hard to get good photos of black cats, but here is Obi in his catio on his new high shelf and Obi and Ellie together in my hubs office window.

Name - Rue

Year - 2014

Number - ZP0706

Coats - 2

Finish - Cream

Collection - Naturel

Colour - Nude

Topcoat - None

Rue by Zoya can be best described as full-coverage, boudoir blush cream, not sure what a boudoir blush is but I'd call Rue a dusty purple toned nude. This has a perfect formula, opaque in two coats with no running or pooling, I think if you did a thick enough coat you could get this to be a one coater. This is a fan favourite as it looks great on all skin tones. Could Ellie be any cuter :)
