Soko can be described as a classic, wintery Poinsettia-red cream.

Celi, pronounced Seely or Kelly, I think Kelly is correct, this is stunning, so pretty, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Celi also stamps and you can see the pink undertone she has, love the sparkles in this.

Soko isnt listed on the Zoya USA site, I'm guessing its just out of stock and not discontinued? gorgeous colour bright but deep, very close to the colour of a poinsettia plant, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, she also stamps nicely.

Its the May bank holiday and hubs has booked an extra day off, so I'm going to be back on Wednesday next week.

A Zoya A Day - Anthea and Milla

Hey Friends

Today on the blog we meet Anthea and Milla, goodness me what a couple of days, on Tuesday our oven broke, tripping the power, in doing that it broke my hubs computer that he uses to work from home. It took him all Tuesday night and most of Wednesday morning to fix, which he has done, we've also ordered a new oven.

Milla by Zoya can be best described as a beautiful bright coral-red shimmer with flecks of iridescent glitter.

Anthea is gorgeous, a sparkling bright red with a pink undertone, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats. I just wish the golden flash was more noticeable on the nail.

Milla is so pretty, all those golden flakies and an orange undertone, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats.

I picked up the Easy Neons and as you can see I switched out the caps, the white are nice but they would stick out horribly on the wall, so I pulled the white caps off and used the black ones, I had switched out certain polishes to the z wide brush to help the formula and kept all the original brushes, so I was able to reuse the caps.

I will hopefully be doing a review on the neons, I'm hoping to work on it over the weekend. I only own Pippa, Paz, Ali and Cana as Zoya neons but I'll still compare them.

A Zoya A Day - Marigold and Maxine

Marigold is stunning, this is quite an orange leaning red, I think the golden shimmer also pulls it more orange, fabulous formula, no running or pooling and opaquer in one sweet coat, Marigold also stamps.

Maxine is stunning, a red with a purple undertone so more a berry red, fabulous formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, this also stamps, you can see in the stamping the different undertones coming out.

A Zoya A Day - Molly and Lisa

Hey Friends

Today on the blog we meet Lisa and Molly, I had a very bad Sunday, I woke up with a horrible migraine and was extremely nauseous, hubs was wondering if I was going to even go get the jab and I said of course, when I have nausea I also get very bad motion sickness, thankfully the process was very quick and I was home again within 30 minutes. I went straight to bed to have a lie down and I had a very good kitty nurse maid in the form of Ellie.

Molly by Zoya can be best described as a non-streaking, buildable, translucent red/pink jelly with an ultra glossy finish.

Lisa 2 is a gorgeous deeper red with a purple undertone, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Lisa also stamps.

Molly is one of Zoya's jelly polishes, they have done jellies before but the formula was not great, I dont own any but I have read other bloggers reviews, I used the z wide brush and the formula was good, no running or pooling and I did two coats for my swatch pictures, if I had done a third this would have been fully opaque, this is a polish I want to try a pond mani with, were you paint a thin layer then stamp then add another thin layer than more stamping and a final layer. 

I've also shared a comparison of original Lisa on the left and new Lisa on the right, you can see that new Lisa is much darker in tone and has none of the sparkles of original Lisa.

Jasmine is a discontinued polish and I would describe her as a deep red metallic with a slight pink flash.

Ember is a stunner, bright red metallic, the perfect christmas ribbon colour, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, Ember also stamps.

Jasmine is her deeper vampy twin, a darker red metallic with a faint pink flash, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, this also stamps.

The last pics are of my weekend nails, decided to do some hidden stamping, my base is two coats of Fancy Gloss Prototype 3 2019, a deep mid pink when cold to bright lime green/yellow when hot thermal, I then used DRK Magic Garden plate and stamped with Zoya Briar, doing flowers, I use the Big Bling stamper from Clear Jelly Stamper which allows me to see where to stamp, I then added Barry M Matte topcoat. I really like using thermals to stamp with and stamp over as the mani looks different all the time with your body temperature.  I did have to dip my fingers in cold water to get the cold shots as I was having a warm day lol.

Lisa is a discontinued polish from Zoya, I would describe her as a vivid blue toned red metallic with tonal red sparkles, Zoya has reused this name recently but the new Lisa is a red cream, I will be showing her soon.

Aria is an unusual colour, its a pale red with an orange/brown undertone and a hint of pink, good formula, no running or pooling but quite sheer, I did three coats for my photos.

Lisa the original is stunning, this is a perfect holiday red, its a blue toned red with tones of red sparkle particles, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, I really wish they hadnt discontinued this one or reused the name.

Robbie can best be described as a fizzy raspberry punch with a gold fleck.

Everly is stunning, I love the Zoya scattered holos, they are just gorgeous, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats.

Robbie is also stunning, I like how Zoya are branching out with their finish descriptions, this would have been called metallic in their early days, I would also say this is a red with a pink undertone, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, this doesnt dry textured and wont be difficult to remove.
