A Zoya A Day - Norra

Hi Friends

Today on the blog I'm sharing my swatch and review of the stunning Norra.

Finish - Cream/Shimmer
Collection - Divas

Norra by Zoya can be best described as a deep, dramatic brown-toned oxblood. This vampy burgundy has barely-perceptible subtle, silver microshimmer that helps illuminate the colour on the nail.

This collection is not to be confused with a later collection called Diva without the *s*, this collection was inspired by musical divas, but due to copywrite the names had to be modified, hence two *r*'s in Norra, the other names were similarly changed to Areetha, Beyonnce, Christinna and Marry J. The only polish I dont own from this collection is Jessika.

Norra is a stunner, a really deep vampy red, that silver shimmer is very very shy, Norra has a great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, Norra also stamps.

I'm also sharing a mani I did last weekend, Norra is the last Zoya I have to share until the autumn/fall collection drops. Base was one coat of Fancy Gloss Fancy Rose then a coat of OPI Gleam On! then stamped with Virago Varnish Octoberfest and Beet Ice using plate Moyou 106 Picturesque.

Morgan by Zoya can be best described as a mid-tone pink with cool undertones. 

How gorgeous is Morgan, one of those bright but not neon pinks, a fantastic formula, no running or pooling and I did one coat for my manicure, Morgan also stamps well.

I've now been using the Qtica Nail Growth Stimulator since I purchased it in April this year and as you can see, its made a huge difference, I did also add in the Barry M Mani Hero Strengthen in June as well as my regular Zoya Anchor basecoat.  The pic below shows them in the order of use, first I do the Qtica then the Barry M then finally the Anchor, I only used the strengthener for the month of June, I'm re-starting it for August.
