A Zoya A Day - Nidhi

Hi Friends

Today on the blog I'm sharing my swatch and review of the gorgeous Nidhi.

Available on the website - No
Brush used - Original
Name - Nidhi
Year - 2010
Number - ZP0511

Does it stamp - Yes

Coats - 2

Finish - Metallic
Collection - Sparkle

Colour - Red
Topcoat - No

Nidhi can be described as a bright red glitter with orange undertones.

I picked Nidhi up when Zoya did that 10 for $25 promotion in December and sadly it looks like they were clearing out old polishes as she is now discontinued.

Nidhi is gorgeous, she is not glitter though, the polish does not dry textured, so will not be difficult to remove, Nidhi has a good formula, no running or pooling and I did two coats for my manicure, I really like the orange undertone to this and the golden sparkle.  Nidhi also stamps well.

I now own the full Sparkle collection.

This is a comparison with Reva, you can see the lighter colour of Nidhi.

A Zoya A Day - Adara

Hi Friends

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

Available on the website - Yes
Brush used - Z Wide
Name - Adara
Year - 2023
Number - ZP1215

Does it stamp - Yes

Coats - 2
Finish - Micro Flakie
Collection - Magical

Colour - Blue
Topcoat - No

Adara can be described as a radiant lapis blue, where flecks of rose gold dance alongside twinkling blue glitters, creating a symphony of sparkle on your fingertips.

Thats quite the description but it kinda works, this polish is glorious, Adara has a great formula, no running or pooling and I did two coats for my manicure. Adara also stamps.

This was easy to remove as it is flakies and not glitters, this polish is very indie to me, I hope Zoya come out with more of these flakie delights.

Year - 2023
Number - ZP1195

Does it stamp - Yes

Coats - 2
Finish - Cream
Collection - Enamoured

Colour - Purple
Topcoat - No/Yes

Vera can be described as an enticing bright mulberry cream.

Vera is so pretty, a dusty purple, Vera has a good formula, no running or pooling and I did two coats, this dries super shiny, I then decided to stamp using Color Club Eternal Beauty using Whats Up Nails plates B022 and B035, I then used Barry M matte topcoat on the non-stamped nails and Barry M Plumpy over the stamping. I really like this matte.

A Zoya A Day - Vienna

Hi Friends

Today on the blog I'm sharing my swatch, review and comparison of the stunning Vienna.

Available on the website - Yes
Brush used - Z Wide
Name - Vienna
Year - 2023
Number - ZP1209

Does it stamp - No

Coats - One
Finish - Glitter
Collection - Polish of the Month

Colour - Gold
Topcoat - No

Vienna can be described as a brilliant gold metallic polish enriched with a mesmerizing blend of iridescent hex shimmer, irregular flakes, gold and iridescent micro shimmer, and fine white pearl. 

First up a comparison

Left to right Vienna, Cindy, Nahla, Levi and Polaris, no dupes, Cindy looks close in the bottle but its a sheer topper as is Nahla, Levi is a different tone of gold, a dusty vibe and Polaris is almost coppery in colour. Cindy is discontinued. The swatch sticks all have two coats each.

I did just one coat on my nails, this is gorgeous! its much more opaque than Cindy and friends. Great formula no running or pooling.

Ellie was looking super cute this morning.

A Zoya A Day - Bisoux

Hi Friends

Today on the blog I'm sharing my swatch and review of the glorious Bisoux. 

Available on the website - Yes
Brush used - Z Wide
Name - Bisoux
Year - 2023
Number - ZP1211

Does it stamp - No

Coats - 3
Finish - Glitter
Collection - Magical

Colour - Pink
Topcoat - No

Bisoux can be described as a delicate opal pink kissed with rose micro-flakes and a sprinkle of gold and holographic dazzle.

Bisoux is stunning, a very pale pink with a purple undertone with tons of sparkle, Bisoux has a good formula, no running or pooling, just sheer, so I did three coats for my swatches, there is a golden flash in the bottle that does show up on the nails. I am using Unt Ready for Takeoff basecoat.

A Zoya A Day - Cherri

Hi Friends

Well, that wasnt quite! the christmas I'd had planned, the Wednesday before my hubby broke up from work someone came into the office with covid :( so we've both been ill since approx the 20th December, sadly we're also still testing positive as of yesterday.  Very thankful it seems to be a mild version but Matt (hubby) has got a bad cough but is otherwise ok.

Today on the blog I'm sharing my swatch and review of the wonderful Cherri.

Available on the website - Yes
Brush used - Z Wide
Name - Cherri
Year - 2023
Number - ZP1213

Does it stamp - Yes

Coats - 2
Finish - Cream
Collection - Magical

Colour - Red
Topcoat - No/Yes

Cherri can be described as a rich blue-red cream, a classic shade that never ceases to captivate.

Cherri is a wonderful colour, a deep red that interestingly dries matte and much darker than in the bottle. Cherri has a great formula, no running or pooling and I did two coats for my manicure, I then decided on some snow flakes using Barry M Cotton and the Whats Up Nails plate A022 and Moyou Snow Collection 02 plates, then I used Barry M Plumpy topcoat, then a few days later Barry M Matte Topcoat.

Last couple of pics are some super warm slippers my mum got me for christmas and a fleece hoodie I'd picked up in October from Go Outdoors, its by the brand Peter Storm and I think this is a Celia hoodie, covid has broken my internal thermostat even more and I'm either freezing cold or super hot so the hoodie is off and on multiple times a day.
