Looking Polished: Zoya Nail Polish in Reece

August 1, 2011

Zoya nail polish in Reece

This week, I’m feeling a bit more festive than usual.  So that kind of mood calls for a nail polish with a party attitude. Zoya in Reece, I’m looking at you. This shade spoke to me is because at first it appears to be a shiny rose shade color but when you take a second look you’ll notice tiny gold flecks giving this color what Zoya describes as  “Rose metallic duochrome”.

This warm Mauve shade is fairly opaque; the gold flecks are minimal making it office appropriate. In the bright light the color appears iridescent and the gold tone is a bit more visible. With indoor lighting the color is more of a metallic rose and the gold flecks appear pearlescent. I’m loving this shade right because it’s putting me in my happy place. 🙂

What color are you wearing on your nails this week?

Looking Polished: Zoya Nail Polish in Lo

June 25, 2011

Zoya nail polish in Lo

Pink is absolutely my favorite color. Now my favorite colors have changed thoughout time but I’ve always loved the sheer femininity and girliness that pink gives. So when I came across a bright pink polish called Lo on the Zoya website i decided to order it. Lo by Zoya Nail Polish is from the Gossip collection and it’s an intense, highly pigmented pink with coral undertones. In other words it’s the perfect pink summer shade.

Zoya nail polish bottle Lo If the name of the shade sounds familiar it’s because the color was named after Lo Bosworth from MTV’s Laguna Beach and The Hills.

Zoya nail polish lo swatchZoya nail polishes never disappoints as far as consistency and opacity. The colors are true to the shade in the bottle so you always know what you are getting.

What are your thoughts on Lo? Is is the perfect summer shade or would you pass on the pink?

Looking Polished: Zoya Nail Polish in Caitlin

June 1, 2011

Zoya nail polish bottle

Looking at my nails, I decided to change my nail polish to something a little more vibrant. So I opted for Zoya nail polish in Caitlin, from their Intimate Spring 2011 collection. I’m a subscriber to Birchbox so I received this shade as a part of my monthly package although I’d never actually worn the shade. The color is strikingly beautiful mix of muted lavender/gray with a touch of cornflower blue. Caitlin applies intensely opaque and dries to a cream finish.

I absolutely love that the color matches identically to the bottle. Sometimes colors like this appear pigmented but apply rather sheer to the nail bed. This shade is rich and luxurious, I love it! Would you wear Caitlin?
