I hemmed and hawed about this one for a while after the Wicked promo pics came out - I like purples, but they're not my 100% absolute favorite polish to color unless they're a duochrome or holographic, and I already have several (both from Zoya and from China Glaze). Still, once...

One coat gets me a nice semisheer color. Two coats is almost opaque…but not quite. Three coats gives me totally even coverage and full opacity. I like the foilesque finish, and I really like the colors of the three polishes I got from the Flame collection; but I don't...

This color is semisheer at a single coat - you could probably use it to add a wash of fuchsia-red and a little bit of shimmer. Two coats gives me a near-foil finish, some visible glitter, and a deeper red…that's still a bit fuchsia-ish. This truly is a “deep...

Zoya’s Tiffany

Zoya’s Tiffany

Tiffany is a peach-pink, accent on the peach, with gold foil sparkle. I was really hoping for good results from this color, because I loved Zoya's other microglitters (<a href=”/such/obsessive/addictions/zoyas_magique_collection/”>Magique</a> collection, primarily) and I had been looking for a good...

Supposedly this is a duochrome color…but I'm not seeing it. It's definitely an orange-brown, with hints of gold shimmer. It looked more like a creme than a metallic (which Zoya's site claims it is) or anything with glitter or even microglitter. Compared to Anastasia and Evangeline, the two other...

Zoya’s Crystal

Zoya’s Crystal

Posted on Tuesday, at

A very lovely lighter/brighter, almost spring-y blue foil laced with gold glitter-particles. Full opacity and even coverage in two coats. This was the first color I bought from the Flame collection, because while I had blue polishes, I didn't have any that were this exact shade of blue. This...

The purple is not a deep purple, like you might expect from the bottle-photos on Zoya's site. At two coats (full opacity and color depth), it looks like the sun through a plum skin, not the blue-black that plums sometimes actually are. This is also definitely a warm purple -...

Discovered over on Evil Angel's site: apparently, this Friday December 10th, Zoya's going to spoon with everyone (well…everyone in the continental US.) They're giving away 6 free color spoons - and not only will you get your six color spoons, you'll get the credit toward a future purchase. That's $3 (fifty...

If you're searching the net looking for the Fire and Ice collection from winter 2010...you've found it. Zoya changed the name of this collection shortly after its release. I'm not 100% sure why that is; but I can make a guess: this collection contained only six colors. Usually, when Zoya releases...

Zoya’s Magique collection

Zoya’s Magique collection

Posted on Monday, at

Summer and fall 2010, everyone was going ape over Zoya’s microglitter polishes…but were people aware that Zoya has several microglitters already in their lineup? The Magique collection was released a while ago, and these don’t have the widespread appeal that some of Zoya’s other colors have (like...
