Zoya Swatches Part 2

Here is part two of the swatches that I got from the Zoya Exchange. Enjoy!

Lexi - Meet Lexi, such a pretty color, a rosey/mauve almost metallic color with duochrome shimmer to it.

Mimi - here's a royal purple perfection with pinkish, purple micro glitter.

Nidhi - My favorite red of the haul. Pigmented red with gold micro glitter. I was able to achieve opacity in two coats.

Rea - As best described by Zoya, Rea is "a silvery, taupe-kissed mauve-purple in a metallic foil shimmer finish. An edgy purple steel shade that's unexpectedly gorgeous." 

Roxy - A purple base, red tone jelly with bright purple glitters. I love jellies and I love this color!

Trixie - a light metallic silver, shimmy foil finish. I got this one for konading. I haven't yet tried it for stamping but will sure let you all know how well it works.

Dovima - A matte black with silver shimmer. Something a little different for me; this is my first matte polish. I was definately not used to it as far as application goes because it dried super fast. Otherwise, I like the feel of matte on my nails and will definately buy more matte colors as they come along.

Overall, my experience with the Exchange was a breeze and I can't wait till they have another one! I loved all the colors I chose and I'm glad I got them as a start to my Zoya collection. I can't say much negativity on the quality of zoya polishes because they were great! IMO, zoya is now one of my fave brands of polishes. Thanks for looking!

Zoya Swatches Part 1

Finally! I got around to swatching all of my zoya from the Zoya Exchage they had a few months ago. Kinda late, I know, but at least it's here. Here are 8 out of the 15 that I got from the exchange.
 
Aria - Rose color with gold glass flecked sparkle.

Beyonnce - I got this one because of it's name regardless the color. Gotta love Beyonce! A bright coppery/bronzy reddish pink color. It was a fun color to wear.
 
Alegra- A bright pink fuchsia with pink glitters.

Bridgit - Beige, skintone with slight shimmer. This was a subtle nude color on me. It looked clean, like fresh manicure.


Charla - A medium bluish green/ teal sparkle. Such a pretty color! Removing this one was a pain! You're left with blue fingers!

Ivanka - A green with blue flash glitter. I don't think green is great on me, but I really liked this color.

Kotori - A black base with blue micro-fine glitter. A dark dusty blue color. I love this!
Thanks for looking! Stay tuned for part 2 of this haul.

Internet is down & Zoya polishes

Straight to the point, my Internet is not working properly and it's taking forever just to upload the photos for the giveaway. So...I'll try again later tonight or tomorrow (again) boo! I know right! Sorry about that. But on the other hand, guess what I got in the mail today?



My zoya polishes for the exchange. Woot woot!



Three boxes with 15 polishes. I think I'll be swatching these soon :) so there's a heads up for all of you who are zoya fans.



There you have it. Sorry about the photo quality. All I have is my phone for now. But I'm super stoked! Yay!

So, I promise to have the winner and those photos posted as soon as my Internet is up an running again. Thank God for iPhones =)
