Zoya Rikki

Hi, you guys! Yay it's the weekend! Hope everyone is having a great one! :-)

Today, I want to wrap up the Zoya Irresistible Summer 2013 Collection with the last of the three foils in the six-piece collection. Rikki is a cool-toned forest green with tons of gold and silver shimmers in a foil finish.

This is a gorgeous green, and the foil-y finish goes really well with the color. Formula-wise, it's just as we have come to expect from Zoya's foils. It's pigmented but still thin and smooth, achieving total coverage in two coats and making application a breeze. Zoya's foils always have fantastic staying-power on my nails, lasting five to seven days before I start to see signs of wear.

Now that I have gone through the whole collection, I have to say that I'm really pleased with it. I'm always a huge fan of Zoya's summer collections, and this one is no exception. No one does foils like Zoya, so the three foil finishes of the collection—Bobbi, Hazel, and Rikki—are my favorites, with Bobbi being the must-have. I'd love to know what you think of this collection. What are you favorites? And will any be making it home with you?

You can find Rikki on Zoya.com for $8 for 0.5 fl oz. If you are new to Zoya, you can get your first two bottles of Zoya for $8 - $9 total and free shipping! More info HERE.

Zoya Hazel

Hi you guys! Hope your week is going along nicely. Mine's flying by with this being a short week. Sometimes that's a good thing, but then the end of the week comes along and I realize I haven't gotten anything done lol.

Today I've got another of the foils from the Zoya Irresistible Summer 2013 Collection to share with you. Hazel is an icy blue with tons of silver and a dash of gold shimmers, all in a foil finish.

Hazel is a bit more muted and not nearly as bright as the other colors in this collection. It's understated in a way that makes it elegant for summer, but I think I'll also be wearing this color quite a bit in the winter. This is another one in the collection that is a true foil (like those in the Zoya Surf Collection of last year), and so it possesses all the positive qualities of one. It's smooth and wonderfully pigmented, opaque in just two quick coats. Remember that with this finish, the polish tends to dry a little faster, so be quick with your coats and don't go over the same area too many times.

You can find Hazel on Zoya.com for $8 for 0.5 fl oz. If you are new to Zoya, you can get your first two bottles of Zoya for $8 - $9 total and free shipping! More info HERE.

Zoya Bobbi

Hi you guys! Hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was pretty awesome. I relaxed, got tons of sleep, caught up with friends, ate delicious food (one of my friends cooked for us) and also not-so-delicious food (buffet... need I say more?). I even managed to get some chores and swatching done. :-)

Today, I've got my favorite and the first of three actual "foils" from the Zoya Irresistible Summer 2013 Collection to share with you. Bobbi is a medium magenta pink with tons of silver shimmers in a foil finish.

Bobbi is the one that immediately caught my eye when I first got the collection. It's exactly the sort of color I love for summer - bold, vibrant, and happy. And I'm totally digging the foil finish. It's smooth and even, and so pigmented that you can get away with just one coat if you're feeling lazy, though I did the standard two for the swatches for extra depth and richness of color. I love the formula and finish from last summer's Zoya Surf Collection, so I'm really happy to see Zoya put out more colors this year with the same formula and finish.

You can find Bobbi on Zoya.com for $8 for 0.5 fl oz. If you are new to Zoya, you can get your first two bottles of Zoya for $8 - $9 total and free shipping! More info HERE.

Zoya Tinsley

Hi you guys! I'm a little late with today's post, but here it is finally. I'm off work for the holiday, so I'm having a super lazy day and it's hard to get anything done at faster than a snail's pace lol. :-)

Today, I've got another sparkly shade from the Zoya Irresistible Summer 2013 Collection to share with you. Tinsley is a pink rose with tons of sparkly golden shimmers in a glass fleck finish.

Just like Kerry and Amy in this collection, this is another one that Zoya refers to as a foil, but it seems more like a glass fleck to me. The first coat is a little thin and sparse, but the second coat does a lot to fill in everything and reach great coverage. I stuck with two coats for the swatches and I'm happy with the coverage at that, but you can still see just a bit of the visible nail lines, so you may want a third coat if you prefer total opacity.

You can find Tinsley on Zoya.com for $8 for 0.5 fl oz. If you are new to Zoya, you can get your first two bottles of Zoya for $8 - $9 total and free shipping! More info HERE.

Zoya Amy

Hi you guys! Hope your weekend is off to a stellar start! :-)

I've got another sparkly number from the Zoya Irresistible Summer 2013 Collection to share with you today. Amy is a bright rich orange with tons of golden shimmers in a glass fleck finish.

The orange base leans a little red, while the golden shimmers help balance it out so that you end up with a lot of depth to this orange. Definitely a great one for the orange-lovers out there. :-) Amy is another one in the collection that Zoya calls a foil, but it reminds me of the glass fleck finishes in Zoya's Sunshine Collection. The first coat is a little on the sheer side, but the second coat does a nice job of filling everything in and reaching opacity.

You can find Amy on Zoya.com for $8 for 0.5 fl oz. If you are new to Zoya, you can get your first two bottles of Zoya for $8 - $9 total and free shipping! More info HERE.

Zoya Kerry

Hi you guys! :-) Happy Friday! I'm sooo excited cause it's a long weekend. Monday's my first paid holiday since the new year, and it couldn't have come at a better time. The stretch from January to May always seems unbearably long; work goes on at a crazy pace with dark depressing weather and no days off. The extra day of R & R is just what I need to recharge. :-) Do you guys have any plans for the long weekend?

Today, I'm kicking off the last of Zoya's summer collections and probably my favorite of the three (although that's hard to say with so many awesome colors lol). First up in the Zoya Irresistible Summer 2013 Collection is Kerry, a bright golden yellow with a glass fleck finish.

This color is so bright and sparkly, it makes me think that if you could bottle sunshine, it would probably look something like this. :-) In terms of its finish, even though Zoya calls this a foil, the finish seems more like their glass flecks (like those in the Sunshine Collection) than their foils (like those in the Surf Collection). The golden yellow shimmers are suspended in a mostly clear base. The first coat is quite thin and patchy, but the second coat fills in nicely and is what you see in the swatches. You may want a third coat depending on how totally opaque you like your coverage, but honestly, it's so sparkly that it's hard to see any unevenness, so that third coat is optional. :-)

You can find Kerry on Zoya.com for $8 for 0.5 fl oz. If you are new to Zoya, you can get your first two bottles of Zoya for $8 - $9 total and free shipping! More info HERE.
