Zoya Monica & Jamberry Shield

My good friend, Bonnie, had a Jamberry party online a few weeks ago.  I decided to check it out since I love nail art, and why not give it a shot.  Since I can't wear crazy polish to work, but can usually get away with an accent nail, only using two per manicure makes it easier to swallow the cost of Jamberry shields. Application instructions were easy to follow.  Of course I couldn't leave them as is, so I added a few little rhinestones to give it a little extra pop followed by a clear top coat.  The purple color in the pattern seemed to match up pretty well with Zoya Monica.  Monica is a super smooth purple creme, opaque in just two coats.

So far so good with the Jamberry nail shields, but we'll see how long they last on me.  I am pretty rough on my nails so wish me luck!

Zoya Neve

Zoya Neve is from the Fall 2013 Cashmere and Satins collection.  In only 2 coats, there is a deep metallic blue with a slight tinge of purple.  Can you see the flecks of red and blue!  The application was very smooth, and no visible brush marks were apparent.  This is two coats of Neve, topped with a single coat of Zoya Armor.

Zoya Marina

Zoya Marina was part of the 2011 Fall Smoke and Mirrors collection. For me, it was the perfect icy blue and grey frost.   Seems to be an appropriate color for today, given that it is snowing outside and this tone fits right in.  Application was easy, just watch out for the brush strokes!  This is 2 coats of Zoya Marina, followed by a single coat of nubar Diamont.

Zoya Lael

A few people have asked me to continue with the swatching, so the next few are ones that I have saved up.  This is Zoya Lael, a deep plum cream that is so easy to wear.  Application was a complete breeze, and was opaque is 2 coats.  This is 2 coats of Zoya Lael, follow by a topcoat of nubar Diamont.

Zoya Fei Fei

Part of the Fall 2012 collection, Zoya Fei Fei is a spectacular color.  It is hard to describe this color, but I will try!  Fei Fei is a steel blue foil with a slight violet twist.  Complimenting the base color are flecks of gold, blue, and pink sparkles.  For being as packed with foil, it really has a smooth finish.  This is two coats of Zoya Fei Fei followed by a single coat of nubar Diamont.

Color Club Blue Heaven

Another fun holo!  So I can't really get away with wearing these to work during the week, so as soon as Friday came around I couldn't wait anymore.  This is Color Club Blue Heaven, a very colorful holographic polish.  I was really impressed with the easy application and smooth finish.  This was three thin coats of Blue Heaven, followed by a single coat of nubar Diamont.

deborah lippmann Cleopatra in New York

Another polish from my friend, Meghan!  This is deborah lippmann's Cleopatra in New York.  It is multi-size gold glitter suspended in a black jelly.  The black jelly is opaque enough to wear alone, but I bet would look great over a solid black base coat as well.  This was 3 coats of Cleopatra in New York, and I love the layered look it gives the glitter.  Thanks Meghan!!

Zoya Hope & Zoya Electra

Zoya Hope might just be my favorite Zoya purple.  It is such a standout in that color family with the blue and red flecks that run throughout the formula.  Hope is a rich, darker violet purple with a bit of shimmer.  The formula is fantastic, it goes on so smooth with little visible brushstrokes.  This is 3 thin coats of Zoya Hope, follow by a single coat of nubar Diamont.

And for a little added fun, I added Zoya Electra as an accent.  What a fun manicure!  I couldn't stop staring at my nails all day!

Zoya Aurora

Well, when Zoya does holos they aren't kidding around.  I almost did order Aurora, but when I got Blaze and Storm I knew I had to have it.  Zoya's photos online of Aurora don't look great, they really don't do it justice.  This is 2 coats of Zoya Aurora, followed by a single coat of Zoya Armor.  I love of Aurora dries to a relatively smooth finish.

A great Zoya combo, Zoya Aurora and Zoya Frida

Wowza, would you just look at that!  I am always trying new layering combination, especially with the three Zoya jellies Frida, Paloma and Katherine.  They all seem to have such a smooth glossy finish, they make any polish look deep.  I decided to throw two coats of Frida over 2 coats of Aurora and got this fantastic look.  It still had the great holographic fleck but the color really changed to a great purple.  I can't wait to try more combinations!
