"Zoya Belle. Belle has a sheer grapefruit pink base and a good amount of iridescent pink shimmer. The shimmer shifts from pink to coral to yellow depending on the angle, and has some pretty gold flecks scattered throughout for even more color." Scrangie

"The (Zoya Gems and Jewels Collection) top coats are all very fun and a departure from what other salon and prestige brands have been doing and I like that Zoya took the guesswork out of layering by putting together a collection of shades that work well together."
"One thing worth noting about these (Zoya Gems and Jewels Collection) is that the glitter is extremely shiny. I was noticing how shiny it was when I was out in sunlight for some of the photos... They looked alive! Sparkling and twinkling all over the place. Very pretty. I like these glitters a lot."
"The (Zoya Gems and Jewels Collection)metallic colors are really nice and you get complete full coverage in just two coats. The glazes are a little less opaque since they don’t have a base color, but they are really jam-packed with colored glitter and holographic bar glitter."
Go ahead, go bare, being a nail polish nudist is so right now -Zoya is the New Color of Fashion
It seems everyone has been looking for full coverage nude nail polish lately and Zoya has delivered again. In fact, this collection was released a month early to meet the huge increased demand for quality nude or beige full coverage nail polish. With three metallic kissed nudes with yellow (Zoya Minka), red (Zoya Shay), and blue (Zoya Pandora) based undertones there is a coordinating nude for every skin tone!

"The intention of this collection is to provide the perfect opaque nude for each skin tone. These are like foundation shades; you pick the one that compliments the undertones in your skin. What's nice about these is you aren't necessarily trying to match your exact skin color (like the 'mannequin hands' manicure), just finding which nude meshes well with your skin, so the right shade can work on anyone from dark to fair skin colors."
"All three were surprisingly pigmented – Zoya really meant it when they said these were full coverage, because these were nearly opaque in one coat, but I used two for the swatches."
Zoya Nail Polish released new collections last week and the blogger reviews have started rolling in. See below for links to some of beauties best bloggers and their swatches/input on all the new Zoya collections for Summer 2011...
"This half of the collection (Zoya Sunshine) is definitely reminiscent of last year's Sparkle collection, I think the colors are beautiful, and even though I'm usually a diehard creme finish lover, the sparkle polishes take the cake in this collection, one hundred percent."
"The formula on these was great. Smooth and consistent, not too thick or thin and no difference in formula across the whole set. Opacity was great, too."
"All of these colors are so glowy. They're luminous. I really like how they look like they're glowing when you're wearing them. The colors are bright and cheery, and the cheeriness is only amplified by all that golden glow." Scrangie

"Let’s get down to brass tacks. Microglitter is one of my favorite nail polish finishes, and no one does it like Zoya."
As per usual her descriptions are like no other - make sure to visit her site to see all the gorgeous pictures and details of our new Zoya Flame Collection.
By the way Scrangie (and everyone), It's Sarah with an "H" - one of the warehouse fairies decided to drop the "H" during the first label printing ... but hey if you spell your name without the "H" now is the time to get "your" bottle :)
"Overall, this is a kick-ass collection. I crave sparkles. I love every single color and I'd wear them all. Obviously, Valerie is my favorite. These are nice winter shades, icy blue and festive red, but no reason at all you couldn't wear them year round. I think Tiffany is actually a nice beachy looking shade for summer. All the shades are packed with life and sparkle and magic and they make me want to stare at my fingertips all day. Distracting!"
Temptalia gives the overall collection an incredible review.
"The formula was even, smooth, and not too thick or thin. Everything applied with ease, and I didn’t have any trouble removing them. The glittery shades like Crystal may leave some glittery bits on your fingers, but it’s not at all like removing a large particle glitter polish. I used two coats on all six shades, but Lisa, Sara, and Valeriewere quite pigmented in just one. I found to get a smooth, even distribution of shimmer/glitter, two coats were optimal."
If you are looking for a reason to love Zoya Nail Polishcheck out this review by The NailPhile. Her lovely photographs capture the stunning collection in great detail.
"I'm quite a fan of them - I really like the colors, the finishes, and how they work together, and the polishes are easy to work with."
Scrangie breaks it down super simply and shows how convenient the Zoya Color Spoons are.
"I think this is an awesome idea for online polish shoppers and I wouldn't be surprised to see other companies 'borrowing' this idea in the future. It's way more useful than that completely inaccurate color picker with the photoshopped hand that you see on some other salon brand polish websites. You get to see the actual color, in person, against your very own skin."-Scrangie

So as I've said in my about me I found about Konad through a video on Youtube by Sayanythingbr00ke so here it is. These nails caught my attention because I absolutely love color and when I was young I was completely obsessed with Lisa Fank along with Hello Kitty which I haven't gotten over yet. So here it is Thanks Brooke!
After seeing this video I of course subscribed to her channel and watch every video from start to end if it has to do with nails and nail polish of course sorry Brooke not very big on makeup. In her videos she would comment about nails blog and different wesite to get the products she was using as well as where to get good deals. I then visited the sites she talked about and I now visit 2 blogs daily. Those 2 blogs are..... The Nailphile and Scrangie. I absolutely LOVE The Nailphile she reviews all kinds of nail polishes and is very descriptive of every aspect of the polish oh and cant forget she takes absolutely great pictures of her nails under sunlight and artificial light. The 2nd blogger is Scrangie she also reviews nail polishes as well as other nail and beauty products. If you ever wonder what a nail polish looks like out the bottle go to Scrangie and she probably has a great swatch for it. So if you like anyhting that has to do with nails you must visit 3 websites and they are:
Make sure to read the reviews - they are "glowing". To start, Vampy Varnish put the focus on Zoya Wicked. This stunning collection of foil, glass, metallic polishes really made her day - really, read the review - that girl is a true nail polish lover!
Next up surf over to Scrangies incredible, in depth descriptions of her swatches of both the Zoya Wicked and Wonderful collections. As always Scrangie provides details on each new color like no other.
There are 300 plus Zoya Nail Polish colors. So it's understandable that you might become overwhelmed when trying to find the colors that are right for you, but never fear there are lots of bloggers out there to help you! Recently many bloggers have been posting Zoya swatches to help people pick out the colors they want for the Zoya Polish Exchange, but you can use this wonderful resource to help you at anytime. Here are three blogs that have stepped up their game,
Proving once again that Zoya is the New Color of Fashion and ahead of the curve... nail polish blogs Scrangie and All Lacquered Up recently reviewed the Zoya Flash Collection for Summer 2010 AKA the freshest look in nail color - bold but not neon, fruity but not pastel.
" So... they're not quite neon but they're not pastel either. I'm glad to see that they didn't go with the flow and to the neon/pastel route! I've really been into my pastels lately but I'm very happy to see something fresh."
"Flash, the second summer collection from Zoyais a set of six glossy cremes that feel very candy-ish. Like a companion set to one of my fave Zoya collections, Candy, from a few summers ago. Couldn’t you just see all those shades as big glossy jawbreakers in a candy machine? " All Lacquered Up
"What makes the Sparkle collection stand out amongst other colors in this genre is the pigmentation. The problem with glitter polishes is that if the base gets too thick with pigment, the glitter fades to the background or leaves you with a chunky, bumpy mess. So it’s a fine balance and Zoya has definitely toed the line."
"Overall, AWESOME!!! GLITTER!!!! It's like Zoya has been spying on all of us and seeing how excited we get about colorful glitters. I love seeing glitters in bold, vibrant colors. These definitely fit the bill for bold and vibrant! And they're uber-sparkly. I'd even say they're more sparkly than the winter Ultra-Glitters. I'm a happy camper." Scrangie
The Reverie collection from Zoya Nail Polish is gaining momentum as the must have color collection for Spring 2010.
Scrangie likes it, she really likes it! Scrangie just posted swatches and color review on our latest Zoya Nail Polish collection - Reverie.... yippeeeeeeee
"Overall, I think this is a really fascinating collection (Zoya Reverie)." "Adina. Medium lavender-purple base with green, pink, orange, silver and gold duochrome. My favorite of the collection. This is a true duochrome (and by duochrome I mean 'multichrome') where the colors change depending on the angle."
Zoya Nail Polish made a guest appearance in a great fall nail color beauty segment on a Morning show earlier this week. Later that day, Scrangie provided swatches galore to help viewers decide just what beautiful color they wanted for the limited time offer* made on the show. * promo offer has expired
Make sure to check this out for a great review of the color and application tips.
"Overall, I'm totally thrilled with this collection. I am starting to get bored with mattes, to tell you the truth, but as soon as I saw these... WOW. There are other mattes? What other mattes? These are THE mattes. The best shades, the best finish. I don't usually like to declare things 'the best' because I love everything, but really... For me, these blow the other mattes out of the water. They're my favorite colors- how could I not love them? Green and purple in a matte shimmer finish... " Scrangie
Matte nail color is all the rage this year for sure!
Make sure to make a blog crawl to nail bloggers Scrangie and All Lacquered Up this week. Both have posted informative reviews with lovely swatches on the new Limited Edition Zoya MatteVelvets (Loredana, Dovima and Posh).
Visit Scrangie's blog this week to see her review of the Zoya Color Lock System! This system is designed to keep your nail polish wearing longer for up to a week. Take a look at her photos from day 1 to day 7 to see how the Color Lock System prevents chipping and keeps your manicure fresh. There are plenty of great tips on how to keep your nail polish in place.
To keep your manicure or pedicure looking perfect first clean and prep the nails with Remove+.Next apply 1 coat of Zoya'sAnchor base coat. Let dry then follow with 2 coats of your favorite Zoya Nail Polish shade (Scrangie picked Roxy, a purple with magenta glitter sparkles.) After your nail polish has dried for a few minutes apply 1 coat of Zoya's Armor top coat. Finish with Zoya's Hurry Up Drops to speed your nail polish drying time and enhances the color vibrancy.
Zoya's sizzlin' new summer 2009 nail polish collections just recieved a rave review from top beauty blogger, Scrangie.
...on ZOYALa-Di-da..."The formula on these is excellent as usual. Smooth, not too runny or too thick, no bubbles, no streaks. Pretty much perfect."
"Overall, I'm thrilled with this collection! Midori and Tallulah are amazing. Emme and Ginessa seem a little out of place with the other bold, bright colors in this collection. Ginessa is really cool, I wouldn't replace it if I had the choice."
__ __
...on ZOYAOoh-La-La... "The formula on these was awesome. Not a single one of these polishes gave me trouble. They practically applied themselves. Pippa was a little bit streaky on the first coat, but that is to be expected of a yellow creme polish. Another upside to the neon formula is that they dry almost instantly. Even the non-neons dried quickly. No complaints at all."
The Limited Edition trio, exclusive to www.birchbox.com consists of three citrusy shades - Zoya Belle (Inspired by Capitol Hill Style), Zoya Coraline (inspired by Eleventh Gorgeous) and Zoya Kate (inspired by The Small Things blog). Layer them or wear alone for a sheer wash of buildable ultra glossy color, like lip gloss for your nails!
