Great Zoya Color - see it on YOU (no matter what your skin tone)!

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday, June 13, 2012


Reviews and Swatches of the Zoya Nail Polish Summer 2012 Beach and Surf Collections keep rolling in and we're LOVING how the colors look on all different skin tones. 

No matter what your complexion or ethnicity, you have to determine if you have cool (pink or blue), warm (yellow or golden) or neutral undertones to find which polish shades best compliment your combination. Then, check out the swatches below that are most similar!

Warm Undertones
If you are dark complected with warm undertones, see the full review from Haute Lacquer for a solid set of Zoya Beach and Surf Collection swatches. 



"Myrta is a bright coral, orange metallic foil. This is so citrus-y. This type of color works really well for dark skin tones. But of course, anyone can pull it off. I used three thin coats here."
Haute Lacquer






Makeup, Beauty and More and Makeup & Beauty Blog also have some amazing swatches for anyone with strong golden undertones and medium skin tone!


 

"Overall, Wednesday, Arizona and Tracie are my favorites from the Beach collection. These three colors are just perfect for spring/summer and have an amazing formula that's easy to work with."Makeup, Beauty and More





The swatches & review from Deuce Beauties will be helpful for anyone with a medium skin tone and warm-neutral undertones.

To see polish colors that compliment lighter complected ladies with warm undertones, take a look at the beautiful swatches from Makeup Withdrawal.




"Though Kimber is not a true foil it was unexpectedly my favorite shade, even though I'm not a pink girl! I also liked that unlike some other foils I own, which are overloaded on silvery bits and look very cool in tone (and sometimes not very flattering on me), Zoya used very vibrant colors (well, except for Carly) and only enough foil to make the shade very sparkly to view."

Cool Undertones
For dark complected skin with cool undertones visit Clumps of Mascara to check out her swatches of both the Beach & Surf Collections.







"I received an opaque finish after 2 coats for each polish. I think Zoya did an awesome job with this collection. There’s a little bit of something for everyone."

Captivating Claws has some kick butt swatches and a great review of the Zoya Beach Collection - perfect to find colors that compliment a medium skin tone with cool undertones.




"Hello Wednesday!!!!!!!!! I love this one!! It's simple, yet unique. Wednesday will go on my toes when I give myself a pedicure later this weekend. Zoya lists Wednesday as having a "warm" tone, but you can wear her if you're a "cool-toned" person, as I am."
Captivating Claws








Last but not least! If you have fair skin and a cool-neutral undertone to your skin, the The Polish Hideout swatches are for you!


"Arizona is a fresh orange, but slightly softened so that it is not too loud or bright. Unlike other recent Zoya colors where muted is also a bit dusty, Arizona is muted only and retains its clean color. It has soft peachy and coral undertones without leaning too warm. It is a color that calls to mind orange creamsicles and orange sherbet."

Going Nude with Zoya Nail Polish

Posted by Unknown on Thursday, August 11, 2011

Going Nude with Zoya Nail Polish
















It’s getting hot out there, so take off all your bright polishes. This summer, it’s all about the soft, the subtle, the universally flattering nude nail trend, and Zoya Nail Polish has it with the Touch Collection. This season, wear the trend and find your perfect nude nail polish in Minka, Shay, or Pandora.

It goes without saying that polite society frowns upon nakedness, but that’s not the case when nails are the nudists in question. The yin to a bright, breezy fabric’s yang, the peanut butter to a dramatic, smoky makeup look’s jelly, nuded nails serve to act as both balance and compliment to whatever clothing or makeup choice you put it up against. Make that nude nail polish slightly metallic, and baring all becomes both brilliant, and wearable.
Achieving the perfect shade of nude nail polish is much easier than you think. To take it all off, first you have to put it on. Take a look at your skin, and determine if you are predominantly cool, warm, or neutral. Once you have the 411 on your skin’s natural coloring, finding your perfect nude in Zoya’s Touch Collection is a snap. Pandora’s cool nude with blue undertones looks great on those of the chillier skin-tone, while Shay’s light peach makes it a truly universal nude with neutral to slightly warm reddish undertones. Warming up the nude nail party is Minka, with warm yellow undertones that looks hot (literally) on the warm skin-toned folks. Three shades, three new nude options, all found in Zoya’s Touch Collection, designed to help anyone take it all off (their nails) with ease.

Use nude nail polish to create elegant looking hands

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday, June 1, 2011

Zoya Nail Polish shares the secret to perfect looking hands and nails...
nude nail polish!
Zoya Touch Collection
soft, sensual, sexy!

Similar to the perfect pair of skin tone coordinating shoes which will lengthen and enhance the legs, the right shade of nude nail polish can visually extend the finger length to create a more elegant hand! The latest collection from Zoya Nail Polish, Touch, offers three full coverage beige nail polish shades to beautifully enhance any finger and nail shape. Not sheer at all - two coats will provide complete opaque nail color coverage. Gorgeous!


Each of the new Zoya Touch Collection trio of colors were designed by the color experts at Zoya to coordinate with yellow based, red based or blue based skin undertones to enhance the length of fingers and nails. Some call this look mannequin hands - Zoya calls it natural, and lovely! Nude polish works on both long and short nails and is widely known as "work appropriate" for fields that demand a more demure, groomed nail look.

Zoya Minka

Just as when selecting foundation the answer is obvious when you find the right one. We suggest ordering all three Zoya Color Spoons to find your perfect Zoya Touch Nail Polish color fit. The secret is in finding the nude nail polish shade that coordinates perfectly with each individuals unique skin tone. The lightness or darkness or the skin is not important, it's all about the undertone.

Watch this Zoya Color Expert Video Clip* for a demonstration of how to find your undertone or simply a white piece of paper up to the underside of the forearm. Look at the paper for a second and then look at the skin... What is the first color you see? Yellow, Red, Blue - the color you see is the dominant undertone. It's that easy (Hint: don't over think it or you will see them all - the goal of this to go with what you see first). *video is from a local TV broadcast a few seasons ago - coupon code mentioned is no longer valid.

Zoya Touch proves that less really can be more when selecting the perfect nude nail polish.
