Zoya Sooki

Hello,

For this, I used Zoya Sooki which is a beautiful red cream and my go-to red nail polish.  It is bright and cool cherry red cream with a very subtle jelly finish. The formula of this polish is perfect and it is opaque in 2 coats. The dry time of this polish is average. Zoya Sooki came out in the summer of 20011 in Zoya's Summer Time Collection. Also, It is big 3 free.

Essie Sand Tropez

Hello,

Essie Sand Tropez is a beautiful sandy nude beige color. This polish is perfect for interviews or for your workplace. It is part of the Essie Spring 2011 French Affair collection.

To be honest this color looks kind of boring in the bottle. I initially brought it because I was getting it at a really good price and moreover I did not have a similar color in my collection. When I applied Essie Sand Tropez for the first time I was overwhelmed with the subtleness of the polish. It is perfect for the days when you want to take a break from your glitters and bright colors. It is a cream finish that goes on opaque in two coats. It has become my favorite nude now as it gives my hand a very neat look.

Zoya Julieanne

Hello,

Today was my first day at campus. It was so hard waking up early in the morning after a long break. I am back in my apartment and already missing my family. I wish breaks could last forever :D. I will try to be more regular in updating posts now.

For this, I used Zoya Julieanne which is cool toned metallic purple. It has a dark blue-purple base with pink, yellow-green duochrome and pink being the most dominant duochrome. At some angles it looks like a dark purple base with pink sparkles. It is opaque in 2 coats but I used 3 thin costs to even it out.

Pretty Areej

Hello,

I wish the winter break can last forever as I am having such a good time with my family. I am really grateful to Zoya that they did the Flash Promo's before Christmas and I was able to grab Zoya Areej. It came out in the summer of 2011 in Zoya's Summertime Collection.

For this, I used Zoya Areej which is a cool muted fuchsia pink color. It is a cream finish that goes on opaque in one coat but I used two coats to even it out. The consistency is little bit on the thicker side but it is manageable.

The Perfect Green

Hello,

I knew I wanted this color as soon as Zoya released its Gems & Jewels collection for holidays (2011). I do not own many green polishes, so I was excited to add it into my collection. I was happy to see this polish in person, it was love at first sight. Holly is such a festive color, perfect for Christmas.

Zoya Holly is a perfect metallic green color with subtle yellow tones. It is opaque in one coat but I used two coats to even it out. I am assuming that Holly will be good for stamping too, not that I want to waste such a beautiful color for stamping.

I am including this close up picture to show how gorgeous Holly is and you can see the subtle yellow tones and its metallic finish here.

Finally! My First Blog.

Hello,

I am so excited to finally have my own nail blog. I have been following a couple of nail blogs recently and those ladies have greatly motivated me to start my own nail blog and show my passion or rather obsession with nail polish. It feels really weird writing this down when I know, I am the only one reading it, but I really hope that someday other nail polish lovers like me will read it too.

I will start with the nail polish that kind of started this obsession. It was by OPI called Por Favor. At first it looks like a cream, but there is subtle silver shimmer to it that makes it really beautiful. It goes on perfect with two coats. I used Seche Vite top coat.
