Zoya Please, I'll Take Two

Just like every other polish-a-holic, I too ordered 2 free polishes from Zoya for a special promotion they had. I meant to make two or three more orders but I couldn't pick a color! After much debate, I settled on these two:

Bela from the Romantic Collection

Great suggestion from Vanessa, a soft nude pink.Very creamy, a little streaky on the first coat, but perfect with coat two.

Swatch via Vampy Varnish

Kennedy from the Feel Collection

A very opaque nude color, but more in the family of tans with a hint of lavender. 

Swatch via Miranda's Makeup and More

One of the items that came with my order is this awesome catalog of all the colors. I'm so super excited about it because I think it will help my next purchase easier to choose from. I always just worry about the truth to color shades when I browse online. The color on my personal computer is legit, but some websites are just crazy.

What colors did you order? I'm always looking for new colors, but always end up with pinks! My next Zoya order is definitely going to be something dark or bright.You can check out my original Zoya review here.

Product Review and Giveaway!

I was so excited to be contacted by Beauty of a Site for a product review and giveaway. They're an amazing online website where you can buy all of your beauty goodies for a great price and fast delivery. They carry a large range of brands, such as OPI, Essie, Tigi, Phyto, and more.

One product I was so excited to review is Macadamia Deep Repair Masque which I've heard about in a ton of blogs and magazines. It's for dry, damaged hair and since I curl and dye my hair, this product was perfect for me. One word that comes to mind about this product is WOW. Hello moisture!! This conditioner works almost instantly. My hair is so soft and feels just like it was recently cut, you know that fresh feeling when all the dead ends have been cut off? That's what this gem feels like! I was worried that the masque might be too heavy for my thin hair and might weigh it down, but it worked like a miracle without any flatness. Now, the price isn't too bad, but more than I usually spend on hair care, but it's worth every penny. I will definitely be re-purchasing this product.

Are you ready for the giveaway? Beauty of a Site is giving away one Zoya Holiday 2011 Jewels Trio. Zoya is an amazing polish, and lasts chip-free for up to 10 days! I've reviewed it before, check it out here, and have been swearing by it since. These colors are gorgeous and perfect for the holiday season.

Product Review: Zoya Nail Polish

Zoya Nail Polish- Barbie

 

Zoya Nail Polish- Tammy

Zoya Nail Polish-Emme

Each Zoya Polish ($7) shows the color with two coats of polish (no top coat)

From Erin at Everything According to Erin I found out about Zoya's Facebook Promotion and scored these three polishes! Thanks again Erin for the heads up!

From their site, Zoya Nail Polish:
- Is free of toluene, formaldehyde, DBP (phthalates) and camphor. (Did you know that a majority of polishes have that stuff in them? Gross!) 
-Offers over 300 gorgeous nail polish colors to choose from, plus 4 seasonal collections of nail polish every year.
-Zoya Nail Polish was specifically formulated to deliver the longest wear possible on natural nails.

This polish took a little bit long to dry, not the usual few minutes like SH or OPI, but this polish lasted FOREVER!! Even a full week later, I barely had any chipping, more just wear down from nail growth. I was completely aaaamazed! I've never had a polish last this long before!

The colors I chose looked a little different online than in real life and because it took a while for the polish to dry completely (30+ minutes for two coats for it to dry without any smudging when touched), I was ready to write them off. THEN, when I saw how long the polish lasted, I became a believer. At work I'm at a computer all day typing, so chips are expected, but after a solid week I had none! The colors are true to the bottle, Tammy color was a bit streaky but I blame that on the shade and not the product since the other colors I used didn't have that problem. Of the three colors, Barbie is hands down my favorite....no, it has nothing to do with the name.....why do you ask? I've had it on my toes for 3+ weeks and not a single chip and it hasn't faded. Awesome!

Overall, I'm a convert. SH is still one of my faves, but I loved how long Zoya polishes lasted, they're really worth the $$. I know some other bloggers also got the heads up on the promotion, and I'm so bummed that I missed out on the blue shade Ibiza, it's the perfect navy. I love it and need to add it to my ever-expanding collection.

Do you use Zoya polish? What are your favorite colors? Did you do the Facebook promotion? What colors did you get and are you happy with them?
