A Zoya A Day - Sari

Hi Friends

Today I'm sharing my manicure and review of the lovely Sari.

Available on the website - Yes
Brush used - Z Wide
Name - Sari
Year - 2008
Number - ZP0276
Does it stamp - No
Coats - 2/3
Finish - Cream
Collection - Purity
Colour - Nude
Topcoat - No

Sari can be described as a sheer, peach milk nude.

I swatched out the brush for this polish, Sari has a good formula, no running or pooling, just sheer as she is a French manicure polish. I did three coats on my left hand and two on my right to show this might get to full opacity at four coats.

A Zoya A Day - Amber

Hey Friends

Today on the blog we meet Amber

Available on USA website - No
Available on the UK website - No
Brush used - Original
Does it stamp - No
Name - Amber
Year - 2000
Number - ZP0246
Coats - 3
Finish - Metallic
Collection - Classic
Colour - Gold
Topcoat - No

Amber is a discontinued polish and described as a soft gold frost metallic with strong amber-orange undertones and fine yellow gold shimmer.

This is such an interesting colour, its very orange toned but not enough to be kept with the oranges. Good formula, no running or pooling, just sheer and so I needed three coats.  This is still available on Nail Polish Direct in the UK.

A Zoya A Day - Brooklyn

 Hey friends

Today you get two posts!!

Today on the blog we meet Brooklyn

Available on USA website - Yes
Available on the UK website - No
Brush used - Original
Does it stamp - No
Name - Brooklyn
Year - 2014
Number - ZP0725
Coats - 3
Finish - Metallic
Collection - Awaken
Colour - Gold
Topcoat - No 

Brooklyn by Zoya can be best described as a full-coverage, white-gold shimmer metallic. 

Oddly in the colour family they list this as yellow not gold? This is another great neutral, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in 3 coats, if you didnt mind visible nail line you're good in 2 coats.  This does show brush strokes as you can see, you could always sponge on the last coat to avoid those.

A Zoya A Day - Gaia

Hey, Happy Friday

Anyone else thinking this month is never ending?

Today we have the lovely Gaia

Available on USA website - No
Available on the UK website - No
Brush used - original
Does it stamp - No

Name - Gaia
Year - 2008
Number - ZP0444
Coats - 3
Finish - Shimmer
Collection - Chit Chat
Colour - White
Topcoat - Zoya Armor

Gaia can be described as a pearl white shimmer with a strong golden flash, this wasnt runny or pooled but it was streaky, I think I'll grab a Z wide brush and try it again. It was also sheer, which I dont mind but the streaks were not good with the original brush. I put topcoat on to smooth it out.

Apparently I added some cat hair to my swatch as well, enjoy.
