Alia by Zoya can be best described as a non-streaking, buildable, translucent plum jelly with an ultra glossy finish.

Name - Etta

Etta can best be described as a vampy cabernet with a hint of violet micro pearl.

Alia is really pretty, good formula, no running or pooling, as this is a jelly and wearable in different coat levels, I did two for my photos and there are three on my swatch stick.

Etta is a stunner, I love the browny flash undertone, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, Etta did stamp but probably best over a lighter colour.

Last pics are of my weekend mani, I did some hidden stamping over a pair of Fancy Glosses, on my left hand I had Cosmic Candy and my right hand was Purple Confetti both two coats each, then stamping with Zoya Iris over Cosmic Candy and Savita over Purple Confetti, they matched really well.

Cosmic Candy is a tri-thermal going from black (cold) periwinkle blue (warm) to pink (hot) jam packed with multi-coloured flakies.

Purple Confetti is a purple (cold) to white (hot) thermal also jam packed with flakies.

I wasnt able to post for a few days as I was fighting a bad migraine attack since Saturday, migraine finally left last night, abortives were not working neither were painkillers. I think the weather and pressure changes had a hand in this one.

Marjorie is a deep burgundy red with golden shimmer, this was opaque in two coats, gorgeous formula no running or pooling. Marjorie is discontinued and not available on Zoya.com or the  UK site, however, it its still listed on Nail Polish Direct site for £9.95

Alia is described as a translucent plum jelly with an ultra glossy finish and one of the jelly polishes Zoya has done the last few years, this took three coats but the formula was really good no running or pooling just sheer as you'd expect with a jelly, this will look amazing with stamping through the layers I think.

The bottom two pictures show all four of the fall reds I wore over the last two days :) all so pretty.
