A Zoya A Day - Chloe and Monet

Hey Friends

Well its the end of January already, can you believe it?.

Today on the blog we meet Chloe and Monet

Available on USA website - No

Year - 2012
Number - ZP0584
Coats - 2
Finish - Flakie

Chloe is a discontinued polish from Zoya, I would describe it as a pale pink base packed with multi-coloured flakie bits.

Available on USA website - Yes
Available on the UK website - No
Brush used - Original
Does it stamp - No
Name - Monet
Year - 2014
Number - ZP0726
Coats - 2
Finish - Special Effect Glitter

Monet by Zoya can be best described as a multi-coloured, cellophane holographic special effect topper.

Chloe is the second polish with that name that Zoya have done, we'll see the other Chloe soon as she is also a pink. This one has an ok formula, its a topper rather than a polish, it looks good over any colour, I've showed it over black so you can see the flakie colours better.  Its a tiny bit base heavy but if you use the dab and place method you should be good. The Fleck Effect collection is one of my favourites and Zoya didnt keep these polishes in their collection for very long before they were discontinued which is a real shame as they are stunning.

Monet is a another topper, this one is a pinky base with round glitter particles of multi-colours also. Again slightly base heavy so the dab and place method is good or you could sponge this on as well, it is glitter so its going to be a pain to remove if you dont use a peel off base coat of some kind.

The greasy marks are from a mat I was using in my helmers before deciding on doing wall shelves for the Zoya. I've also changed the mats I was using, I dont want greasy marks on my polish labels.
