Tilda by Zoya can be best described as a warm mantis green cream that is a great alternative to a summer lime.

Opal is the last of the Fleck Effect set, this is the green/blue version, I did two coats over my bare nails, I switched out the brush to the Z Wide, this has a great formula, no running or pooling, this will never get opaque. I probably should have painted my nails an under colour but my brain isnt quite working this morning.

Tilda is gorgeous, a bright mid-toned green, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, Tilda also stamps well.

Collection - Fleck Effect

Colour - Blue

Topcoat - No

Maisie is a discontinued polish from Zoya but can be described as a blue jelly base with green to blue to golden flakies.

Well Eradani is gorgeous! this could be a one coater in time, it was almost opaque in one coat, I had a couple of tiny bald spots so this is two coats. Great formula, no running or pooling, this dries dull so you'll want a top coat to get that shiny look.

Maisie is one of the Fleck effect polishes, this is a jelly polish with blue/green shifting flakies, for their time these were so unique, this has a good formula, no running or pooling but quite sheer, I did two coats over the black and white and three coats over my bare nails, I own all three polishes from the Fleck Effect set.

I got the Brew Dog/Lone Wolf GinVent Calendar again this year, Ellie was most interested, she didnt get closer than she was here though.

Amazing Zoya Nail Mail

A few days ago someone from the Zoya Group on facebook posted about a website that had quite a few older discontinued Zoya so of course I had a look and I am super happy with what I managed to grab.

So I managed to pick up Maisie the last of the glass fleck polishes from 2012.
Elsie is from the original classic collection Zoya brought out in the early 2000's.
Amber is also from the original classic collection as is Raine, they also reused the name Rayne in the Delights collection from spring 2105.
Willow is from the Re-Cher-che collection from possibly spring 2006, I also own Caresse, Arielle and Fawne.

So Left or Right above we have Maisie, Elise, Amber, Raine and Willow :) 

Left to Right above are Maisie, Opal and the second use of Chloe :) these are the Fleck Effect polishes from 2012.

Left to Right Buffy, Angel and Willow, I am a big Buffy The Vampire Slayer fan so just had to have Willow when I already had Buffy and Angel :)
