A Zoya A Day - Capri

Hi Friends 

Today on the blog I'm sharing my swatch and manicure of the gorgeous Capri.

Available on the website - Yes
Brush used - Z Wide
Name - Capri
Year - 2025
Number - ZP1230
Does it stamp - Yes
Coats - 1
Finish - Cream
Collection - Tutti Frutti
Colour - Blue/Green/Turquoise 
Topcoat - No/Yes

Capri is described as a playful seafoam green cream that brings poolside cool to your summer nails.

Capris is such an interesting colour, looking at it on its own you think blue, but put her next to a blue and the green undertone pops.  This absolutely does not photograph colour accurately either.

First pic is one coat of Capri, then I added one coat each of Fancy Gloss Cuentos Arabes and one of Aguas Frescas alternating the middle fingers on both hands, I then stamped with Zoya Boo for a hidden when warm stamping manicure. Aguas Frescas has a lower requirement for its warm state than Cuentos Arabes.

A Zoya A Day - Kismet

Hi Friends

Today I'm sharing my swatch of the gorgeous Kismet.

Available on the website - Yes (February only)
Brush used - Z Wide.
Name - Kismet
Year - 2025
Number - ZP1250
Does it stamp - Yes
Coats - 1
Finish - Cream
Collection - Polish of the Month
Colour - Pink/Red
Topcoat - No

Kismet is a sophisticated, deep blushed berry, whispering of red, like the deepest blush of a rich, velvety rose petal. 

Oddly Zoya have this colour listed as in the red spectrum, I would say it has a red base but it is definitely a pink in my opinion.

Kismet has a fantastic formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, she also stamps nicely.

I also got my Naturel 6 order today, a quick note to say I will be doing swatch posts, however, I am not sure about doing a comparison post because these are not glitters as Zoya calls them, they are in fact teeny tiny little pink and gold flakies, so while I might have colours to compare Zoya does not have any other flakies polishes like these. Let me know if you want a colour comparison post.

I am going to test out the little extras from my order, they are the rescue serum and the repair base from the Gelli-Cure line, I have had a real issue with the middle nail on my left hand, I cannot get it to grow past the free edge without breaking, I'm wearing a false nail today for this swatch.

How pretty and bright is Tucker, this is a gorgeous shade of blue, absolutely fabulous formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Tucker also stamps well.

Dita is quite a chameleon shade, she doesnt really want to photograph colour accurately. Dita has an outstanding formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Dita also stamps.  The dark daylight picture is colour aceturate, this is not a super bright shade.

Ondine is another deep vampy purple, this dries with a semi matte finish, I'm guessing due to the neon pigment used, Ondine has a great formula, no running or pooling and I did two coats for my manicure, it wasnt quite the colour in the bottle with one coat. Ondine also stamps well.

This weekends manicure is a base of two coats of Fancy Gloss Vamped a red (cold) to grey (hot) thermal, I then stamped with Box of Whine with places Dixie Plates Christmas 2020 and Moyra 117 Wintertale, lastly I put a coat of Wikkid Polish Star Dust over my index and pinkie fingers..  I had to cut my nails down as I broke a couple.
