Coats - 1
Finish - Shimmer/Metallic
Collection - Enamoured

Eleanor can best be described as A dark cinnamon mahogany crushed velvet finish 2 coat formula.

Eleanor, what a polish, this reminds me of Faye and Daul with that very strong golden shimmer particle, Eleanor has a fantastic formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Eleanor also stamps very well and you can see that purple base. I did add matte topcoat to my left hand so I could see the velvet texture.

A Zoya A Day - Bailey

Hi Friends

Today I'm sharing my swatch and review of the wonderful Bailey.

Available on the website - Yes
Brush used - Original
Does it stamp - No
Name - Bailey
Year - 2005
Number - ZP0300
Coats - 2
Finish - Shimmer
Collection - Hugs N Kisses
Colour - Pale Nude
Topcoat - No

Bailey by Zoya can be best described as a light neutral beige with a beige tint. A sheer base with cool pink duochrome shimmer and sparkling silver microglitter.

This is the palest of pale beiges, this has a good formula, no running or pooling and I did two coats for my swatches, this is a your nails but better type of polish, I dont think this would get opaque on its own.  

The little sparkles give it a little extra pop. The shimmer was quite shy and didnt show up in my pics.  This also isnt a microglitter, theyre micro flakies, Bailey dries smooth and shouldnt be difficult to remove. Bailey will make a really cool topper.

I am missing Eva from this collection.

I purchased Tis from Nail Polish Direct here in the UK, they still have some older Zoya that are discontinued on the Zoya.com website.

How gorgeous is this colour, I do like a bright pink, this one is lush and I am surprised at the one coat coverage, Tia has a great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat. I am glad the shimmer in the bottle shows up on the nail too.

The promotional pic is not colour accurate at all.
