Dacey is gorgeous, this looks amazing on hands and toes, its bright but not super in your face, perfect formula, no running or pooling and opaquer in one sweet coat and she stamps.

Lo is also stunning, I love the coral undertone in this, another great colour for toes, perfect formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, also stamps.

We have actual sunshine today so the sun shots arnt great. I've just noticed that the ZP numbers on the promotion are not what the bottles say, theyre plus one my Audrina is number ZP438 and so on, I wonder why the promotion didnt use number ZP440... as thats now Lo's number, bottle number ZP437 was used for Penelope from the Blissful collection. That's interesting, Zoya also never used bottle number ZP1000 as far as I can tell either.

A Zoya A Day - Kiki and Starla

Hey Friends

Today on the blog we meet Kiki and Starla

Available on USA website - Yes

Name - Kiki
Year - 2006

Coats - 2

Collection - Glitterati
Colour - Pink
Topcoat - No

Kiki by Zoya can be best described as a vivid hot pink with strong blue-violet duochrome and flecks of silver shimmer

Available on USA website - Yes

Brush used - Original
Does it stamp - No
Name - Starla
Year - 2006
Number - ZP0328
Coats - 3
Finish - Metallic
Collection - Glitterati
Colour - Pink
Topcoat - No

Starla by Zoya can be best described as a vivid nearly-neon purple with strong pink tones accented by silver microglitter. 

Weirdly while they call Starla a nearly neon purple the colour family they list is pink...having looked at swatches  I think my Starla has faded, if I remember this was a destash purchase.

Kiki is absolutely stunning, one of my favourite pinks, that blue/violet shimmer gives it that little something extra, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats.

Starla is also gorgeous but sheer, good formula no running or pooling, I did three coats, I'd use this more as a topper.

In a weird coincidence two ladies in the Zoya facebook group mentioned both Kiki and Starla as good pinks, now here I am showing them together.

I own all of the Glitterati collection except Lindsay, I've seen swatches and its even more sheer than Starla.

Hayden is a gorgeous shimmery pink, it has a blue/violet flash thats a bit shy, good formula, no running or pooling, sheer so I did three coats and its just about opaque. I'd use Hayden as a topper.

Lola she was a show girl, sorry, every time I see or hear the name Lola I just think of the Barry Manilow song, Lola also has a blue/violet flash, good formula, no running or pooling, sheer, I did three coats and its just about opaque.  I also put a coat of Hayden over Lola on my ring finger.

A comparison between Lola and Tobey, as you can see Tobey is lighter then Lola and without that blue/violet shimmer.

Tobey is a very bright neon pink, I have a z wide brush to help with application, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats. I think my Tobey has faded a little in colour since I got it. I didnt notice the fuzzy until after I'd taken the pics, oy vey!.

Jenna is so pretty, she's dusty and very blue toned, fantastic formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat. I love the tone of this pink. Jenna also stamps nicely.

Zooey is a pixie dust, this has such a peachy undertone, I've worn this with a pink to peach gradient and it looked fantastic, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats.

My weekend mani was from Ard As Nails a UK indie brand who released a collection of multi-chromes, I wore Orchid Bee on my right hand and Bamboo Viper on my left, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, these are so shifty my pics do not do them justice at all.

Bonus pics of Ellie and Obi, Ellie was looking so pretty lounging on the bed yesterday and Obi, well we decided to watch a movie last night and I got snuggled under my blanket and Obi hopped up onto my lap, I then put the blanket over him as he flopped out on my lap and he stayed under the blanket for most of the 2 and a half hour film, we watched Star Trek The Motion Picture, I dont recommend unless you love Star Trek and dont mind a rambling mess of a film.
