Patrice by Zoya can best be described as a neutral blush with a rainbow and gold micro-shimmer.

Both of these are stunning, Cadence is Zoya's scattered holo in a gorgeous deep pink, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, I own all their scattered holos, they really need to do a yellow and orange to round out the colour story though. The particles used are not glitter so this is super easy to remove.

Patrice they're calling a shimmer but the particles are huge and give it an almost holographic look,  the undertone in this is very nude, this is one thats work appropriate as the shimmer isnt too in your face either. Great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats. 

This weekends mani was one I did for the When Colours Collide facebook group, the colours were blue, purple and silver (not holo).

I started with a base of PoP Polish Zing a thermal thats deep cobalt blue when cold to a pale baby blue when warm, I did two coats, then I stamped with Virago Varnish She Cries Everyday a light blue and Zoya Leighton a deep purple, the silver dots where Nabi Gel Silver. I used stamping plate Fun 23 from Fab Ur Nails. My stamper of choice is Clear Jelly Stamper's Big Bling.

Oh Lauren, so so pretty I love the copper shimmer in this, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats.

Zanna is a another chic grandma colour, its dusty and brown undertone are just so pretty and this has a fabulous formula, no running or pooling, I did do two coats but this could totally be a one coater as it also stamps. Check out the state of Zanna when I lifted her off my wall rack to do the swatch! Separation to the max lol but it shook up totally fine and swatched totally fine, I've never had an issue with a Zoya when its done this.

Zoya in Joss can best be described as a soft colonial rose cream.

Love both of these.

Addison has that brown undertone, I added a bottle and nail shot to show you it dries darker than the bottle. Great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two sweet coats. The shimmer is very shy and doesnt show up on the nail.

Joss is another almost mannequin hand polish for me, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats. Another work appropriate chic polish, some would say a grandma colour too.

Both of these stamp as well, probably best over a lighter colour though.

Bonus pic of Obi doing what he loves to, crashing out on my lap with his paws in my hand, grinning and showing his fangs :) the green light was because my head wasnt in a great place yesterday so I was using green light therapy with my Phillips Hue bulbs.

Piper by Zoya can be best described as a warm medium soft pink with subtle mauve and tan undertones in a pigmented creme base.

Both of these are so pretty, theyre work appropriate classic pinks, not in your face but chic.

Caresse is a pink with a purply undertone, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats. The shimmer is quite subtle in the bottle and on the nail.

Piper has a peachy undertone, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, this one gives me mannequin hand vibes :)

Jodi by Zoya can best be described as a pale ice-cream pink cream.

Love both of these, Jordan is a blue toned pink but has a hint of a peachy undertone while Jodi is purely pink with a very strong blue undertone.

Jordan has a great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats.

Jodi also has a good formula, if you were careful you could get this to be a one coater, I did two coats for my pics, Jodi also stamps.

Harper by Zoya can be best described as a cotton candy pink with a spun gold shimmer.

Love these two, they go very well together, Happi I would say is more a shimmer than a metallic, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats. Also the shimmer I feel has a strong green tint to it.

Harper is a jelly base jam packed with multi-dimensional glitter particles, I did two coats for my photos, good formula, no running or pooling, if I was going to wear this for a mani I'd likely do three coats.  I wore a peel off basecoat for this as its glitter and a pain in the arse to remove.

Emme is a discontinued polish from Zoya and can be described as a light bubblegum pink with delicate white gold/champagne colored shimmer.

Kylie 1 as we'll call her is a sheer baby pink with a purple flash, this one is a bit tricky to work with, I did thin coats to avoid any running or pooling, my pictures show two coats. The purple shimmer is a bit elusive.

Emme is a frosty pearly pink, an ok formula, no running or pooling, although there are brush strokes. My pictures show two coats. This gives me 90s vibes.

My last bottle shot shows both Kylies together and as you can see the newer one wasnt made long after the original, Kylie 2 is from 2005.
