Sydney is a discontinued polish from Zoya I would describe her as a blue toned med pink metallic with a silver flash.

Rory is so pretty, I love the lilac undertone to this pink, she can look lilac in different lights and pink in others. Good formula, no running or pooling, opaque in one sweet coat, Rory also stamps.

Sydney is super pretty, a liquid metal beauty, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, think if you have longer nails you'll need two.

I also wanted to show Rory and Felina together to show the difference.

Lindsay is a discontinued polish from Zoya and I would describer her as a med toned pink jelly base with multi-coloured glass flecks.

Felina is stunning, its the perfect pink, its not in your face bright, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats. 

While I'm saying this is from the classic collection I'm not so sure it is, I got this in a destash and it was only as I was doing my research for my spreadsheet that I realised I couldnt find any real info on this polish. Yes you can google and see some photos but I cant find a collection and its not actually listed in the classic collection picture I use.

Lindsay is also gorgeous, I adore the multi-coloured sparkles in this, good formula, no running or pooling just sheer, I would do three coats for opacity if I was wearing this as a mani, as you can see two coats isnt quite enough.

The cats were enjoying some snooze time over the weekend, Ellie was being maximum cute and Obi was his usual shiny self :)

Lolly is a discontinued polish and I would describe her as a bright almost neon magenta pink.

Brandi is so lovely, an orange undertone gives this quite a unique pink, almost bordering on terracotta. Great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat and it also stamps :) 

Lolly is a pain in the ass to swatch! This first go by Zoya at matte polishes was not good, I dont know if a regular bottle would be better I only managed to find minis.

This has to be out on thickly and the fewest strokes you can manage, it dries way too fast for you to be playing with it, as I only have a mini bottle I only swatched this on my thumb and you can see I have a giant divot right down the centre because I forgot how quickly this dried. I love the colour though.

Sandy can best be described as a full coverage blue toned flamingo pink cream.

I know that Zoya say Libby is purple but when I put it with my purples it looks very pink. Picture below, this has a good formula, no running or pooling, its sheer, I've done two coats in my pics.  Also check out my stained nails from wearing Cana from yesterday! Yikes! I was wearing two coats of base coat as well.

Sandy is another gorgeous pink cream, very good formula, no running or pooling, opaque in two coats. Sandy also stamps. 

I also apologise for the dreadful swatching I am not feeling very well, nausea and a bit dizzy, hoping that doesnt mean migraine attack soon.

Colour - Pink

Missy can best be described as the perfect summer pink in a full coverage cream formula.

Cana is super bright, they recommend you wear it over a white, good formula, no running or pooling with the z-wide brush but as you can clearly see its super sheer, thats three coats and you can still see my nail line, this also dries matte but I've chucked topcoat over my ring and little fingers.

Missy is so pretty and soft, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, this also stamps, please ignore the weird bumpy nails, I took my gel base layer off as I dont have long nails to protect anymore and I guess I need to buff my nails.

Last couple of pics showing Ali and Cana together, you can see how much more opaque Ali is and possibly how much brighter Ali is also.

Micky by Zoya can be best described as a full-coverage, amazing coral cream.

Interesting that they call Micky a cream, my bottle has a very very fine silver shimmer flash, that doesnt show up on the nail. Good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats.

Ali is my fav neon pink from Zoya, I also own Cana but she is sheer and takes three coats, Ali has a good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, I use a z-wide brush to help with any streaks, this dries matte, I put topcoat on my first two nails so you could see the difference. I've included a shot where you can see how much I have used Ali. I think she is my most worn Zoya.

I also show you the difference between Wendy from yesterday and Micky, as you can see Micky is a deeper colour.

Wendy by Zoya can be best described as a juicy summer melon, flawlessly opaque in 2 coats.

Minnie is so pretty, this is a pink with a hint of coral, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, this also stamps.

Wendy is a slightly deeper pink with an orange undertone, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, and Wendy stamps. These two look very close in certain lights but they are different.

I did a manicure for When Colours Collide on Facebook and used the following Virago Varnish Pool Hair Don't Care, Virago Varnish Poison Ivy & Pretty Serious Absence to make a gradient for my middle fingers, Gold is Models Own Chrome Gold, plate is Powder Perfect Egypt 1, I stamped over the bases with the opposite colours.
