Zoya nail polish

[marusia]

Totally going to Dollar General tomorrow and hording nail polishes. Has anyone tried "Ali"? Is it as stupid-super over the top neon as I think it might be?

I may have just found my dupe!

I finally got around to posting swatches of my new Hot Lips on my blog.

I really like these and can't wait to get more! Next project: trying out all my new nail polishes from the exchange!

I have Ali and it is BRIGHT. It's bright when I'm in the house and when I go outside in direct sunlight it uber-bright. I think it's more neon than my essie pink parka.

Zoya has the best formula I have ever tried! If you love vampies and violet polishes you absolutely have to get Yasmeen, it is the bomb!

Love Zoya!! I haven't yet sent in my exchange for this year, but have the package ready to go. I have accumulated quite a few, so having a hard time deciding which to exchange for.

Here are a couple recent creme shade mani's.
Demi, in direct sun. Two coats shows the plum-purple shade well:

and Zoya Dita, a soft red which appears more pink in bottle. Two coats:

.. I just got all of my zoya's in the mail and well I couldn't be happier, one of them leaked in the boxes (I contacted them the day afterword) and just got the same color in the mail for the old one and am a totally happy camper.

I am in love with these colors

one thing I have noticed however with the zoya's they tend to have bubbles alot easier then the other brands and you almost need to have the first coat dry before putting the next one on (not even using color lock)

does anybody else have that problem?

I think it's the Armor Top Coat that causes that for me, because I get the bubbles even when I'm using it over another brand of n/p. I've heard of others having the same problem.

I rarely get bubbles w/my Zoyas but I do add Renew if it is at all thick. I prefer thin coats w/these. Make sure you don't shake them, they seem to hold their bubbles longer than other np - just roll them for a minute or two in your hands.

I use to get bubbles as well. I stopped using a base coat and a top coat with my Zoya polishes, and the bubbles stopped.
