There's usually at least one polish per Zoya summer collection that has me drooling right from the very first promo picture. This year, it's the lovely Zoya Josie! Josie is an excellent grassy green creme. Well, I say grassy, but whose grass is really this color? Definitely not mine! Maybe my crazy neighbor who spends 5 hours a day working on his lawn and mowing it 6 times a week... Moving back to Josie, this is such a pretty medium green. Not too dark, not too bright, a little hint of dustiness. Even better, it appears to be unique in my collection!! I have a comparison post in the works, but it is totally different from Essie Mojito Madness, if you were wondering.


This is two easy coats of Josie. No problems here! Just nice application and great opacity!





Base: one coat Nicole by OPI Base Coat Plus
Color: two coats Zoya Rocky
Top: one coat Seche Vite and NYC Grand Central Station mixed
Application: good (out of poor, average, good, excellent)

Zoya Rocky is another one of those colors that I just love! I know I already have several medium bright blue cremes similar to Rocky, but I adore them all! Who doesn't want to wear this color in the summer? I love this kind of blue on my toes.


Rocky was also super easy to apply. Just two coats, no difficulties at all. My one note (and the reason Rocky and Josie didn't get excellent ratings), is that I felt these two were maybe a tad thick. It was not a problem now, but may eventually make application a little harder/require thinning.




Base: one coat Nicole by OPI Base Coat Plus
Color: three coats Zoya Yana
Top: one coat Seche Vite and NYC Grand Central Station mixed
Application: good (out of poor, average, good, excellent)

Zoya Yana is a bright pink creme with some visible shimmer. Zoya calls this "geranium pink" and I can see that. This kind of not pale, not too dark creme is always popular during the spring and summer months, so check your stash for something similar. I like the shimmer in Yana a lot though. It reminds me of that understated Chanel shimmer. Very elegant looking! I'd be interested to see this compared to Chanel Fracas, although I don't own it myself!


Yana was pretty easy to apply, though I found I wanted to add a third coat to really hide my nail line. Two thicker coats would probably be fine. I think the shimmer in this made it even smoother to apply than Josie and Rocky.


My top picks from the Stunning collection are Josie and Thandie. I also really love Darcy and Rocky, but fellow polish hoarders enthusiasts may own similar shades. If you are a lover of pink, you will especially love Yana and may like the carnation-y Micky too. If you have any suggestions for comparisons, please let me know, I will check my stash!
