A Spring-y Lynnderella Friday, Vol. 84!

*Sent for review*

Happy Friday! This post today is filled with spring Lynnderellas, perfect for Easter weekend and the start of warm weather (hopefully). First up we have the lovely Lynnderella Bunny Bird, a baby blue with multicolored pastel shimmer. The shimmer is what really sets this one apart from other blues you may own. It has little bits of pink, green, purple, maybe even some yellow shimmer bits. Just gorgeous!

This is two coats of Bunny Bird. Application was perfect, no issues at all and I didn't even have to do any clean up. I did use one layer of top coat, but it was fairly shiny on it's own.

Lynnderella The Magenta Project is a stunning magenta pink almost jelly-like base with large pink and red shimmer particles. I love how the shimmer looks like glowing embers in the pink base. Although the shimmer is very visible, it's not glitter, so the polish is very smooth.

This is two coats and great application here too! One layer of top coat for extra shine, but this was perfectly smooth without.

Lynnderella Chantilly Violet just screams spring! This is a lavender crelly base with purple, green, turquoise, and yellow-green circle glitters, as well as a smattering of silver shimmer. I love the mix of purple and green glitters!

This is three thin coats and one layer of top coat. I found it best to do two coats without too much glitter on the brush and then kind of add the glitter in the final coat. Otherwise the glitters get covered up and look a little lumpy.

Lynnderella Princess Cloud Blossom is a dainty pink shimmer with scattered heart and four-pointed star accents. There is a good amount of holo silver microgltter so you catch a glimpse of a holo rainbow here and there and the heart and star glitters are holographic as well. You all know by now I'm not a huge fan of pink polish, but I unexpectedly fell in love with this one.

Two super easy coats! I used one layer of top coat and it was smooth and shiny.

😍😍 I'll wait while you grab your drool napkin.... Lynnderella Royal Violet is a deep blue violet jelly with silver, blue, and purple microglitter. The glitter just floats in the base and looks amazing. This is one of my favorite polishes in 2018 so far, just gorgeous!

Two easy coats, no fuss! One layer of top coat provides a glossy smooth surface.

Lynnderella Candy Planet is a light pink with lots of silver shimmer and fun bright multicolored accent glitter. This definitely reminds me of a candy store, with lots of different brightly colored goodies, and maybe a cotton candy machine too! After all the dark days in the winter, this is what we all need for spring.

This is two coats. I can still see a bit of VNL, but I don't mind it too much. I'm sure a third coat would  hide that completely. I used one layer of top coat, but a second would smooth out the larger glitters.

Another delicate spring flower, Lynnderella Satin Blossom is a perfect pale pink with contrasting magenta pink shimmer. In some lighting, you just see a pearly pale pink, but in others, you catch the pop of brighter pink shimmer. Very pretty! I love how smooth the shimmer is in this one, reminds me of Chanel shimmers.

Two easy coats! I thought I would need a third with a color this pale, but I didn't! It is shiny on it's own, but I did use top coat for extra shine and to speed dry time.

Lynnderella Petal to the Metal is a very unique shade of purple. It has a lot of pink, so it's almost equal measures of purple and magenta. The color is really saturated and my camera actually would not capture the color. I had to use my iPhone to better represent the color for you. I always love a red/pink-toned purple, so I am a fan of this one.

Two coats again and one layer of top coat. Nice to apply!

Zoya Party Girls Winter/Holiday Swatches Part 1!

*Sent for review*

This is probably the latest I have ever been with swatching a holiday collection and I feel terrible about it! The weather was so cold here in December, I couldn't bring myself to go outside and take nail pictures. I finally caved and got a light box, so that will not be an issue anymore. The good news is that these Zoya Party Girls polishes will be perfect year round, they are not too season specific. First up is Zoya Nadia, described as "a buildable, sparkling, gingery gold metallic "disco" topper". Zoya says you can wear this alone or layer over other colors. I tried it alone and think it's lovely. I will definitely try it layered for the next post too, I didn't even think to do that when I was swatching these. Nadia is a really buttery copper color, like the perfect balance between gold and copper.

This is three thin coats. It was sheer on the first coat, which makes sense if they wanted you to be able to layer it as well, but built up to full opacity in three coats. The consistency was on the thinner side, so don't load your brush up with too much polish or you'll flood your cuticles. I also found Nadia to be unusually slow to dry in between coats. You can't apply a second coat too quickly or you will disturb the first one. Love the color, just be aware that it's not the most effortless formula.

Zoya Solstice is a gorgeous red-orange with a healthy dose of golden shimmer. It's very bright and cheery. Both the color and the name would work just as well in a summer collection as they do in a holiday collection. If you're already sick of winter like I am, pop on Solstice and pretend you're on a tropical vacation.

This is two easy coats. The first coat had lovely pigmentation, so if you do thicker coats than me, you may be able to get away with one. Great formula on this one.

Zoya Tawny is a sparkling copper with some rosy red tones that make it unique from the 8 billion other coppers I own. I love copper polish and this one is my new favorite. There are gold sparkles that contrast with the deep copper and add that "glowing" look.

This is two easy coats. Nice formula and really no complaints.

Next up we have Zoya Ming. Now, I thought there was already a Zoya Ming? But I Googled and don't see one, so maybe that was my imagination. Ming is a scarlet red creme, a nice true red. This is sort of a squishy creme. I wouldn't call it a jelly really, but it's definitely a little more transparent than a creme.

This is two coats. It was easy to apply and has a great consistency.

The finish of Zoya Fallon is SO beautiful, just so glowy and smooth! Zoya calls this formula a "refined pearl", it's like the smoothest looking shimmer I've ever seen. It absolutely lights up the polish on your nails. Fallon is a violet magenta and has a nice mix of red and blue tones. Despite not being a huge pink polish fan, I can't wait to wear this!

This is two coats again and it was easy to apply. I did feel like it was slow to dry in between coats, like Nadia. It's not really an issue, just as long as you don't try to apply the second coat too soon after the first.

Zoya Sheri is a deep garnet red creme. Like Ming, it's a little on the squishy side, not a true creme. It has more pink tones than Ming and is a lot darker too. Sheri will be great for any Valentine's Day nail looks you have in mind.

Two coats again, great formula. No problems with application.

If I had to play favorites with these six, I think Fallon and Tawny are my top two. But overall, I think these are all gorgeous and perfect for winter and beyond. These six are available in a set at zoya.com, as well as individually. I'm looking forward to swatching the second half of this collection, so stay tuned for that!

Zoya Sophisticates Fall 2017 Lipsticks!

*Sent for review*

Top row left to right- Zoya Lucky, Layne, Izzy, Bristol

Bottom row left to right- Zoya Addie, Tommy, Maggie

Today I have the Zoya Sophisticates lipsticks for your viewing enjoyment!  I have been really feeling Zoya's lipsticks and I am glad they are releasing more of them now. They are typically a lovely formula, creamy and comfortable to wear. I have dry lips and they feel moisturizing when I wear them. I also love that they included a blue lipstick in this collection!

Zoya Lucky is described as a "vibrant cool toned pink". It's a nice fuchsia that has a bit of sheerness to it, so it's not such a heavy punch of color. It looks fresh and really brightens up my face.

Zoya Layne is described as a "medium dusty rose". It leans towards a nude rose on me and I am in love with this one! It's a perfect shade for when you want something polished and professional, but you want something more flattering than a true nude. The hint of rose is perfect and looks more alive than a nude.

Zoya Izzy is described as a "deep fuchsia". Strangely enough, in my arm swatches, I feel like this looks like almost a coral color. But once it is on my lips, it is definitely a raspberry pink, maybe with a bit of warmth to it. This is probably because my arm is as white as a piece of paper so the color looks totally different 😂.

Zoya Bristol is described as a "medium wine tone". This one seems a bit brighter to me than a wine, but it may be the undertones of my lips causing it to turn more pink. It's a very pretty color though, nice and flattering.

Zoya Addie is described as a "pinky nude apricot" and that is a perfect description. This is a great nude for me, a little pink, a little warm, not too corpse-looking. Gorgeous!

If you're feeling daring, Zoya Tommy is a "saturated blurple". This is a great blue with some hints of purple. It took a few more swipes than the other colors for full coverage. The others really apply well in one or two swipes, this took more like 3 or 4. Love the color on me though!

Zoya Maggie is described as a "deep berry". I really love this one too, it's SO perfect for fall. It has that vampy berry look and is such a juicy looking shade. I can't wait to wear this one!

Overall, I can highly recommend these lipsticks. They apply well, are comfortable to wear, and last a good amount of time for cream finish lipsticks. They are all available now at zoya.com!
