Zoya Cola

Zoya Cola was one of my 3 free picks from Zoya's promotion at the beginning of January. I got her yesterday, along with Tiffany and Kelly, which I will post for you later.

Zoya Cola Packaging material

I did hear a couple people say that they received bottles that had broken. I actually thought their packaging was really great, and in fact unique. Check out that weird gray packaging material that Zoya wrapped my polishes in. It's thick like a sheet of cotton or something, but actually looks really cool. They were then place in a bubble wrap lined envelope. I did notice a small tear in the outside of the envelope though. This leads me to believe that the few people who did have broken polishes had them at the fault of the shipping process and not Zoya.
She went right on my toes! I found the polish to be pretty great. There was no streakiness, it was a good consistency, and the brush was average. This was two coats using Seche Ridge Filling Base Coat and Seche Vite Top Coat.

I found the color to be pretty much what I expected, which I think it important in a polish that you almost have to buy online. The website swatch is a little more brilliant than it is in real life. In more lights that not, it does look darker, which is really normal with a very dark polish. I don't believe that it ever looks black though. There is a lot of brown to this color, especially just in the bottle, but it is overall a definite red. I really like it.

I had the urge to do a little pre-Valentine's Day nail art. What do you think? :D

  1. LOVE IT! I can't wait for my 6 colors to ship out! I can't remember what all colors I got b/c the paper I had them on disappeared, but I ordered Happi, Adina, Isla, America and 2 others.

  2. I love that gray stuff! I put it on the bottom of my <.< um >.> 4 or 5 boxes of nail polish it keeps them from slipping around AND if something bad should happen it would absorb it all.
