Day 6: Zoya Marina

Oh man, was this an UPSET! Truth be told, I thought Charla was going to run away with the competition. But I was entirely wrong!



Instead, Marina, a metallic cadet blue won out the poll. I was surprised to find that I really liked this shade, in spite of my slight aversion to metallics. Some metallic polishes turn out super streaky, but I should have known Zoya would never fall into that category.

Marina was perfect for fall, but truthfully, this is a color you could very well wear throughout the winter. It has an iciness to it that will fit right in.

Okay, ladies... tomorrow's theme is glitter madness! So you can choose from Mimi, Charla, Julieanne, Valerie, Reva, or Faye. Get out there and vote!!!

Day 5: Zoya Blair

I was really surprised that Blair was the winner, not that I don't love her. I thought Valerie would win by a landslide, but boy was I wrong!

Blair holds a special place in my heart for two reasons. The first is that my younger sister's middle name is Blair and I was the one who picked it when she was born. (Side note: We're ten years apart in age. That should explain it!) AND it is one of the first Zoyas I ever owned. I had received them as part of the Earth Day promo in 2009, with Indigo, Charla, Mimi, Colbie, and Ibiza, and have not looked back since! Although, now I'm pushing 40 Zoya polishes and they have a box of their own in my polish bin.

So without further adieu, hereeeeeeeeeee's Blair!



Blair is a gorgeous and rich cranberry metallic that is perfect for the upcoming holiday season. When I first received Blair, I wasn't sure it would be a color I would wear for more than a day.




Turns out, Blair is very flattering for my skintone and I will likely pack it with me when I go on vacation. I've been wearing her for three days and will be sad when I have to take the shade off tomorrow.

And speaking of tomorrow, since it has been so unseasonably warm here in Jersey, the theme is going to be ocean water. So vote for Charla, Indigo, Marina, or Ibiza for the Day 6!

Day 4: Zoya Areej

Sorry for the delay, folks... got caught up at school today and wasn't able to finish up in time to post this afternoon.

But without further adieu, here is your choice for Day 4... Zoya Areej!


Areej is a beautiful, bubblegum pink creme. It was the perfect choice for the summer and a really nice change of pace for me. I'm constantly wearing sparkly colors, but usually favor purples and blues. However, Areej got me hook, line, and sinker.



As if you expected anything less, this pink applied like butter and was super glossy even before I added a coat of Seche Vite for good measure.

But after wearing this bright color, I want to get in touch with my inner dark side. So for day 5, our theme will be vampy shades: Colbie, Blair, Valerie, and Anja.

Happy voting!

Day 3: Zoya Cynthia

I originally bought this color for my roommate, who is also named Cynthia, as part of her birthday present. Then, as it turned out, I snagged the whole collection from a Zoya giveaway. So now, we each have our own!



Cynthia is a lovely peacock blue that is so easy to apply, I could do it half asleep. And considering I swatched this after studying for an exam, I pretty much did. This is with two coats. I probably could have used another for a richer finish, but I was EXHAUSTED.

The best part about this polish is that it breaks the mold of most other, hard-to-remove blues. It took a little extra effort at the cuticle with a cotton swab, but it didn't leave any ugly stains that made me feel like Smurfette. And that's a REALLY good thing.

So, what do you think about Cynthia? Is she your cup of tea or are you going to pass on her?

For Day 4, put down the glitter and back away from the pixie dust, Tinkerbell!!! We're going with cremes! Your choices for tomorrow are Mira, Breezi, and Areej. Get voting!

And remember, the more days you vote, the more entries you get! (Full rules here.)

Enjoy your Sunday!
