Zoya Swatches
Good Sunday Morning! Today I am bringing you some random Zoya swatches. As you may know, I don’t normally wear pink that much, BUT I saw Scrangie do a whole plethora of pink swatches not too long ago and I wanted at least 50% of them for myself! See she started a crazy lemming in me. So I ordered some of the Zoya ones and am showing them to you today, along with some other colors I wanted, but didn’t have yet. All pics taken in sunlight with no top coat.

Erika
Sweet
Sweet with Target’s version of Pepto. 
Whitney
Here is Whitney, a medium pink creme. I also find this one incredibly flattering and opaque in only two coats!Â
Kiki
Now Kiki is what I would call a blue-ish pink shimmer. The base is medium pink but it has tones of blue running in it and silver sparkle. I am not totally fond of this one, I think it’s a tad *showy* for my hands, but would definitely do a pedi with it in the spring/summer! It’s a great pedi color for going on vacation to Hawaii or Mexico (hmmm tropical island on the brain?).
Mikka
Part of me bought this color because the pronunciation of the color is the same as my maiden name (diff spelling though), but really, the color spoke to me also. Hard to describe this one. I would say it’s a purple/brown base with silver threads in it. I only used two coats here, but could have used three I think to make it more even. I really like this one a lot and can see wearing it as mani or pedi all fall.
Nina
Here is a lovely dark brown creme. The reason it looks a bit messy on my hands here is because my brush had a few strands that were longer than the other so they kept touching my cuticle area as I swiped it on. Other than that this polish is really nice! I did need three coats but it’s a pretty true chocolate brown creme.
Raven
I will be bringing you my Essie swatches today or tomorrow, never fear! Oh and here is an announcement (trumpet sound). I will be having another polish giveaway contest very soon so stay tuned. It’s a color that I guarantee almost everyone I know of loves, so I think you’ll be excited!
Vamp it up!
As far as the pinks go, I am digging Erika and Kikki! I am not a pink girl either but sometimes a little variety is nice.
Hi Katee – Agreed!
Wow! It’s an entirely new experience being able to see nail polish applied to nails! A lot of these colors I’ve seen in the bottles and thought “Yuck!” but in looking at some of your photos, I’m thinking I might give a few of them a shot. There are some things here I’d never have considered in a million years (like sparkly grey polish). I wear Zoya’s “Whitney” polish (and other polishes that look pretty similar) all the time, and I don’t stray far from it.
I’ve gotta say, though, that the deep opaque green, the one that looks as if it could be the color of a Volvo, still looks as horrifying applied to your nails as it does in the bottle!
Otherwise, I’ve had my eyes opened! All these years, I’ve glanced past all the bottles to zero in on anything that looks like my saturated raspberry, and ignored everything else. I learned a lot today just scrolling down your page. Thanks!
Hahaha! The picture with the bottle cracked me up!
Hi Lola – Thanks for writing in! Yes it’s true, when you see something on an actual person and not in the package it really can make a huge difference. I see that all the time with polish or eyeshadows, etc. I am glad I have “opened your eyes”!
I don’t wear pinks very often but Erika is seriously beautiful! And Raven is hot for sure!
Hi Sanna – I know right? I feel the same way!
I think this is first time I’ve seen Erika. Love it!
Hi Hailey Cosmic – Isn’t it so pretty? I totally love it also.
Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Nail Polish
I have NO idea what collection these are from or anything! One thing that drives me mad about Sally Hansen is their website is hopelessly out of date, it doesn’t include the latest new or upcoming lines and they are totally sporadic about which lines and color collections come out in which stores, etc. I have an incredibly hard time finding any of the new Tracy Reese collections and have had to resort to getting them on eBay in the past. Get it together people, you would think that a HUGE company like that would be more accessible. Ok I …
