Zoya Exchange- Part IV
And now ladies & gents, here the the fourth and final entry in my Zoya exchange haul. Enjoy!
Sloane is quite simply, awesome and I’m not sure why I didn’t already have this! It’s a super vampy deep purple that has hints of brown and red. The shimmer is red colored. This is a definite must have for those who like vampy colors. This was three coats.
Vegas Freeze looks absolutely nothing like it does in the bottle and that was really disappointing to me. I thought it was going to be an amazing thick dark glittery purple, but instead it was SUPER sheer and light. Colors like these are exactly why I started this blog because you never know what you are looking at until it’s actually on! The polish is a jelly like consistency and this is three coats. I can really only see wearing this as a layer over something else, it’s just so sheer.
Venus is a very pretty light lavender that leans towards the pink side. It has a really nice shimmer that flashes blue in certain lights. This was three coats.
Yummy is another one that I am wondering why I just got! This blue is so pretty, if not totally original. It’s a sky blue creme and totally flattering on both pale and darker skin tones. This was only two coats.
Catch you later alligator!
Welcome! My name is Kelly and Vampy Varnish is a animal friendly beauty blog.
LOVE the Sloane and love the Yummy.
Thanks, Kelly!!
i am glad to see i am not the only one who fell for vegas freeze! both my sister and i ordered this color thinking it was going to be super fabulous and were very disappointed looks good layered over a pale lavender and it ads dimension to deep metallic colors
i will probably swap it back in the next zoya swap !!
in reference to vegas freeze, zoya has a rating system on their website when looking at polishes that is based on 1-5..1 being the sheerest. If you look on their website under vegas freeze..this is how they described it…so you shouldnt of had any surprises.

Hi YadiQ,
I will definitely try it as a layer color next time around. I always forget to try light colors out like that though, they tend to sit unloved in the back of my drawer haha!
Hi polishlovaa,
Thanks for that! I don’t usually individually
click on the colors though, I just check out the swatches under “Nail
Polish by Shade” so there it only shows a picture. Next time I’ll try
that out!
If I had known that was what Vegas Freeze looked like when applied, I would have gotten it! I love that it doesn’t look anything like the bottle!
I’m a little odd like that though.
Sloane looks similar to Chanel cosmic violine, could it be a dupe?
That Vegas Freeze is pretty shocking!
I have and am wearing Yummy right now on my toes… Love it, love it, love it.
Sloane looks amazing!!!
