Zoya 'Ali'

I'm the proud owner of a huge nail polish collection, however I didn't have that many pinks in it until recently. I was browsing through some blogs, when I stumbled across Amy's blog (Blog Rince), which featured this particular polish I'm going to show you guys today. 

It's a bright, neon pink that isn't too cool and it isn't too warm that it seems to be a coral either. It's the perfect pink, for me at least. 
I ordered this nail polish on eBay, as Zoya nail polishes can't be purchased in any store in Spain. My eBay seller, and I can't say enough good things about this seller, not only for the fast service but also because of its low prices that make it so affordable for me to buy these online. 

'Ali' is quite an opaque polish, although I always do 2 to 3 coats just in case with EVERY nail polish. The quality is just excellent, and there's no chipping to be seen after 4 days.

I'm in love with Zoya polishes, and my next post will feature Zoya's "Casey", another favourite of mine that is just THE PERFECT fall colour for me!

Zoya 'Frida'

Turquoise was the perfect summer colour, but now that we're halfway through autumn (fall), I think we should start thinking about darker colours. If you're into gel or sheer nail polishes, you're going to love Zoya's "Frida". 

Zoya isn't a brand that we can buy in Spain, sadly, but I found an eBay seller who has the full collection, ships internationally, and at a VERY LOW price! (In case you're interested, here's the link to my eBay seller.)

The colour is just amazing, and the shine and gel-like texture is great too! I lost count of how many coats I did on my nails, but I think around 4 or 5, but take into account it's a sheer nail polish. I've had some people comment on my nails already!

It's not a bright colour, it's a bluey green fall colour, some might even describe it as a moss green, but with some blue thrown in too. In some lights, it looks like a dark blue, and in others, like a darkish green. Whatever colour it is, it looks BEAUTIFUL. It compliments my green eyes and dark hair beautifully, and it's one of those colours I don't get bored of by the second day!

Update!

It's been nearly a month since I last posted anything on my blog! I'm so sorry for this long hiatus, but I really needed to put some order in my life, now that my semester has started. 

However, I'm glad to announce there will be four Zoya nail polish reviews (I'm still a nail polish addict, yes!) -Ali, Casey, Frida, Charisma- and a review of Garnier's BB cream (which I'm still trying out, so it will probably be a couple of days or weeks until I post it, just to be 100% sure about everything I'm writing!)

Love,
Maria.
