Zoya America

Hey everyone!  TGIF!  I have something brand new today, and let me tell you, it really is brand new to me.  This is my first Zoya product, and I have fallen in love!  The formula is so smooth and it goes on perfectly.  The pigment is rich and I got complete coverage with no bald spots with two thin coats.  I probably could have gotten away with one thick coat, but I did two just to be on the safe side.

Now that I've had a taste of Zoya, I want more of them.  America actually looks very similar to OPI Thrill of Brazil, only with the tiniest bit more orange in it.  Still, it's the classic pin up red that holds a special place in my heart.  This might even be my new go-to shade.  ;)  And the bottle's really pretty.  Like Deborah Lippmann's and Essie's bottles had a baby and popped out Zoya.

Then I got a little overly ambitious and tried to do candy cane nails for the holidays.

Fail.  I used Sally Hansen White Out and Pixel Oh Sooish! to make it look like candy.  Oh Sooish! is a translucent white glitter, almost a glaze, that adds that extra bit of shine.  Essie Marshmallow would probably be very similar, I just don't have that one.

Zoya America retails for $8 US, Sally Hansen White Out and Pixel Oh Sooish! both retail for about $2.50 US
