Zoya Yara Nail Polish Review!

Zoya Yara Nail Polish

Zoya Yara Nail Polish ($8) is a medium olive/khaki or army green infused with very fine gold glitter. It's by no means a glitter polish, so don't let that throw you off if you don't care for glitter polish. In fact, it looks more shimmery in the bottle, than it does on the nails. Sadly, it's one of those polishes where the glitter becomes semi-lost in the opaque color base once applied. It's still visible, mostly under direct light. I think it's a really pretty, unique color - perfect for Fall.

This is only my third Zoya polish, and so far, I've had luck with all of them formula-wise. The formula is completely ideal - it isn't thick, and it isn't watery. It's a very good medium - nice and creamy, which makes application a breeze.

NOTD: Zoya Renee!

Renee can be best described as: Ultra-bright red-toned medium neon pink creme. Bright and eye-catching, perfect for showing off a deep summer tan. (Source: http://Zoya.com)

In the bottle, Renee looks like a medium toned, magenta pink. Once applied to the nails it is much different. It looks like a vibrant pinked, red. In low lighting, my nails look completely red, but in the sunlight - the pink tone is much more visible.

You could really see in this photo how different the color looks on the nails, than in the bottle.

The formula is okay. It's opaque with two coats, although some may prefer three thin coats because my nail line was slightly visible. The reason I'm not crazy about the formula is because, it's now day 3-4 and most of my nails have cracks in the polish. Also, this polish is very easy to chip. Just about all of my nails on my right hand are chipped. 

So, this isn't a nail polish I'd recommend unless you're crazy about the color and you're very "easy" on your hands.

NOTD: Zoya Morgan!

Two (2) Coats of Zoya Morgan Nail Polish with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat.

Lighting: Indoors, sunlight.

So maybe I'm late on the bandwagon, but I never really heard of Zoya until the last few years. Yeah, I see a NOTD with Zoya Nail Polishes here and there, but I never knew what the fuss was about. It wasn't until recently the brand started to spark my interest with their awesome promotions lately (I happened to be late to all of them though). I started looking at Zoya's website and I never knew that Zoya Nail Polishes are a "natural" nail polish brand. (I told you, I'm late on the bandwagon)

Anyway, I snagged this Zoya Nail Polish in a (nail polish) swap and I'm really liking it! I added some other colors to my nail polish wish list, and I'm excited to venture further into the brand. 

This color in particular is Morgan, and it's described as a mid tone violet-red creme with dark pink undertones. In low light or indoor lighting, it appears a mid tone raspberry. In the sunlight, the red tones are much less visible and the color appears very violet-pink. 

Morgan is the perfect creme formula. Not too thick, not too thin - opaque with two coats. The drying time wasn't bad. It didn't dry as fast as OPI, and it didn't dry as slow as Revlon. I like the brush applicator, as it's pretty short. It makes it a little easier to apply polish when I use my left hand.
