Pink Wednesday: Zoya Anthea

Hello lovelies!

I know it's still Wednesday somewhere in the world and you know what that means...

I'm tired today, so this is going to be short and sweet. :)

Anthea is a gorgeous coral-leaning pink with subtle gold shimmer. It's slightly darker in real life, but no less gorgeous. This is two easy coats plus topcoat. I wouldn't have added the second coat if I hadn't been taking pictures.

That's it from me for today. What are you wearing on your tips today? :)

Swatches & Review: Zoya Kimmy

Hello lovelies! I hope you're all having a good week so far. <3

Today I'll be showing you one of Zoya's Sunshine Collection polishes: Kimmy. I've been curious about Zoya for quite some time now, but only recently found an etailer that sells them. Let's call this my first time using Zoya, because I would really like to draw the curtain of charity over the atrocity that was my first experience with Zoya (totally my fault, not that of the polish).

Kimmy is a gorgeous vibrant red with golden glitter. No matter the lighting, your nails always look sunlit. So beautiful. <3

This is two easy coats; application was smooth and effortless. The only thing I "dislike" is the drying time. Since quick dry topcoat isn't an option with Zoya I used Nubar's Freeze Dry quick dry drops (is that what they're called?!) which makes the polish dry much faster than it would on its own, but for an impatient spazz like me that's still a LONG time. Ah well, for such a unique and beautiful polish I'm willing to put up with that. :)

Do you guys have any tips on how to use Zoya polishes?

EDIT: Ack! Where did the cat hair on my ring finger come from?! *looks at sleeping kitty accusingly*
