Zoya: Beach & Surf Collection 2012

Zoya Beach & Surf Polishes L-R: Rory, Arizona & Shelby

Hey, beauties!  The new Beach & Surf polishes from Zoya are bright, fun and super pretty. These vibrant pops of color caught my eye from all the way across the store. I just couldn’t resist such summery shades! 8)

Rory

Rory is the most unique shade I purchased, in some lights it looks pink and in others it looks purple. What makes this polish even prettier are the tiny micro shimmers, which adds a beautiful dimension without making it gritty or rough on the nails.  Along with its smooth, fast drying formula Rory is the most pigmented and looks ready to go even after just one coat.

Arizona is a shade I initially over looked, that is until I got to the register and was told Zoya was buy 2, get 1 free. As I headed back to the display, I figured I’d get a polish I wouldn’t ordinarily purchase. I mean it was free, so what did I have to lose?

Arizona

Turns out, I love this color! It’s fun and festive and perfect for your hands or toes.  At first I was afraid a pumpkin orange polish would look strange, but since it’s almost summer this bright hue is definitely poolside appropriate.

The formula of Arizona is just what I expected from Zoya. It’s creamy, easy to work with and opaque after just one coat (though a lightly applied second coat is usually needed to polish off the look).

Shelby is a shade I suspect will be one of the more popular in this collection, its a bright blue based pink perfect for achieving that Barbie doll look – ok, I admit it sorta looks like Pepto Bismol, but its still pretty! ;)

As far as the formula goes, again I have zero complaints. This polish is creamy, opaque and streak free. Oh, and I should mention that Zoya is free of toxins so you won’t burn your nose applying them. For me, that’s a major plus since nail polish usually stinks not only during application but while on my nails as well.
