I realize that I haven’t posted a Pink Wednesday in quite some time so here you go. I have long wavered on whether or not to try Zoya. I didn’t think that I would like the brush because I tend to like wider brushes as well as longer brush handles. But after hearing so many bloggers and tweeters rave about Zoya, I finally broke down and decided to give it a try. Since I was only going to buy one bottle to start, instead of buying through the Zoya website, even though they have great promotions throughout the year, I purchased my first Zoya from Ulta. Ulta carries a few different shades, not many that would be my first preference but, I was able to choose one-Zoya Dita. It is a cream rosey-pink. IMO, it is a very duppish of China Glaze Heli-Yum; just a little bit more pink.
Review: I think Zoya has gained a new user. To my surprise, I am not bothered by the brush or brush handle. In fact, the application was amazing. Some have said that they like the smaller brush because they have small nailbeds. I am just the opposite, I have longer nailbeds and the brush made application very easy, the smaller and shorter brush helped to get closer to the cuticle but still leave the gap I like. As for the formulation, based on my experience with this one polish, the application was smooth, not too thick or too runny. It didn’t pool at the edges, I had little to no clean-up needed on my left hand (I’m right handed). I am actually excited to try other shades. I am a visual person so I wish that a larger selection was available at the stores like Ulta but I will definitely be purchasing more Zoya Nail Lacquer!Remember, treat your nails as jewels, not tools. Grace and Peace.
I'm glad your first time was pleasant. My first experience with zoya was good as well, but later the short bristles of the brush + long nails + crappy formula made me sad. Overall I would say I like them though.
ReplyDeleteI loooove Heli-Yum so by default I like Dita too :D
What a gorgeous color on you! I like my Zoyas too, but find that I can't be as heavy-handed with them as I am with other polish, my coats must be thin.
