Zoya Sparkle: Part I
Zoya's latest release for Summer 2010 is Sparkle & Flash. Each set contains 6 polishes and offers an array of colors and finishes. Sparkle polishes have a glitter type finish, while Flash contains 6 creme finishes. I only bought one from the Flash set, but I knew I needed the entire Sparkle set, and they do not disappoint.
Below: Gilda, a bright pink tone, has matching glitter that shifts to a lighter pink and even blue in brighter lighting.

Below: Alegra is a darker version of Gilda, and what I would call a deep fuchsia. The glitter is lighter than the base, but in the same shade.
If you've been on the fence about these, I suggest you jump off and order them! These are glitters, but yet they seem to be so much more than that. The first thing I noticed about these was how incredibly pigmented they are. I used 2 coats and I imagine 3 coats would have intensified them even more. The application was even and they dry to a smooth finish. The foil-like glitter gives them somewhat of a metallic finish also. They remove much easier than a typical glitter. These are glass-flecked foil glitters and the glitter changes color and reflects slightly different colors in brighter lighting. I've got to tell you, I am totally awed by these polishes. The application, coverage and finished look are top quality. I'm more drawn generally to purples, blues, and greens than I am to reds and pinks, so I can't wait to swatch the other three. I have a question for Zoya: If you can have a polish named Nidhi, why not one named Mary? I'm sure there's one in the works, right?!!

I'm more drawn to blues, greens and purples too. Can't wait to see them :)

I can't wait to see the other shades also. These are very pretty. I know I'm going to end up buying them all. I just can't resist a glitter polish. That pink is really gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThey look amazing!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I'm not really fond of Zoya's formula. They keep chipping on me.
Love them all! <3<3<3 :*
ReplyDeleteGlitters that look so perfect with only 2 coats are a "must have"! Great choices! Love them! ***
ReplyDeleteI love love love them <3
ReplyDeleteI believe you have me convinced on the glitters.It's nice to know they're easy to remove.
ReplyDeleteOn that other note,about the names, I did a search for several common names on the Zoya site, like Debbie,my sister-in-law,Jeaneane,my mother-in-law.They don't even have a Debbie? I thought these would make nice little gifts,especially for Debbie who is getting married in May. They do have Jancyn,however,which is my niece's name!
Hi Mary. I love the fact that their glitter,yay! Can't wait to see the other three. I'm really wanting the green,and blue. I really like Alegra too.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED this collection. And I wish they'd have a "Kris" too - I think we're penalized for having more common names! :P
ReplyDeleteI love Alegra !
