Zoya Storm

I've been loving a lot of bright and colorful mani's lately, after all it is Spring and the weather has been gorgeous. But as usual I felt the need for something a little more DarknTwisty, just to change things up a little. I just can't live without my gorgeous dark polishes for too long. I picked a perfect day for it too, because it's raining at the moment.

Zoya Storm is just what I wanted! It's a black base with a scattered holo and was part of the Zoya 2012 winter Ornate collection, just like Blaze I showed earlier.

The formula is perfect, opaque in 2 thin coats, it dries really fast and extremely shiny. What a gorgeous polish! This looks like a clear night sky and I can't stop staring. It looks gorgeous in the shade, but when the sun  hits it... oh boy... multi colored black goodness!

Zoya has quite a few of these scattered holo polishes and I think I might own them all. I'm not a big fan of linear holo polish but I do love a good scattered holo every now and again and this is one of my favorites.

Although this is an older polish, it's still widely available. If you love dark polishes with a twist, I'd definitely recommend you pick this up!

Do you own any of the Zoya scattered holo's and which one is your favorite?

Zoya Blaze

This is one of my forgotten polishes. I bought this a while ago, put it in my stash and totally forgot about it! That is, untill a friend of mine send me a picture and said she really wanted this polish, because it's just gorgeous. I looked at the picture... wrinkled my forehead, deep in thought and realized I actually owned it!

So of to the Helmer I went to dig it up and slap it on my nails :D

Zoya Blaze is a deep raspberry red polish with a crapton of holo micro glitter in it. For the people who know me: yes, I said holo and I still love it! Little weird fact about me... I'm not the biggest fan of holographic polishes. I know, shocker! I think it often takes away from the great base color of a polish, especially if it has a strong linear holo. But this scattered holo glitter I like!

The formula was bang on! It flows on the nail with easy and is opaque in almost 1 coat, but 2 is better. It dries really fast and shiny and that scattered holo is amazing! It was a little hard to capture that in a picture though...

Blaze was part of the 2012 Winter Ornate collection, but is still widely available. I would definitely suggest picking this up if you haven't allready.



Am I the only one with no love for strong linear holo's?
