Zoya Ki and giveaway order


My Zoya giveaway order arrived today! I ordered one polish in addition to the 3 free ones. I was able to get my 2 biggest Zoya lemmings - Hope and Kalista. Both are gorgeous! Hope is totally unique to my collection, and Kalista is the warm brown shimmer I've been wanting for fall. Everyone is doing brown cremes, but I only like those if they are taupe-y. I threw in Ki because I was curious about it, and Evangeline because it looks pretty in photos.

I went with Ki today - I was curious to see the duo chrome on my nails.


Generally speaking, I don't like duo chromes. The 2nd color is usually a sickly greenish gold that gives me corpse hands. This is, for instance, why wildfire is the only color in the Nubar green collection that I didn't buy - it's like an entire bottle of that unflattering color! I can't say I think Ki is the most flattering color ever, but it is better than most duos. In indoor light the purple is prevalent, but outdoors it looks green. My bottle was a tad bit thick, and I did experience major shrinkage from my topcoat (not obvious in this photo.)

I just love zoya - their selection is enormous, and every new collection brings interesting new shades and effects. They also do great promotions like this one and the polish exchange. I know their strategy worked for me - before the exchange I would never have tried them, but I'm a customer for life now! I do wish the brushes were better (wider) but they're still better than Essie.
