Out of all the colors for Zoya’s Fall/Winter 2012 collection, people were all about the Feifei. Oh no, honey. It’s all about Zoya Daul.

OPI Flutter Collection (Part I)- Wing It! and Catch Me In Your Net / Zoya – Charla – Summer 2010
Sunday, 6 June, 2010
Ok, so…I’ve got some colors here that are a part of OPI’s Summer 2010 Collection called Flutter.
So the first color I’m showing is called Wing It!
I’m not a fan of this shade. It’s a bit too sheer for my taste…to make matters worse, I feel this pink is a bit too youthful for me. Like Fairy Princess kind of pink for a little girl. What may camera failed to capture was the pretty iridescence of the glitter. It’s actually prettier than the actual base color! So while I was disappointed in this color, it was a bit too pink/too close to coral for my taste.
Look carefully at this color…isn’t it gorgeous? It is, isn’t it? Scroll down for the reality.

So here we are…literally dupes. You can’t see how gorgeous this (these) color(s) is(are) – it’s like mermaid scales. There is a slight green shimmer and gold glitter that runs through it. Absolutely gorgeous. What a pity that it’s a total dupe of Zoya’s Charla. So…surprise! If you weren’t able to get a hold of Charla, grab OPI’s Catch Me In Your Net.
Heck, here are the ding dang bottle shots!
The formula on this was runny and hard to work with. Both of the colors above were 2 coaters.

Zoya – Alegra – Sparkle Collection, summer 2010
Wednesday, 19 May, 2010
Just when I thought I had all 6 colors shown, I came across this one. Sorry about that.
Alegra is very similar to Gilda and for one red hot moment, I thought I had taken 2 sets of pictures of the same color. No. My skin just happens to make them look alike.

Zoya – Ivanka – Sparkle Collection – Summer 2010
Friday, 16 April, 2010
Part of the Sparkle collection, this lushtastic green is simply to be envied when worn. The shot in the shade best captures Ivanka’s spirit until you see it in person. Sunlight washed it out, but to be honest, I think my little camera couldn’t hold up to its beauty when put in natural light. It’s truly one of the colors you’ve got to get out of this collection in addition to Mimi and Charla.
Click pics to see the full detail.
My pointer finger and middle finger really capture what Ivanka’s all about. The color and pop is always ON. It never stops and it lasted for a good week. The *only* chipping I had was on my right hand’s index finger…and it’s only because I filed my nail down. Other than that, wear was excellent!
Sunlight washed it out and showed my deficiencies in nail polish application. 😀 Nonetheless, one color I’m going to get a back-up of because I get the feeling I’m going to be wearing this a lot during the summer – either on my toes or on my nails when I’m not swatching.
Shots of this gorgeous purple suede with top coat and the way it’s meant to be worn, without topcoat.
Very, very pretty!
Please forgive the hangnails – this is my right hand that takes a lot of abuse. That said, it’s really pretty with topcoat.
I think I prefer this shade the way it’s meant to be – worn as a suede. Wonder what people will prefer if they buy this shade? What I like about Zoya is that the suede bottles are actually matte so you can find it pretty quickly in your collection if you put all your Zoyas together.

Zoya – Mimi – Summer 2010 collection – Sparkle
Wednesday, 14 April, 2010
Such a gorgeous shade of PURPLE! LOVE LOVE L O V E it. I swatched the whole collection, but I have to put it up…sorry for the delay. I get waylaid by my other colors. I promise they’ll all be up soon.
This shot best represents the true color of this polish. You can see the awesome flecks of gold glitter. Very subtle, but overall makes it’s such a beautiful color when worn.
The sun washes out the color a bit, but makes the glitter pop. It’s stunning, yes? YES.
Happy early Easter. While I am off to Carmel to spend Easter lunch with my aunts, uncles and cousins I wanted to leave you with an Easter-y color that isn’t a pastel.
I now present you with…
Perfectly Easter without being obnoxious. I love this color. The silvery shimmer running through it keeps it from being a plain old not-quite-pastel blue. Isn’t it just gorgeous? I love it.

Zoya – Charla – Sparkle Collection, Summer 2010
Friday, 2 April, 2010
Lovely color! I kept thinking of the ocean when I put this on. Sadly, my skin tone doesn’t like it on me. 🙁
Boo over cast days! Did my best to get what I could, but the shade and overcast are frighteningly similar. Much as I loved this color, it’s not for me. I should’ve known better! However, I can still believe it’s a gorgeous, gorgeous color…just not on me.
