Zoya Roxy & FREE Rainbow Connection :-)

I ordered OPI Rainbow Connection from Amazon this week using a $5 gift card I earned from swagbucks.com which made it almost FREE :) You can read more about swagbucks and things I have earned here.

For this quick manicure I used two layers of Zoya Roxy and added one layer of OPI Rainbow Connection on top. Roxy is gorgeous on its own but it is even more eye catching with Rainbow Connection. I think I will be using Rainbow Connection for my next couple of manicures.. as long as I do not get too frustrated with its removal ;-)

Shimmering Stripes

This is my striped manicure from a while back. You can see the original post here. Like most of my manicures recently I thought it needed a little something extra so I added China Glaze White Cap. I think it is gorgeous:)

Zoya Kiki & Magical Stripes

I wanted to show a Zoya polish since their polish exchange promotion is going on right now. For this manicure I used China Glaze Magical as a base. I then used thin strips of tape and painted Zoya Kiki on top. Kiki is one of my favorite Zoya polishes and I think it looks even prettier with the China Glaze Magical stripes.

Zoya Harlow & Stamping

Zoya Harlow is my one and only Matte polish. You can see what Harlow looks like on its own here. Harlow makes a great base for stamping because of its quick drying time. I used Cover Girl Triple Platinum and my Bundle Monster plates for the stamping.

I ended up using a top coat on this mani, and I really liked the end result.

Zoya Happi

Happi is from Zoya's Reverie collection. Happi is a pretty bubble gum or barbie pink. It is a slight duo chrome that flashes gold and a light yellow/green shade with gold shimmer. This is two coats, no topcoat. I would highly recommend purchasing it with Zoya's next promotion.

Zoya Jo

I ordered Zoya Jo for the name alone during Zoya's three free promo. I was never been a big fan of blue nail polish, until I purchased Jo. It is unique and beautiful, and unlike any polish I own. Jo is a periwinkle blue with shimmer. This is two coats, no topcoat.

This was a part of Zoya's Spring 2009 Twist collection.

Zoya Reece & Cassi

Zoya Reece is a hot pink nail polish with pink/gold duochrome shimmer. Reece is one of my favorites from the Zoya Reverie collection. This is two coats, no topcoat.

Zoya Cassi is a light peachy pink with sparkling white gold shimmer. Cassi is a pretty coral color, but it isn't as opaque as the other Zoyas in my collection. I had to apply three thick coats and I could still see through the polish.

Zoya Harlow & Roxy

Harlow is one of Zoya's Matte Velvet colors. Harlow is a magenta/plum color that is pretty on its own, and with a topcoat. The formula is fantastic. It was opaque in two coats and dried quickly.

Zoya Roxy is a deep plum that is packed with amazing glitter. This polish needs at least two coats, and is smooth with just one coat of your favorite topcoat.

I love the Zoya bottles, and their tiny brushes. I wish they were cheaper though. For me, $8 plus shipping is expensive for one nail polish.

Zoya Collection

Two photos of my Zoya collection. I would be happy to swatch any/all of them in the future.
