Zoya Lolly

Today I have for you Lolly by Zoya. This is a velvet matte lacquer. The color is a medium to dark magenta pink. This is a difficult one to photograph because it's hard to capture the true color of the polish. In reality it looks darker and cooler than in the photos. You can see in the two photos below how the colors look different. I used two coats to get opaque coverage. It dries very fast because of it's matte finish, which means you can't use this for nail stamping.



I give this color a B+ because I like the color, but I don't love it. I asked some girls what they think about it and they said, "It's okay". I've had some problems with chipping so that knocked the score down a bit. However, I had no problems with smudging because it dries so fast. I love that about this polish. I feel that this polish looks much nicer with a top coat than matte.

Essie Bikini So Teeny

I love this color, mainly because my favorite color is light blue, the kind of light blue that has more purple in it than green. Essie's website describes it as a sparkling, cornflower blue. The formula is great, I have no problem with streaking. I used two coats in the picture below.


I give this polish an A+ because it's so beautiful!!! It truly catches the eye and I guarantee you will get compliments on it, if you so choose to buy it. It has a beautiful subtle shimmer that you can really only see in person...and if you look at it really hard up close. I love absolutely everything about this polish!
