My Picks from Zoya's Beach and Surf Collection

I was highly anticipating Zoya's summer Beach and Surf collections, creamy and shimmery sweet colors inspired by a day at the beach. However, the package I was supposed to get with the twelve polishes for review was unfortunately lost in the mail :( When I heard that the package was lost, I decided to pick up a few polishes from Ulta when I visited Utah last month. I set out to get more, but when I saw them in person I decided there were only two I couldn't live without.

Zuza is an aqua foil with gold and silver metallic shimmer, this is truly unique in my collection. I have a lot of this type of blue green, but the sparkly foil finish makes it stand out. The formula was great, but like a lot of foils, it can "shrivel" if you pile on the coats without letting it dry a bit first. This is two coats.

Kimber is a beautiful pinky magenta foil with gold shimmer. I really love this type of pink and when I saw it had a tinge of gold, I knew it had to be mine. It is so saturated and opaque! This is two coats.

You can get these or any other Zoya polish on their website www.Zoya.com for $8 each. Did you pick any of the Beach or Surf collection polishes? I am still debating on whether to get some of the others, namely Arizona and Wednesday :)

  3. Very pretty! I love the pink one...I didn't pick that one up, yet! I have several, including Wednesday and that is up on my blog if you want to peek at it. I adore it! Arizona is a bit streaky, but I might give it another try!!

    Love Zuza! I need that sooooo bad :) Arizona and Wednesday have dupes I think so those are the ones you can live without...but the names are kinda cute....uh oh...

  16. Holy Zuza.. by far prettiest swatch I've seen so far of that one. I didn't pick any of the Zoya summer collection up but I might have to rethink that one. :)

  17. Oh that stinks about it getting lost! I hope no one picked it off for themselves - When I worked for a certain cosmetic company I got free stuff sent to my home ALL the time and these days I am getting promo products plus all my obsessive purchasing...and the mail carrier made a comment to my husband once...I've seen worse happen :(

    These 2 I think were some of the only ones from the surf side I was considering...I LOVE glassflecks but something about these were not doing it for me. I LOVE Wednesday though! You should totally get it :)

  18. I have still not ordered any of these 2 collections. They came out when I was on a major no buy thing because I literally have no room for more polish until I figure out which ones to purge and also get rid of a tonage of dupes I bought for some unknown reason. I know I have to have the magenta one you have shown here. Arizona in this collection also has caught my eyes.
