Zoya Lotus, Josie, and Yana Swatch And Review



Hey hey hey!  Sorry for the lapse in posts lately, my family flew into town this weekend to celebrate my mother's 70th birthday, and needless to say, I was busy busy busy!  I had a lot of fun hanging out with my brothers and their SOs, as well as my mom and LO this weekend.  We ate a lot, went to Venice beach and the Ktown Night Market, as well as did a quick trip to the OC for my mom's birthday lunch.  I'm pooped!  Did you have a fabulous weekend?  Any fun activities for Easter?

Zoya's Earth Day promotion starts today, and I thought it would be nice to swatch a few Zoyas to help you decide which colors to purchase during the sale.  Last year I did a few swatches a well, which you should check out just in case you're wondering what shades to purchase.  Don't forget to check out the rest of my Zoya posts, which feature all finishes including the coveted Pixie Dusts.   Zoya never fails to amaze me with their perfect formula and smooth application.  The brush is on the thinner side, but it fans out easily to provide excellent coverage.  Gotta love those easy to organize bottles too!

First up is Zoya Lotus, a lovely dusty greyed out purple with a boatload of pink shimmer.  I used three coats here with no topcoat.  I love how the pink shimmer diffuses light!

Next up is Zoya Josie, a wonderful creme de menthe green.  Not an easy color to come by, and its got a lovely cream formula that's not streaky.  Three coats here with no topcoat.

 Finally today I have for you a lovely fuchsia pink with hidden silver shimmer.  I don't know about you, but I'm really feeling this shade of pink for this summer.  Again, three easy to apply coats here with no topcoat.

I chose these colors because I'm really enjoying these types of shades for the season.  They're not quite pastel but not quite neon either.  They rich, vibrant, and puts me in the mood to enjoy the refreshing spring air.  Zoya's Earth Day promo is the best time to take advantage of the sale to stock up on colors that you've been lemming all year, and a good time to recycle those old bottles that aren't getting any love.  Use promo code ZDAY2014 when checking out!
