Zoya Summer 2018 Sunshine

I am so excited to share with you the Zoya Summer 2018 Sunshine collection! This is one of my favorite Zoya collections in a long time. I really love the gorgeous, really pigmented creams and the dazzling glitter/shimmer toppers. Let's play with the bright, sparkly, summery shades!

Zoya Ellie

Zoya Ellie is one of my favorites from this collection. It is not very unique, but because I love creamy, pigmented raspberry pinks, this is one of my most treasured polishes from this collection.

Zoya Saldana

Zoya Saldana is a glitter/shimmer topper, but can be worn by itself. It is described as "buildable, cotton-candy blue iridescent-holo topper with hints of pink and blue colored glitter with mega hex particles (whew!)". I love that it looks very fairy/mermaid-ish.

Zoya Delia

Since I love anything purple, Zoya Delia is right up my alley. It's described as a full coverage muted amethyst cream.

Zoya Missy

Zoya Missy is a pretty light carnation pink cream. Not very unique but still very girly and summery.

Zoya Sandy

Zoya Sandy is a blue-toned Barbie pink cream. It's a little darker than Sandy.

Zoya Karen

Zoya Karen is one of the best, if not the best, color in this collection. So gorgeous! This is a bright poppy red cream

Zoya Marigold

Zoya Marigold is a corally red with lots of gold micro-shimmer. Very summery and bright.

Zoya Virginia

Zoya Virginia is a very bright watermelon pink cream. This color is the quintessential summer color. Perfect for the toes as you lounge by the pool.

Zoya Minnie

Zoya Minnie is a pink-toned coral cream. This is very soft but makes my hands look really tan.

Zoya Clementine

Zoya Clementine is the shimmery version of Minnie. It is a salmony color with lots of shimmer.

Zoya Jack

Zoya Jack is a welcome respite from all the bright colors. It is your palate-cleanser if you want a toned down, very clean looking nail look.

Zoya Nahla over Zoya Jack

Zoya Nahla is a beautiful gold shimmer topper. As you can see, it looks amazing over Jack.

All in all, as I said, this is one of my favorite collections from Zoya in a long while. My favorites are Zoya Karen, Zoya Jack, Zoya Nahla, Zoya Delia, Zoya Missy.

The polishes are available as a set or individually for $10 a pop on Zoya.com and at fine salons nationwide.

Zoya Bridal Bliss Collection

Add caption

Bridal season is definitely upon us! What better way to celebrate love using soft, radiant, beautiful shades from the Zoya Bridal Bliss collection? I am really happy that Zoya came up with this collection, as brides and their entourage often look for wedding appropriate colors for their tips and toes. This little collection really gives brides and their bridesmaids a lot of options (and they can even have a mani-pedi session right before the wedding)!

Here are the swatches of the shades from the collection, and my thoughts on these.

Zoya Blu

Zoya Blu is my top favorite from this collection along with Zoya Brighton. It first launched in the 2013 Spring collection called Zoya Lovely. It is a beautiful pale baby blue cream.

Zoya Brighton

Zoya Brighton is so gorgeous! It's described as a holographic nude. I love how this makes the nails look so clean and pretty!

Zoya McKenna

Zoya McKenna is described as a refined pearl in soft almond. I really like the pearlescent sheen in this polish. It really elevates the look and I like how the soft almond shade really makes the nails look clean and soft. This is also a perfect office color.

Zoya Chantal

Zoya Chantal is best described as a French vanilla cream. It is a yellow-based nude. It also looks pretty on the nails and very chic.

Zoya Loretta

Zoya Loretta is a light beige with sheer cream finish. I am not a fan of this one because it's a little too sheer for my taste, but it looks really classy and clean.

Zoya Erika

Zoya Erika is a pretty light pink with lots of gold shimmer. This is definitely eye-catching and so feminine.

Zoya Bela

Zoya Bela is a ballet slipper pink in sheer creme finish. Reminds me of Essie Ballet Slippers, hence the description.

Zoya Avril

Zoya Avril is a beautiful soft pink with brown undertones. This would also make for a nice understated office mani.

Zoya Abby

Zoya Abby is one of my all-time Zoya faves. This is a beautiful light lilac cream. This is my go-to polish when I want an understated but clean and feminine shade.

Zoya Snow White

Zoya Snow White is self-explanatory. It's a beautiful white cream. I use this all the time as undies for sheer or holographic polishes, or just by itself.

All these colors are available on the Zoya website for $10 a pop. You are bound to find at least one perfect Zoya bridal color, whether you are the bride, the bridesmaid, or the guest.
