Now onto the Fleck Effects!  3 flakie glitters in a lightly tinted base.

Opal, 3 coats.  On the bare nail swatches I did a generous 3rd coat to help you see it better.  Opal is in a green base with green flakies.

 1 coat of Opal over black.

 Chloe, 3 coats.  I even liked this one on my bare nails because the pink is flattering.  I could totally see an interesting french mani with it too!

 1 coat of Chloe over black. Here you can see the different flakies, I like that there are multiple colors.

 Maisie, 3 coats.  I don't mind this one over my bare nails either.

 1 coat of Maisie over black.  While this is in a blue tinted base, over black this is pretty much identical to Opal with its green flakies.

A short video of me applying these.  Here is a direct link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1_2P2fs4rU

The formula is good, it's thick but not overly thick and goopy.  There isn't a need to manipulate the glitter, and I actually like to do a thick coat over black instead of 2 thin coats. My favorite is Chloe. :)

You can get this now at Zoya's website.

Sent to me for review.

Zoya's spring collection is called True.  It has 6 colors and they are also releasing 3 new flakie topcoats called Fleck Effects!  I will do a separate post on the flecks later.

Farah, 2 coats.  This is a nice lightly greyed beige creme.  The formula was smooth, creamy and opaque.

Cho, 3 coats.  A warmer nude color, this was very flattering for my skintone.  It has a white shimmer that makes it a little more interesting.  This was thin and watery, I needed 3 coats.

I decided after Farah to swatch the rest of the collection with a random Fleck Effect, so this one is paired with Maisie.

Bevin, 3 coats.  Dusty green creme.  This applied well just needed the 3rd coat for full opacity.

1 coat of Opal on top.

Skylar, 3 coats.  Dusty cornflower blue with a white shimmer.  It's a little more than a shimmer tho, more like something between a shimmer and glass fleck.

With 1 coat of Maisie.

Tru, 2 coats.  A deep, rich purple with multi-color shimmer of gold, pink and green.  My photos washed out the richness of the purple but imagine it being darker.

I thought this looked great with Chloe, 1 coat.

Lotus, 2 coats.  A dusty lavender with a pink shimmer.

I also paired this with Chloe, 1 coat.


I will have swatches of the Fleck Effects in their own post later so stay tuned. 

The formula for this collection was superb, with the exception of Cho which I thought was thin and streaky.  The rest applied very well. 

This collection including the Fleck Effects go on sale January 13th at Zoya.com.

Hope everyone had a nice holiday, I am on vacation so I'm enjoying my time off.  I'll be heading to Las Vegas for the weekend so won't hear much from me for a few days.  I will be back to work on the polishes when I get back tho! 

I'm wearing a red creme polish by Lancome for the weekend, I put it over a Shellac base/top coat and I hope it lasts chip-free.  We shall see, I will let you know the results!

I'll leave you with some random notds and whatever else I could find lol. 

 Cyber Monday shopping: Cult nails glass file and topcoat.

 Testing my new cookies and cream.  What do you think?  It's lumpy lol.

 Fruit tart I found at the grocery that looked so good!  well it WAS good lol.

 Ross loots.

Hmm I tried my first jelly sandwich with a I Hate Pink prototype and one of those Revlon jellies from the summer.  WHAT HAPPENED?!?!

 I check my Icing a lot for this and never found it.  Then one day I go in and decide to get all crazy and dig at the very back of the shelves, and guess what I found? 1 bottle. It totally looked like someone hid it, hah jokes on you can't hide from meeeeee!

 I mean look at this Wii mote, how cool is that?  Gold? Check.  Tri-force? Check.  How many hours lost on the couch? secret.

 Why doesn't CC label their Ross bottles? Fuuuuuuu!

 Croquettes are yummy.

 I made this with Costco food. Well except the avocado.  Cell phone pic.

I got $OPI 212 for my birthday last year, a long lemming gone!  Thank you Olivia! Oh and Eric.
