ZOYA Lovely Spring Collection 2013 On the Nail Swatches & Review!

Okay, so earlier, I had a post about the swatches and bottles of the new ZOYA Lovely Spring 2013 Collection, but this is the real deal. What they look like ON the nail. This is super important because sometimes you don't get the same payoff on the plastic wheel that you do in real life. So without further ado (P.S. these photos were taken BEFORE I had my lightbox fixed, all will be taken in there now):

2 coats of Piaf. Something about all of ZOYA's polishes is that they all go on smooth as can be. I'm very impressed with the quality of their products. I know you can't tell in the picture, but this is a shimmery polish. It has some silver shimmer into it. One thing I don't like about this, GieGie and Julie is that the shimmeryness (once again...not a valid word in the dictionary, but in mine it is ;)) stays on after taking the polish off. I really don't like that, because my fingers are all shimmery and shiny afterwards, not just my nails.

2 coats of Gie Gie. This is another one of the shimmery polishes. I expected this color to be a little brighter, like in the bottle, instead it came out a very pale, nude color. It's still gorgeous nonetheless :)  This polish was actually a little thinner than the others in the collection, if I would have worn this out, I would have done 3 coats just to be on the safe side.

2 coats of Julie. What a beautiful shade of purple, huh? I can't get over this color, and I'm so excited to actually wear it and not just swatch it. It being the last shimmer polish in the collection, I'd have to say that the added shine and shimmer works very well in it's favor. This is without a top coat by the way. The formula was good, but if I were wearing it out, I might do 3 coats just to be on the safe side.

2 coats of Jacqueline. Okay, so this was the polish I was very confused about, and actually still am. However, I'm infatuated with it...it's such a gorgeous, pale color. I'm still not sure the actual color, because on here it looks pale pale green. I just don't know...it's still a good creme, spring color :) I did do 2 coats, but really could have gotten away with 1.



 

2 coats of Blu. Such a gorgeous, gorgeous creme blue color. I'm so in love with creme polishes, but with light blue and mint green colors as well. I know this will be one of my go-to's for spring. The formula was awesome as usual, and although I did 2 coats, I could have gotten away with 1.  That's one thing I like about ZOYA's creme polishes, the opacity is fantastic.

2 coats of Neely. This is my baby, my signature color. Any mint green polish, I must own. I think I have about 6 or 7 different brands of mint green polish. The color is just beautiful. The formula is perfect, I used 2 coats but could have used 1. This is a color that I wear all year long, I'm just so obsessed with it. It's gorgeous. I can't say that enough, and the creamy factor reminds me of Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream...maybe I'll add some Zebra Kisses by Laquerlicious to it... hmm ;)
