ZOYA Nail Polish

I never write reviews especially since this is my dad’s Amazon account but this polish impressed me so much! I wanted to get my nails done for my birthday next week but it was too expensive to justify. I suck at painting my own nails and I always hate the polishes I buy. I stumbled upon this one and saw good reviews so I bought and it is amazing! The color is potent on first coat it’s as dark and full coverage and glittery just like it is in the bottle. The brush it comes with is perfect size for smooth application! And it dries quickly! This is my new favorite nail polish brand and is definitely worth the $12. I’m so in love with it and will be buying more colors!

Such a beautiful color! It’s a soft feminine pink with a holographic yellow finish that feels so bright and cheery like the berry-meets-lemon taste of pink lemonade on my nails. I took this on vacation and did three coats while I lazed around on the morning of day 2. It seemed pretty sheer, but three coats was enough to make it nearly opaque, and it dried nice and quick. Many polishes seem to take longer with each coat, but this one dried first-coat-fast every time. It survived three Disney theme parks over four days with lots of digging through my mini backpack and not a moment’s thought to being delicate about anything. It’s been 12 days, and my nails still look shockingly good with only a couple tiny chips on one thumb and some rub-wear at the very tips of a couple others. I could get well over two weeks out of that quick morning manicure if I wanted to. This is my second experience with Zoya and I’m in love. And I want every single duo-chrome color now too!

Just what I was looking for. I wanted the soap nail look. Nice and clean and feminine. It is so pretty!It seems to last a long time. Well over a week. So easy to apply, it has great coverage and very little smell. I am very happy with my purchase.

I love Zoya polishes. They go on incredibly smoothly with a wide brush. This color is perfect! I was looking for a blue-based violet/ lavender and this is all that and more. It's a sheer lilac and really pretty color that goes with everything. It stays on for about 10-12 days without chipping at all. It does NOT streak! Hallelujah! I love products that work!

Pretty color and shine but not super durable.

I've been in the market for a nail polish with a bit of sparkles and this one fits the needs. I haven't worn it yet for I'm not due for a manicure for a while. Would recommend this company. I use all of their products.

The picture shows Dallas as white polish with black specks or dots. What I received is clear with white flecks. It’s nice polish but not the color I wanted or expected.

In the picture, I am wearing a Seche Clear base, 2 coats of Zooey, and 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat. I was able to start doing things within 20 minutes of application, and I was completely dry by the time I went to bed a couple of hours later.If you've ever used Zoya polishes before, then you know they are quality polishes. If you haven't ever used them before, then that's what you should know, and Zooey is no different.This is a textured polish, which I believe most, if not all of the polishes in their Pixie Dust line are. If you have never used a textured polish before, then you should know a few things about them: as the name implies, it is textured, so it dries bumpy. This can be a little weird if you are not used to or expecting it. The color itself is also a little matte, though the glitter continues to shine. I am wearing two coats of color, but it is pigmented and opaque enough that if you are really in a rush you could likely get away with just one coat of color if needed. If either the texture or the matte color are not your jam, you can address this easily with a good glossy top coat, but be aware you will need more than one to completely smooth out the surface (in my pic, I am wearing 2 coats of Seche Vite, which is good enough for my needs, but it is still slightly bumpy if I run my fingers over my nails. I would think you might need 3, or even possibly 4, top coats to get a truly smooth surface.)I personally like textured polishes for several reasons. First, my experience is these polishes tend to dry really quickly, so if you are in a time crunch, it's a great, high-impact go-to. I also find these types of polishes to be very forgiving - as you can probably tell, I have some wonkiness in my ring finger nail (where it fans out on the free edge, causing a little "dip" on the sides at the point where it leaves the nail bed, and this is a place where polishes LOVE to pool. Metallic/holo polishes almost never look good on my nails because between my still-developing painting skills and uneven nail plates, I just can't paint a straight line. Not a problem with textured polishes.) Lastly, I find these polishes tend to lend additional strength to my nails. I assume it is at least partly the glitter. But it is a nice reprieve from needing to use specific nail treatments, which tend to be limited in their colors (and possibly not even necessary, depending on the condition of your nails. Nail Envy and their ilk, and keratin nail treatments really should only be used short-term.)One of the cons of this polish (and any glitter polish, really) is you are really going to need an acetone remover (preferably pure) unless you want to spend hours trying to get it off. I personally don't have an issue with this as I tend to wear my polish for at least a week before I redo, and I regularly oil my nails and cuticles, so I am mostly able to deal with any dehydration caused by pure acetone, but this may be a consideration for some.A quick note: the picture on the listing is pretty true, though the description states "Zooey by Zoya can be best described as a classic pink, textured PixieDust laced with a fine thread of gold." If you are going by this description instead of the picture, you might be disappointed. This is absolutely a coral-based color, not what I think of when I think "classic pink with a fine thread of gold." I didn't deduct stars for this since I was hoping for what was in the picture, but would have also been happy with a color that was closer to the description. But it's something you should be aware of if you are looking for a specific color.
