Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Lolly. Pastel Candy Pink Creme.
Let's get straight to the bottom line: this is the Barbie shade you need for spring 2026.
Lolly is a pastel candy pink creme that bridges the gap between sweet and sassy. The blue undertones make her ideal for the sunny seasons; and her formula will have you dancing the night away. Two coats is all you need for opacity; and this beauty is virtually bulletproof after a mere swipe of top coat (think no chips, no tipwear, and no dulling for days upon days). Def the perfect choice for your next vacay!

Three coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Lavender. Sheer Lavender w/ Opalescent Light.
Understated yet soooo pretty, amiright?!
Lavender is a sheer lavender w/ opalescent light that gives nails a hint of color while providing nails with built-in treatment to strengthen and heal. This is a shade that is meant to just conceal imperfections {think of it like a tinted moisturizer for your nails}; but with multiple coats, can add a spring-perfect look to fingeretips. Lavender lasted 7 days with no chips or tipwear, and truly felt so fresh and fun for the week. Love it!

Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Arden. Icy Aqua Mint w/ Subtle Shimmer.
Babes, this is legit one of my top 3 favorite polishes of 2026!
Arden is an icy aqua mint w/ subtle shimmer that is so mermaid coded, I literally cannot! This one fulfills my mint polish obsession whilst adding a kick of Cinderella vibes given the blink and you'll miss it shimmer. While she looks thin, Arden applies with perfect opacity in two easy breezy coats, and truly makes you look tan (even if you're a pale girly like moi). Love her sm!

Three coats of OPI The New OPIcons Spring Nail Lacquer Collection in Put it in Airplane Mode. Nude Brown Creme.
A girl can never have too many your nails but better shades in her collection.
Put it in Airplane Mode is a nude brown creme that invokes visions of the perfect iced coffee. It's subdued yet stunning given its understated elegance. This one is v sheer upon application, so multiple coats is necessary for opacity; however, it dries fast, and stays intact for days upon days. Highly recommend if you love a classic nail!
Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Lila. Pastel Lilac Creme.
So much yes to this color!
Lila is a pastel lilac creme that brings all the spring vibes! I am truly obsessed with this color. It manages to be both muted and bright at the same time, and is just so fantastically feminine and cutie. This one dries matte, but one swipe of top coat will bring the gloss. Highly recommend if you're a purple polish girly!

Three coats of Olive and June Long Lasting Polish in Atlas. Pearlized White.
Y'all know white polishes are my jam, but this beauty is truly giving me life!
Atlas is a pearlized white that shimmers and shines but also feels perfectly neutral. Though pearlized shades have never been a fave of mine, this bad boy right here is changing my opinion. Formula for Atlas is beautiful and so easy to work with. I wanted a v opaque finish, which is why I went with 3 coats, but you can def sheer this one out by using one or two coats. Highly recommend this cutie - especially if you love long lasting, because this one survived with no chips or tipwear for 7 days.
Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Winona. Muted Berry Creme.
I love this color! Like she may be one of my all-time ZOYA faves!
Winona is a Muted Berry Creme that feels like a literal sugarplum come to life! A bridge between mauve and berry in hue, Winona will satisfy the taste of my pink or purple-loving ladies, offering a pretty something to both parties. Formula was, as expected, beautiful to work with; and remained lovely to look at for more than 5 days. Love this one for fall through spring!

If you love a classic nail color then OPI's The New OPIcons Spring 2026 4-Piece Mini Pack was basically made for you. It includes ipdated versions of four of their bestselling classic shades, in bite-size bottles that make it a breeze to amp up your mani.
Bathtime Bubbly is a Pink Creme. When I tell you this may be the prettiest pink polish I've ever met...Bathtime Bubbly is a pink creme that leans ever so slightly peach, giving her a fresh feel for spring. This one applies v sheer, so you do need at least 3 coats to bring her to full opacity; but it is well worth it! If you love a great pink, definitely don't skip this beauty! This is 3 coats.
OPI'm a Bubble Bunny is a Sheer Milky Pink. I'm a sucker for any pinky white-leaning nail color, so of course I fell hard for this beauty. OPI'm a Bubble Bunny is a sheer milky pink that gives off strong ballerina vibes due to how demure and dainty the color is. This is one of my favorite shades from this collection; and despite requiring multiple coats for this much opacity {obvi it is v sheer}, it was so worth it for how minimalist yet beautiful it truly is. Loves it! This is 3 coats.
Big Apple Energy is a Red Shimmer. NGL I love a playful red shade for spring, and this one does not disappoint! Big Apple Energy is a red shimmer with a hot pink undertone that makes her feel more youthful than her more mature basic blue-toned red, making her ideal for warm weather jaunts. Though she gives jelly vibes in the bottle, application is 100% opaque perfection, and a creamy consistency. Love this one for love month or summer vacay! This is 2 coats.
Put it in Airplane Mode is a Nude Brown Creme. A girl can never have too many your nails but better shades in her collection. Put it in Airplane Mode is a nude brown creme that invokes visions of the perfect iced coffee. It's subdued yet stunning given its understated elegance.

This is 3 coats.
Two coats of essie Nail Art Studio Special Effects in Gilded Galaxy. Blush Chrome.
NGL, the subtlety of this shade is literal chef's kiss.
Gilded Galaxy is a blush chrome that gives off a romantic frosted pink hue that was unexpected yet oh so loved. While chromes don't typically top my nail polish favorites list, this one feels cozy and unique, and will definitely please the pink lovers seeking a more understated rose shade. This one was v easy to work with, and looks so stunning sparkling on your tips. Love this one for winter especially; but it could easily please year-round.
Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Navy. Inky Midnight Navy Creme.
There's just something about a navy nail that brings all of the understated elegance.
Navy is an Inky Midnight Navy Creme that is devastatingly elegant. It manages to be both vampy and posh whilst still retaining its winter weather cozy perfection. Formula was fantastic. While I did go with 2 coats to bring out the richness of the shade, this could have easily been a ocw. Highly recommend if you're seeking a rich shade for the chilly season.

Two coats of Olive and June Long Lasting Polish in Secret Recipe. Blue-Toned Red Creme.
This is only my second time using Olive and June, but oh! I think I'm obsessed!
Secret Recipe is a blue-toned red creme that was made for the red-toned holidays (Christmas, Valentine's Day, you get what I mean). While the color is rich and sumptuous in shade, however, what's even more impressive is her weartime. Babes, Olive and June was not lying, this polish lasts forever with nary a chip or hint of tipwear. It is the quintessential low-maintenance polish, and I cannot recommend it more!
Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Samara. Dusty Mauve Creme.
Isn't she gorgeous?!
Samara is a Dusty Mauve Creme that is such a beauty for the fall through winter months as she will pair brilliantly with all of your cognacs and winter whites. This one applied fairly light on coat one, but really built up to this stunning depth after a second coat was applied. I absolutely love this one in place of basic pinks and purples for the chilly season.

Three coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Khione. White Overlay w Pink Reflect.
If you were to bottle snowflakes, I imagine this nail polish would be the end result.
Khione is a White Overlay w Pink Reflect that is stunning if you love a shifter as it flashes from yellow/gold to pink to platinum depending on your current lighting. This one would look gorgeous as a topper over a creme shade; however, worn on its own (as seen here) is just jaw-dropping. Formula was brilliant - I did use 3 coats for true opacity and glamour; but two coats will give you almost perfect coverage. Loves it!

Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Daphne. Smoky Blue Velvet Creme.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that shine? Stunning!
Daphne is a Smoky Blue Velvet Creme that invokes visions of Scooby Doo's Daphne. I'm not usually a fan of purple nail shades, but this one just feels like wintry splendor. This one had a phenomenal formula with results that stayed intact for over 7 days. If you love something unique, this gorgeous girl def fits the bill!

Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Bari. Rose Terracotta Creme.
I love a good your nails but better shade that gives a little latte feel.
Bari is a Rose Terracotta Creme that gives a strong naked nails vibe, but with a hint of warmth that creates a uniqueness all its own. Bari would, obviously, make a splash year-round due to her versatility; but I love her for the autumn or spring months due to the hint of iced coffee color she possesses. Such a lovely choice if you dig a classic color with a little kick!

As promised, here is the second half of ZOYA's Muse Fall 2025 Collection. This set of 6 brings all of the cozy, cute, coquette vibes that I, for one, love for the chillier months. Take a peek below.
Zarin is a Rose Gold Glitter. As a pink girly I can never resist a good rose gold, and this beauty does not disappoint! Zarin is a Rose Gold Glitter that giggles and dances on your fingertips what with her shimmer and sparkle and shine that is simply impossible to resist. This one feels absolutely perfect for winter; yet maintains a neutrality through its subtle demeanor that would have her fitting seamlessly into all seasons. Two coats gives you full opacity; but if you want to go even deeper, a third coat would likely bring out the pinky tones a bit more. Love this beauty for December into January! This is 2 coats.
Winona is a Muted Berry Creme. I love this color! Like she may be one of my all-time ZOYA faves! Winona is a Muted Berry Creme that feels like a literal sugarplum come to life!

Velma is a Sienna Red Creme. Every single time I say the name of this nail color I think of Velma from Scooby Doo. But I digress...Velma is a Sienna Red Creme that is just lush for the autumn months. I lovelovelove this shade for November and the season of giving because it truly bottles one of the most beautiful shades for fall, and presents it in polish form. Velma has such incredible longevity - even with working a lot with your hands, this shade received nary a chip or even tipwear, remaining almost perfect for the 6 days that I wore it. If you're seeking a fall red, Velma is your girl. This is 2 coats.

Hebe is a Rosy Beige Nude Creme. This is one of those shades that is ultra-feminine and soft yet manages to seamlessly fit into the chill of fall. #iykyk. Hebe is a Rosy Beige Nude Creme that is stunning for the girls who love a demure shade to pair with their cognac riding boots and chunky knits. Though more pink than white, this one is incredibly angelic, and gives the perfect accent to a your nails but better look. Hebe's formula is flawless, applying immaculately, and lasting for 5+ days. If sweet is your style, this is the one you need to snag! This is 2 coats.
Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in West. Pine Creme.
Le sigh. This color brings all of the winter feels.
West is a Pine Creme that feels so lush for cozy winter nights, decking the Christmas tree with family, or traipsing through town on holiday shopping sprees surrounded by twinkling white lights. The shade is deep and dusky, oftentimes taking on a deep teal hue in certain lights; with a formula that is top notch. I wore this beauty for 8 days and it showed 0 signs of chips or tipwear - exactly what you want in a mani during the busy holiday season. So highly recommended!

a gentle reminder that while 2025 held moments of joy and laughter, it also carried pain and loss. it’s okay if your year contained both—that’s what real balance looks like. it’s okay if what you learned is that some things don’t mend, no matter how hard you try to fix them. it’s okay if your biggest realization was that life doesn’t always follow your plans, even when you thought you did everything right. and it’s okay if you’re still moving through hard days, searching for lighter ones ahead. if 2025 felt overwhelming, messy, and full all at once—then you lived it honestly. you did enough. ilysm. <33
