Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Pamela. Dark Imperial Purple Creme.
Found the perfect nail color for Halloween y'all!
Pamela is a vampy dark imperial purple creme that is packed with posh personality and a not-quite-but-almost black vibe that is perfect for my ladies who love dark but don't want to enter goth territory. You have to be careful applying this one, as it slightly stains around the nailbed if you aren't precise; but overall it's easy to work with, and an absolute stunner!

Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Vera. Bright Mulberry Creme.
Remember Daphne's dress from Scooby-Doo? This is 100% the nail polish reincarnation of it.
Vera is a bright mulberry creme that is one of the more playful shades I've seen for fall. It has a bright undertone that gives it a touch of flirtiness that feels fun as we fully transition from summer into autumn. Like the rest of this collection, the formula here was splendiferous. No chips, no tipwear, just a touch of fading of brightness after 5 days of wear - which is to be expected. Definitely one of my all-time favorite purples. Loves it!

Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Brynlee. Mulberry Creme.
Y'all this is the type of color that puts me 100% in the mood for fall!
Brynlee is a rich mulberry creme that is destined to look brilliant coupled with cognacs and cremes this autumn. Formula here was fantastic! It wasn't opaque enough to be a OCW; but two coats brought it to a truly elegant intensity. Staying power was masterful. Six days, no chips or tipwear. Grab it girls!

NGL, the summer was full of pinks, so I was more than ready for the arrival of ZOYA's Enamored Group B Bundle Nail Polish Collection. Ladies, this collection is full of exquisite colors coupled with one of the best formulas I have experienced in quite some time. Though it is very purple driven; there is enough variety to capture any girls heart. Trust. Let's jump into the swatches!

Twinklette is a Rose Gold Holo with Pink Microshimmer. Is it just me or is Twinklette giving The Great Gatsby vibes? Twinklette is an ultra-glam rose gold holo with pink microshimmer that channels the Gilded Age with its glorious sparkle; yet manages to remain an amped-up neutral with its soft tones. Twinklette would make a gorgeous topper to a shade like Brianna; but alone it is equally as gorgeous. Yes, removal was a tiny bit difficult {glitter obvi}; but the wear time was phenomenal. This is 2 coats.

One coat of ZOYA Nail Polish in Venus. Rose Red Shimmer with Scattered Holo.
There's something about this color that makes me think of Taylor Swift's Bejeweled? Idk, but I love it!
Venus is a rose red shimmer with scattered holo that is basically the most stunning thing ever. Like I literally could not stop staring at my nails during the 8 days I wore it. This polish blew me away. Not only is it a OCW, but it also had phenomenal staying power - not a single chip during the entire time I had it on. So obsessed - you have no idea!

Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Brianna. Toasted Pink Creme.
Sweater weather is incomplete without shades like this, so you know I'm squealing rn!
Brianna is a toasted pink creme that gives iced coffee meets ballet core vibes and i. am. here. for. it. NGL this one will look decadent coupled with cream-colored chunky knits and cognac riding boots. Formula here is perfection. It is the perfect consistency for a quick mani, and lasts up to 10 days chip-free. Highly recommend it to my neutral-loving ladies!

Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Alora. Bright Cranberry Creme.
We are now entering summer-into-fall transition shades.
Alora is a bright cranberry creme that screams almost autumn. Out of all of the shades in the Beachy Brights collection, this one does the least for me because I'm just not a fan of red/cranberry shades, and this falls into that category. That said, the formula for Alora is magnificent. It wasn't a OCW like I thought it would be; but application was seamless, and there was no staining, so I consider that a win.

Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Ora. Dark Blackberry Creme.
Vampy for spring should totes be a thing because I am loving it!
Ora is a dark blackberry creme that would be lush for fall into winter, but I'm actually digging the hint of dark for spring to summer manis. The formula for this one is super easy to work with - it doesn't gravitate to cuticles, and builds to a rich opacity easily. It does require 2 coats to avoid VNL, but they are fast dry and flawless. Highly recommend for year-round manis or pedis!

Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Marie. Violet Microshimmer.
Don't mind me, I'm over here swooning over how lush this lacquer shade is!
Marie is a vibrant violet microshimmer that brings on all of the summer vibes! Though I typically associate purple polish shades with fall, there is a brightness to this beauty that just creates summer feels! The formula here was so good - applying smoothly and drying in moments! If you love a good purple, this is the perfect one for this time of year!

Two coats of essie Nail Polish in Pencil Me In. Magenta Pink Creme.
NGL, as a kindergarten teacher, I love the name of this one!
Pencil Me In is a magenta pink creme that is essential for transitioning your tips from summer to fall! This one has a stunning formula that is utterly effortless to work with; with a staying power that is unmatched. If you're looking for a shade that will seamlessly convert from summer to sweater weather, this beauty is it!

Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Terra. Light Amethyst Purple Microshimmer.
Maybe I'm microshimmered out, but I just wasn't in love with this color. Womp womp.
Terra is a light amethyst purple microshimmer that flashes pink and is super pretty, don't get me wrong. My qualm with it is that it applies very sheer {I legit could have used a third coat!}, and by week's end there was a lot of chipping - despite the fact that I didn't use my hands anymore than usual. Highly recommend if you love the color; but don't expect long-term wear - it's more like a 3 days and you're done shade.

Two coats of essie Nail Polish in Topless & Barefoot. Beige Pink Nude Creme.
Y'all I have been coveting this shade for years, and it def lived up to my expectations!
Topless & Barefoot is a beige pink nude creme that gives me iced coffee vibes, which I am so here for because iced coffee is life! This one is creamy, and so incredibly easy to work with.
Though there was zero tipwear in a five-day period, I did find that, by day three of wearing, the pinky undertone kind of disappeared, creating more of a mannequin hands look, which I didn't expect. Still love it for tips and toes! It's definitely one of the prettiest nude-y shades out there!

Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Loni. Bright Salmon Coral Creme.
Y'all, I am in love with this color!
Loni is a bright salmon coral creme that feels straight from the 80s with its neon-esque glow and party vibes. I love this one so much because it's playful, flirty, and fun - and just feels splendiferous for summer. This one is perfect for a matching mani/pedi - obsessed!

One coat of ZOYA Nail Polish in Soraya. Ultra-Bright Fuschia Creme.
Purple is unquestionably a fall color; but let's take a moment to appreciate how utterly perfect this bad boy is for summer!
Soraya is an ultra-bright fuschia creme that brings all of the tropical vacay meets party vibes. This one is phenomenal! First, these pics were taken 3 days after application and they look flawless. Second, Soraya is a OCW - yes! Ladies, you need to get this one!

Three coats of Nailtopia Disney Collection Nail Lacquer in Minnie Mouse. White Creme.
Never have I ever met a white polish that I didn't adore. Trust.
Minnie Mouse is a crisp, clean, chic white creme that is pure perfection for year-round wear {you know you'll be catching me rocking it in all of the seasons!}. This one has a pretty good formula. NGL, it does require three coats for full opacity; but the wear-time is absolutely fantastic, which more than makes up for it. I love it so much!

Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Yohanna. Ultra-Bright Knockout Pink Creme.
In honor of Barbie hitting theaters this Friday, I had to pull this bad boy out for a little show and tell.
Yohanna is an ultra-bright knockout pink creme that is giving all of the Barbie vibes! Ladies, this color...I am obsessed! I'm not even a pink polish person, but this shade is simply sending me! Formula here was brilliant! It applied smoothly and dried ridiculously fast! This is one of my top picks for summer 2023 - and an absolute essential if you're looking to channel your inner Barbie!

Three coats of OPI Me, Myself, and I Nail Lacquer Collection in Spring Break the Internet. Hot Pink Microshimmer.
Barbie nails coming through!
Spring Break the Internet is a hot pink microshimmer that invokes all of the Barbie feels. NGL, though pink is my favorite color, I was not feeling this shade because I'm not the biggest fan of microshimmer, and the wear time was horrible! This one started chipping in less than a day, and required multiple touch-ups throughout the week that I wore it, which is no bueno. Not a fave. Womp womp.

NGL neons don't typically garner my affections, but when I opened ZOYA's Beachy Brights & Gelie Base Bundle I was in awe. Babes, this collection is stunning, with a variety of shades to please every polished princess. All 6 of these shades dry matte; however, you are seeing them here with top coat to bring on the shine because matte and I don't love each other. Side note: I did not use underwear {white polish} as a base for any of these shades; but doing so may amplify the neon. Just saying. Now let's move on to the swatches!

Pluto is a Carolina Blue Creme. Ooh babes I love me a good bright blue polish, and this beauty goes hard! Pluto is a Carolina blue creme that invokes all of the 4th of July meets crashing ocean waves vibes. This shade y'all, so. good. Pluto was just a hair shy of being a OCW, but there was a teeny tiny bit of VNL, so it did require 2 coats. Not a big deal at all considering how fast dry this entire collection is! If you love a good blue, you need this beauty ASAP! This is 2 coats.
