A First Impression: Zoya Nail Polish

Zoya. Interesting name, interesting nail polish. I always refrained from purchasing any 'higher end' nail polishes due to the fact that they are so expensive, but when I was shopping in one of my favourite stores Winners (the canadian equivalent to Ross) and found this nail polish for a deal, $6.99, much better in my opinion that the usual 9-12$ from most drug stores. I jumped on the opportunity and picked up the Zoya nail polish colour in Storm.



This colour is intriguing, it is still on trend with the dark colour nails, but it isn't as harsh with the small gold flecks mixed in. A problem with having fair skin and small nails, is that dark polish makes the nails look even smaller and un even, resulting in the fact that I have avoided dark polish like the plague.

Surprisingly, I think I have found a new polish to call my number one favourite. I am in love with this polish colour, it is the polish for pale skin and small nails. The brush is my favourite type of brush, as I've mentioned my nails are very small so wide brushes aren't my friend, the small brush is just the cherry on top.


It takes 2 coats to get to medium opaqueness, which is enough to wear, and three coats to get it to its full and true colour. The polish dries fast and isn't sticky or tacky, once it's dry, it's dry.



Another interesting factor to this polish is that it is formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate and free and is a camphor free formula, now as many of you, I am just as unaware of what these words mean as you are- but the less chemicals the better I guess. My nails are particularly fragile, so we will see how this effects my not so lovely bed of nails.






Overall if I ever come across another Zoya nail polish in Winners, I will be sure to pick it up. In my opinion, this is the polish for small and short nails, from the colour to the brush. This polish has impressed me, and given me hope in dark colours for those trying to camouflage their nails to step into a new world, a darker one and to try a new range of colours- at least for me.
