Zoya Fire & Ice

Hellz to da yeah!

This collection is so totally completely awesome. At first sight I was very underwhelmed to say the least, but as I started looking the colors over more closely and swatching them I began to fall in love with every color more and more.

These polishes are so unique and almost impossible to describe but I'm going with "micro glitter glass fleck metallic bad assness" as my official status on the type of finish they are. It's really all about the formula and finish with this set of polishes. The colors are pretty boring and played out until you take a closer look and realize how complex and multidimensional they really are. These are basically the sparkles collection on steroids people. Even the seemingly boring reds are fabulous!

You really have to see these up close and personal to appreciate how gorgeous they are, but I have done my very best to capture their fabulousness in photos.

The only flaw I found with these incredible polishes is that they are pretty sheer. These are all 4 coaters with the exception of Valerie which took only 2. They are totally worth sitting through a 4 coat manicure but I recommend using this tip instead.

  1. Ithought that Valerie will be better, it is nice but not stunning. But now I think I want Gloria and Crystal -.-

  2. Those nail polish are really a reverse! Look how shiny they are in the shades and how dark they are in the sun (maybe with exception for Valerie) but anyways they are very "au contraire" :P beautiful nonetheless! *
