Zoya Sunshine Week Part 6 - Zoya Faye

And now for the final polish from the Zoya Sunshine Collection, and I think I've saved the best for last, here is Zoya Faye: 

Even though I absolutely adore all the other polishes in this collection, there is something very special about Faye, a gorgeous red tinged mauve shade packed with golden shimmer, this one seriously flashes gold when it catches the light making it look very duochrome in effect. This is probably the most unique shade out of the collection. This was opaque in 3 coats.

I hope you've enjoyed these Zoya Sunshine collection swatches, definitely one of the best collections for the summer so far, these bottles literally look like they are packed with liquid sunshine!! next up: my easter manicure :D

Zoya Sunshine Week Part 5 - Zoya Reva

Happy Easter! I'm going to try and do an easter themed mani later today :D but first up Zoya Sunshine Week continues, so here is Zoya Reva, another red shade from the collection:

Zoya Reva is a deep berry red shade packed with gold and red shimmer, (the gold shimmer was a little hard to capture in these photos), like most of the shades in this collection, there is a real summery fruity feel to this polish! This was opaque at 3 coats, with a slightly thick consistency similar to the rest from the Sunshine Collection.

Zoya Sunshine Week Part 4 - Zoya Kimmy

Zoya Kimmy is the next polish from the Sunshine Collection, the first red from the collection.

Zoya Kimmy is a gorgeous cocktail of bright red with orange undertones, and that gorgeous sunshine golden shimmer that all polishes from Sunshine have, it really gives them all a very unique and special edge! Opaque at 3 coats. Although I'm not an avid fan of orange based reds, the shimmer in this one makes it stand above the rest, and is a very wearable summer shade! 

Some of the photos tend to make Kimmy a little more orange than she is in real life, the non flash natural light photo above is a better indication of the red tone in this polish, the golden sparkle is definitely more apparent in real life with this polish.

Zoya Sunshine Week Part 3 - Zoya Rica

Next up from Zoya Sunshine is the lovely Rica:

Zoya Rica is a gorgeous coral pink shade (a little more pink than the first and last photo the 2nd is most colour accurate) packed with a golden/copper sparkle, another one of my faves from this collection, I really love pink polishes with gold tones, there's something so pretty and summery about them! This was opaque in 3 coats.

Zoya Sunshine Week Part 2 - Zoya Tanzy

Next up in Zoya Sunshine week is Zoya Tanzy, a vibrant tangerine orange packed with golden shimmer particles, like all the polishes in this collection the golden shimmer really gives this polish a liquid sunshine effect making it perfect for the sunny weather!

This was opaque in about 3 coats, I guess if you're really fussy there would be absolutely no VNL at 4 coats, but I think it looks fine in three :) consistency wise this polish is more on the thick side, so its best to try and apply the coat as thinly as possible to get a nice even coverage. I'm loving this orange shade, I think it would look awesome with a tan, must get out in the sunshine a bit more :D

Zoya Sunshine Week Part 1 - Zoya Apple

First up thanks to everyone for the get well wishes, my thumb is doing a lot better, and I can actually put on polish :D horay, might be a little longer before I can tackle some Konading but I am hopeful :D

So the sun is beaming in ole London Town, and my set of Zoya Sunshine Polishes arrived a few days ago, so I thought it would be nice to do some back to back swatches from this gorgeous collection, and try to post a polish a day :)

The Sunshine Collection is one of the parts of Zoya's summer 2011 collection, (the other set is called Summertime and is packed with lovely creme shades), but as I cannot resist a bit of sparkle I opted for the Sunshine Collection, a very aptly named collection as each colour is packed with gorgeous golden sparkle. First up is the colour I was most excited about from this collection: Apple,

Zoya Sunshine - Apple

Zoya apple is a gorgeous cool toned emerald green absolutely packed with golden shimmer, which gives this a slight light/dark green duochrome effect. It looks stunning in the sunshine and is definitely one of the best from the Sunshine Collection. For some reason the consistency on all these polishes made me think of jelly, they are a little on the gloopy side but I had no problem with application, this was 3 coats, and I'm quite happy with the opacity :D
