But the pretty colours....
So Blaze, from their 2012 holiday collection, wasn't really on my radar. It was pretty, but nothing I was going to pay $10 for. In fact, I felt that way about the whole collection. And then I found a few of them in a hair salon's bargain bin(Seriously, this salon sometimes has the BEST STUFF in that bin!), priced at $2 a polish. And being that I have no self-control... They came home with me.
So Blaze is a raspberry polish(some say red, some say pink.. I say it's in between the two) with a scattered holo effect that makes it look really beautiful and deep in the right lights. It was really flattering on my skin tone and really pretty without being over-the-top.
I have on three coats, though you could get away with two. This picture was taken about.. 8 hours into wearing it? And there's already tip wear happening. I'm not so nuts about that. That shouldn't be a thing. Come on, Zoya.
Did you guys pick up any of the Zoya Holiday 2012 polishes?
I have the same issue with Zoya.. tip wear after just a few hours is no fun. such a shame too because I do love their colors.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pitty that you got the tip wear so quickly, but the colour is stunning and it looks great on you! :-)
ReplyDeleteI bought all of the holiday collection polishes except the silver bar glitter one. I just wore Aurora, the purple holo glitter, for four days. I would have worn it longer, but I broke a nail :(
ReplyDeleteDo you use base and top coat? I bought the zoya anchor & armor ones, but I didn't find they lasted any longer than a regular base & top coat combo. Any nail polish I wear without base and top chips within a few hours on me.
I'm not a Zoya fan but I wonder if the Orly bonder would help? I did however purchase the Halo Hues that you posted, they are impressive! amazon was reasonable:)
ReplyDeleteI picked that one up too along with Storm, Logan, and Ziv but haven't used them yet. I am currently wearing Robyn and it still looks as good now as when I first painted them. I use Seche Vite fast dry top coat and I believe it really does help all my manis from tip wear and chipping and it gives them a professional done in the salon look.
