THIS JUST IN!
I received a delightful package just minutes ago! The ZOYA colors I ordered from that awesome giveaway have just arrived!
Here's what I ordered! From left: Pippa, Isla, Dree and Malia
... And here they are!
Pippa is a softer yellow than what I expected. She seems to be baby chick yellow as opposed to lemon yellow; probably for the best, much more wearable. Isla remains a mystery. I’ll have to wear her before I truly know. Malia is deeper than I expected, much less pastel, but I’ll have to see it on. And finally, Dree. In real life, Dree is truly olive, as in “the color of the olives I ask for in my martinis.” I think Dree will be best used with some Nail Artz. Hmm…
Oh! ZOYA sent a palette (visible in photo above) showing all 12 colors from their latest collection, plus their three new Fleck Effects. And a pamphlet with little dots of every single color they have. Oh, I love a good piece of collateral. Very nice giveaway, very nice package. And can we talk about speed? I only placed my order on January 6th! I am really impressed. One and a half weeks later, and here we are.
I am SO excited! The only bummer (I use “bummer” v. loosely) is that I have planned my nail color (which you know I update weekly) through the end of March… So we’ll have to wait and see how I end up using these unless I happen to coerce one of my friends into hand modeling again. 
How about y’all that took advantage of ZOYA’s promotion? Have yours arrived yet?
Wheeeee, GLOSS
Hey Francesca! Margot pointed me to your blog, and I absolutely love it.
I took part in the Zoya giveaway too, and my polishes turned up on Friday. Very exciting. I went with Dove and Edyta, and I’m quite pleased.
Keep up the good work!
I LOVE Dove. Very good color choices, Mariel. Though I’m not surprised; your nails were always lovely.
Thanks for supporting Le Blog!
