The ZOYA Blogger Collection by Birchbox

Today I have for you guys the Limited Edition Zoya Blogger Collection by Birchbox! It's a collection of 3 polishes created with some top beauty bloggers by Zoya. I've personally never heard of these beauty blogs haha, but I don't read blogs that much - unless they're nail blogs ;]

The Zoya Blogger Collection by Birchbox

Want swatches and more jump over!
First off a warning, I've seen a few swatches since getting my box last week... Not sure how they get their polishes less sheer... haha but these are all done with 3 generous coats and my nail line is disgustingly visible. I'm not sure why Birchbox would suggest "apply one coat...for a wash of color", um your nails will look stained... not cute haha. Anyhow, here's the swatches ;]

First up is Coraline:

 Coraline, 3 coats

An orange jelly polish. ORANGE. Lots of orange and very jelly! Birchbox describes it as a juicy tangerine, which is perfect because that's how crazy orange it is!  It's a pretty color :] Coraline was inspired by Eleventh Gorgeous.

Next is Belle:

 

 Belle, 3 coats

Belle is a pink jelly packed with iridescent glitter/shimmer that flashes pink and orange! I think this is my favorite out of the trio, I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I do! This shade was by Capitol Hill Style.

Last is Kate:

 Kate, 3 coats

Kate is a very reddish-pink jelly. Birchbox's site describes it as a grapefruit pink - which now all I think about when I see this bottle is a ruby red grapefruit! Yum! I think this is my second favorite :] This polish was inspired by the blog The Small Things.

Now, these polishes... I need to play around with a bit. I bought them with the intention of making jelly sandwiches haha. These Zoyas are obviously layering polishes. Here are some layering that I did:

My jelly sandwich:

 Jelly Sandwich using Zoya Kate and Sally Hansen White Veil

 And then I layered Belle over Kate and Coraline:

 1 coat of Belle over Coraline

 

 1 coat of Belle over Kate

Overall I DO like these polishes, I'm not in love with them just yet but like I said before I gotta play with them a bit. My descriptions were short haha, they are jelly polishes - and that's about it! They did seem like they took a bit longer to dry than most Zoya polishes I own (50+). I'm toying with ideas in my head about layering over different polishes and glitters hmmm, the possiblities!

You can grab the limited edition Zoya trio here on Birchbox. It's $22 and ships for free! :] Get it while it's still available, theses super shiny jellies are pretty cool!

Until tomorrow,
Lacey
