Zoya Sunshines Part Two, Meet My Newest Love

A couple of days ago on Twitter, @KimberlyisHere from Libby's Pink Vanity and I briefly discussed how we like to say we would "marry" a polish. Now, you know I recently said that about Zoya Dannii and then Zoya Kieko, but now I think I've changed my mind again. I have a new love... read on to find out the identity of my betrothed.

Zoya Rica

Zoya Rica

First up in this half of the Zoya Sunshine collection is Zoya Rica. What a gorgeous polish this is. It is definitely what I think of when I hear the word "coral", a mix of pink, orange, and red tones, with tons of gold sparkle. Zoya described it as a "Warm light coral with pink and orange tones and heavy gold metallic sparkle. An alternative to flat corals for when you want to shine." That last part is really an interesting point. I feel that most of the corals I own are cremes! I can't think of a single coral shimmer/sparkle polish (off the top of my head)! Coral is a huge color this summer, as I think it is every summer, and Rica is the perfect way to try out the trend.

This is three coats of Rica and I thought it covered quite nicely. You can see some VNL in direct sunlight, but it is not visible anywhere else. Nice, typical Zoya application. I really loved this color in person, and while my photos are pretty color accurate, they don't capture all of the fiery-ness of the gold sparkle.

Zoya Faye

Ummm hai... willz you marryz me?

Zoya Faye

Yes, folks, another Zoya purple has captured my heart. I'm proud to introduce you to Zoya Faye, my new wife. Zoya describes Faye as "A bronzed mauve with purple and brown undertones flooded with gold sparkle." This is an accurate description, but they left out words like AMAZING, LOVE, LOOKS LIKE HEAVEN, you know, little things like that. This is unlike any other purple polish I've ever seen. The gold sparkle is so strong it's almost like a duochrome effect.

This is three coats of Faye, but seriously, I would do any number of coats to get this color. But luckily, it only took three. Great application, fabulous color. I will wear this year round, no question about that. Faye has made me forget about Dannii and Kieko and has me contemplating buying a back-up. Seriously.

Zoya Kimmy

Finally we have Zoya Kimmy. Kimmy is the second most pigmented polish in the Sunshine collection (following Reva). This is only two coats! Zoya described Kimmy as "Gleaming metallic candy apple red brightened by gold sparkle." I think Kimmy has a good hint of orange in it though. Especially when you compare it with Reva, you can really see the orange in Kimmy. I love this color, the gold sparkle really makes it different than other shimmering reds that I already own.

Same nice smooth application in this one and like I said, nicely pigmented at two coats.

Overall, I REALLY like these three polishes. Faye is like a 45/10, and Kimmy and Rica are both 10/10. Combine that with the 8.5 I gave the first three Sunshines, and you have a nice 9.25/10 for the Zoya Sunshine collection. If you only get one of these, get Faye. I think you should just get them all though! The gold sparkle in these is SERIOUS and it sets these polishes apart from any others I own. I can't think of a single dupe. Other polishes might come close color-wise, but they lack they "crammed full of gold" effect that the Sunshine collection has.

The Zoya Sunshine collection is available online at Zoya.

These polishes were sent to me by a PR agent for Art of Beauty. For more information, please see my Disclosure Policy.
