If you’ve yet to get your fill of purple, this spring’s prince of the color-sphere, feast your eyes on the sweet new shades in Zoya’s Intimate Collection ($7 each; available in six colors).
Polishes from the left: Dannii, Jules and Caitlin

These make me want to play dress-up…like I should be wearing a floral print dress with sky-high pumps as I sport them on my nails.
And for some reason I can seem them going well with the Laura Mercier’s Silk Road Collection…
I only just put these on, so I can’t speak to wear time yet, but the other Zoya polishes I’ve tried resist chips and fading exceptionally well, especially when worn with the Color-Lock System (THE BEST!).
If you’d like give these a try, you can find them online at zoya.com. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
AnieJ says
Oh cool, my faves are Caitlin, Dove and Marley, and I don’t have a lot of the milkier nail colors (more shiny and dark etc). Will definitely check these out! Did you get my part2 e-mail about the Shimmering Facial Whip post? Hope it didn’t go to your spam box again!
Who’s ready for FRIDAY!!!!????
Karen says
Hi Anie,
I get a ton of email and will have to check. Thanks for being patient and for the reminder!
dani@callitbeauty says
LOVE dannii and jules! so pretty <3
Karen says
Those two would make a good finger/toe combo!
Appu says
I LOVE Zoya! I might be getting Jules, Caitlin and Gemma. Love them all 🙂
Karen says
Awesome, Appu!
What Zoya colors are your faves?
Tiffany says
Jules is calling my name! I don’t think I have any Zoya polishes. Do any stores sell them?
Karen says
Hey girlie!
You can get ’em at spas and salons. Here’s the link:

Rachael says
Love love love “Dove”!!! Have you found many grey nail polishes that aren’t a shimmer finish?
Karen says
Hi Rachael,
For spring, not really. A lot of the lines have been releasing darker grays with shimmer. I loooove this color to pieces, too, btw. 🙂
Flo Augustin says
OOOO I must have them all.
Karen says
I love these colors too, Flo!
Nina says
i would like dove, gemma and jules! zoya is awesome! 🙂
Karen says
Hi Nina!
Is it crazy that I want a dress and a pair of shoes to match Dove?
Nina says
nopenopenope! 🙂
it would be totally awesome and to die for! 😀
Karen says
They’d have to be platform peep toe pumps, of course. Maybe with a strap…
Alexandra says
Lovely! Marley and Caitlin are really cool
Karen says
Marley and Caitlin are both super pretty, right? They’re so springy. 🙂
Patty says
Karen, I am lusting after Caitlin (and possibly Jules) HARD. I have to ask, though: your nails look great, do you use anything to keep them long?
Karen says
Hi Patty,
I try to be careful with them (I don’t bite them, or use them to open up Tabs’ gravy cans, LOL!). I also wear a good base and top to prevent splitting and breaking.
Oh — every night I apply a cuticle/nail moisturizer by Burt’s Bees. It’s cheap, smells good and works great!

Lala says
I’ve never tried Zoya polishes before, but I think that Marley is beautiful. I love pastel colors. Caitlin and Dove are pretty too.
Karen says
Hey Lala,
I have a crush on Marley too. Sometimes I have trouble with creamy pastels but that color is actually really easy to apply. 🙂
Vanessa says
I got in on the 3 free deal at the start of the month and I LOVE Zoya polishes! I have noticed that their creme colors are easier to apply and last longer than the shimmer finishes though. I got six of their polishes and can’t wait to get more!
Karen says
What colors did you get, Vanessa?
Meghan says
Oh my goodness I never thought to put olive green on my nails, but that color is just BEAUTIFUL!
Karen says
Olive green actually looks really rad on nails! Try it sometime. 🙂
Astha says
I am really liking this collection, and since I don’t have a lot of pastels, these would be great. Really liking dove, marley and gemma ( that olive color yum!). I have a question: is caitlain a grey or a muddier lilaic or slate blue? My eyes are deceiving and I can’t tell or maybe its rad colour that looks different in different lights
Karen says
Hi Astha,
It’s like a creamy, dark periwinkle infused with gray. I’ve got it on now and really like it.
Erin says
Jules reminds me of Butter London All Hail McQueen. SO pretty!
Karen says
Yeah, kinda! 🙂
Nena says
I’m not feeling this collection. I got a color plate thing in my most recent Zoya order and the only color I really liked was Danii. Then again, I usually stick to pinks, reds, purples, and blacks. So maybe I just need to branch out lol
Karen says
Hi Nena,
Definitely! I vote for trying a few of their creamy pastels. 🙂 They’re really smooth and so easy to apply.
SaraJane says
How funny. Just a few hours ago I heard of Zoya for the first time when I was surfing the web looking for nail polish that’s safer for pregnant women. I love these colors! I’m definitely going to have to order some. If they ship to Canada, that is.
Karen says
Hi SaraJane,
I just checked the site and unfortunately they don’t ship to Canada. 🙁
You still might be able to find a nearby salon that carries the line, though, with the Spa & Salon Locator on the Zoya website.
Good luck!
Inday says
Hi SaraJane!
In case it didn’t come up in your search, Scotch Naturals are a fantastic alternative to regular polishes – they’re water-based and toluene, dibutyl phthelate, formaldehyde, acetone, heavy metal free (whew! that was a mouth full!) The formula’s a little on the thin side but it’s completely workable and just give it a little extra time to dry, even with a fast dry topcoat. Scotchnaturals.com ships to Canada but you can also try http://www.raspberrykids.com which is based in Canada and perhaps save on shipping fees.
Hope this helps!
Karen says
Thanks for the 411, Inday. 🙂
SaraJane says
Awesome, Thanks for that Inday! I definitely can’t live without cute toenailss this summer. I won’t be able to see them soon, anyway. haha
AshBash says
i like gemma and caitlin!
Karen says
Gemma is super pretty. At certain angles it flashes to blue!
Tracy says
Loving Caitlin!
Karen says
So cute, right?
Jen in VA says
Caitlin is the perfect creamy blue I’ve been looking after wearing putty greys for too long…thanks for sharing this post!
Karen says
You’re welcome, Jen. 🙂
Stephanie says
Oh, my heart is melting! I love all of these colors!
Karen says
Glad you like this collection, Stephanie. 🙂
Jen says
LOVE all of them, especially the cream finishes!
Karen says
Zoya creams are some of the best. 🙂
Nicole O. says
Caitlin is the standout for me. It’s like a greyish purple. LOVE it!
I also like Dove.
Karen says
I love Dove, too. It’s nice to see a creamy grey that’s not flat!
Makeup Morsels says
Oooh I really love Gemma! It’s such a peaceful color 🙂
Karen says
That’s a good way to describe it. It’s even more beautiful in real life — at certain angles it flashes to blue!
Prachi says
Such pretty shades.Love Jules…
I am hooked to your blog Karen……I guess I visit your blog more then you..Just stumbled upon it 2 days ago..lol..
Karen says
Hi Prachi,
It’s nice to meet you! 🙂
Olga says
these colors look great!!
xx Olga
Karen says
I love them too, Olga!
Fieran says
Danii, Jules, Caitlin & Gemma are beautiful. These colours are so wearable.
Karen says
I know, right? Practically everything is a hit. 🙂
Tammy says
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Zoya. Definitely in my top 3 favorite nail polish brands (I’m wearing Edyta right now, soooo gorgeous). I can’t wait to get this entire collection.
Karen says
They’re kind of awesome, although I wish the brush was a little easier to use (feels too thin to me).
What are your fave Zoya colors?
Paintthetownscarlet.wordpress.com says
These are amazing colours. I love Gemma and Caitlin – really different and sophisticated!
Karen says
Super pretty!
Kim says
I’m just not feeling the purple (esp with the green and gold) yet. I’m sure I’ll be changing my tune when spring rolls around, though!
Karen says
I forget sometimes that you live so far away from me and that where you’re at is freezing cold. I feel like we’re neighbors, LOL!
Kim says
It’s funny you say that, because I felt the same way when I saw the green outside your window in one of the pics last week. My first thought was “this can’t be an older picture from the summer because the polish is new… oh, yeah, California”. 🙂
Scientific Housewife says
I love Zoya and these are really pretty colors!
Karen says
Which Zoya colors are your faves?
Van says
These are super pretty!
Lauren says
i love caitlin, marley, dove and jules! i bought some zoya polishes earlier in the month and they are fading and chipping sooner than some of my drugstore polishes! even with seche vite top coat! that color lock system may be the answer to my problems. or a better base coat x.x
