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).

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
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!!!!????
Hi Anie,
I get a ton of email and will have to check. Thanks for being patient and for the reminder!
LOVE dannii and jules! so pretty <3

Those two would make a good finger/toe combo!
I LOVE Zoya! I might be getting Jules, Caitlin and Gemma. Love them all 🙂

Awesome, Appu!
What Zoya colors are your faves?
Jules is calling my name! I don’t think I have any Zoya polishes. Do any stores sell them?
Hey girlie!
You can get ’em at spas and salons. Here’s the link:

Love love love “Dove”!!! Have you found many grey nail polishes that aren’t a shimmer finish?
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. 🙂
OOOO I must have them all.
I love these colors too, Flo!
i would like dove, gemma and jules! zoya is awesome! 🙂
Hi Nina!
Is it crazy that I want a dress and a pair of shoes to match Dove?
nopenopenope! 🙂
it would be totally awesome and to die for! 😀
They’d have to be platform peep toe pumps, of course. Maybe with a strap…
Lovely! Marley and Caitlin are really cool

Marley and Caitlin are both super pretty, right? They’re so springy. 🙂
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?
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!

I’ve never tried Zoya polishes before, but I think that Marley is beautiful. I love pastel colors. Caitlin and Dove are pretty too.
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. 🙂
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!
What colors did you get, Vanessa?
Oh my goodness I never thought to put olive green on my nails, but that color is just BEAUTIFUL!
Meghan recently posted … MAC eyeshadow dupes-NYX
Olive green actually looks really rad on nails! Try it sometime. 🙂
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
Hi Astha,
It’s like a creamy, dark periwinkle infused with gray. I’ve got it on now and really like it.
Jules reminds me of Butter London All Hail McQueen. SO pretty!
Yeah, kinda! 🙂
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
Hi Nena,
Definitely! I vote for trying a few of their creamy pastels. 🙂 They’re really smooth and so easy to apply.
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.
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!
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!
Thanks for the 411, Inday. 🙂
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
i like gemma and caitlin!

Gemma is super pretty. At certain angles it flashes to blue!
Loving Caitlin!
Tracy recently posted … Micelle Cleansers Are Fantastiques!
So cute, right?
Caitlin is the perfect creamy blue I’ve been looking after wearing putty greys for too long…thanks for sharing this post!
You’re welcome, Jen. 🙂
Oh, my heart is melting! I love all of these colors!
Stephanie recently posted … OPI Princesses Rule! and Hearts & Tarts
Glad you like this collection, Stephanie. 🙂
LOVE all of them, especially the cream finishes!
Jen recently posted … OCC Lip Tars in Melange and Clear- review- swatches- and a concoction!
Zoya creams are some of the best. 🙂
Caitlin is the standout for me. It’s like a greyish purple. LOVE it!
I also like Dove.
I love Dove, too. It’s nice to see a creamy grey that’s not flat!
Oooh I really love Gemma! It’s such a peaceful color 🙂
Makeup Morsels recently posted … Swatching Adventures with FACE atelier
That’s a good way to describe it. It’s even more beautiful in real life — at certain angles it flashes to blue!

Olga recently posted … Cant wait for warmer days to come
I love them too, Olga!
Danii, Jules, Caitlin & Gemma are beautiful. These colours are so wearable.
I know, right? Practically everything is a hit. 🙂
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.
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?
These are amazing colours. I love Gemma and Caitlin – really different and sophisticated!
Super pretty!
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!
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!
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”. 🙂
I love Zoya and these are really pretty colors!
Which Zoya colors are your faves?
These are super pretty!
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
