Sorry for the quick post ya'll. It's been a bit hectic in my life right now. A really good friend of mine passed this last week, so I haven't really been focusing on much. But, I needed a happy color and this one suited me just fine!
Zoya Sienna is a really yummy orange shimmer. This polish is pretty comparable to China Glaze's Orange Marmalade and has a very similar glass fleck appearance. I did 3 coats to completely rid myself of visible nail line.
Hopefully, everyone is having a good week. I'll post more when I can.

So after the lovely pre-marriage bliss that was my first Sparkle post, this could be considered the honeymoon post. I think? Yeah, I've probably lost my marbles, but it's all out of love. Imagine cool blue tropical waters and these colors on your hands....
3 coats
Oh, Charla. This is one polish that would represent a honeymoon. It's such a beautiful turquoise-y blue with fine iridescent shimmer that looks like the sun hitting tropical waters. I actually ran into a wall while swimming laps one day because I could not stop gaping at this polish.
3 coats
Mimi is a purple that wants to be seen. It is far brighter than my photo depicts. The fine pink and silver shimmer add so much depth to this polish. I wish my photo did it justice!!
3 coats
I imagine Ivanka being a shimmering piece of green seaweed on a hot white sand beach. Boy, this post really tells a good deal about me, huh? This is such a vibrant happy green and the fine flecks of shimmer only make it that much better.
There you have it folks. How could I resist wanting to be with Zoya Sparkle forever? I promise I'll be loyal and true! Ok...well...maybe until the next Zoya collection comes out ;)

I've never really wanted to marry a nail polish, but Zoya has made me want to marry an entire collection (possibly a bottle of remover as well). I can picture it now....Zoya Sparkle and I will play in the sunshine and watch our little sparkle babies scamper in the grass.
Ok, I'm being creepy. On with ze photos!
2 Coat
I'm still choosing to pretend that Alegra has two L's in it and was named after me. I shouldn't be such a jerk because this polish deserves nothing but praise. This polish is a much more vivid, bright magenta that what my picture depicts. It's a jelly base with a mix of superfine pink and clear sparkles.
3 coats
Gilda, you saucy minx you. I shun pink, but how can I resist your bright pink hue and fish scale type glitter? You're right, I can't
2 coats
Nihdi stops me dead in my tracks. For all the smack talking I do about reds, this was smacked me back HARD. This polish has quite a dense base color that I was not expecting. Also, instead of matching red glitter it had flecks of gold and fine silver shimmer throughout it.
I cannot help but love all these colors and they are not my usual cup of tea. Stay tuned for Part II and the rest of the Sparkle lovelies!

Since there is no such thing as too many green polishes, I figure why not post some! Just call me Alan GreenSPAM.
This lovely is Rimmel Camouflage. It's a beautiful green with a golden shimmer to it. The bottle says it'll be good in one coat, but I didn't find that to be the case. This here is two coats! A great St. Patrick's Day color!
Zoya Suvi, is a great blackened deep forest/hunter green. In super dark lighting it can tend to look black, but in the sunlight this polish shows its rich shimmer. This polish does go on sheer, so three coats were completely necessary for me.
Zoya Verushka is one of my all time favorite matte polishes. Its a slightly steely evergreen with fine silver shimmer running all throughout it. This was my go to fall color, but trust me it's not just for fall. Throw a topcoat on this one, please!
Hold onto your balls! Didn't I tell you it would be great?! Simply adding a topcoat transforms this polish to an amazingly sparkly green with tons of shine. I love that I get two very different polishes in one bottle :)
China Glaze's Gussied Up Green is hands down my favorite forest green. Although, similar to Zoya Suvi, I find that Gussied Up Green looks "cleaner" in my opinion. I'm not sure if that makes sense, haha.
Well, from the looks of things I think I need some brighter greens! I've got a few more greens in my collection, but have yet to be photographed. I'll try and post my actual St. Patrick's Day mani later on!
