Zoya America

Good morning!!  Today I embark on a new challenge, one hosted by the lovely Gosia of Life in Color in which we choose polishes, or combos, or art, beginning with a letter of the alphabet in sequential order.  I decided I'd actually challenge myself with this one, and I will... tomorrow.  Today's my A, and I'm wearing Zoya America, a creamy, gorgeous, 40's pinup style orange-red.




America's formula is nice and easy to apply, if a little on the inconsistent side.  The first coat felt a little thin, and the second a little thick.
I love reds because they each have their own unique sexiness.  If Butter London Come To Bed Red is Kate Hepburn, then America is all Bettie Page.  Not surprisingly, I love this.  I'm thinking of some way I can work this into the B, C, and D days this week. ;)

Here are the other gals participating in this challenge with me...

Thanks for reading, and see you soon with my B!

      I just saw it. Would you prefer we use that? I don't have time to mess with things any more today, but I can try to install it for my next post.

      I thought it would be easier if we all did it... that way if someone wants to join the challenge they can! And it will direct ppl straight to our challenge links, not just a random post. But it's ultimately up to you!!

    What a fun challenge!

    I should do something like this for myself - if anything else, I have (as we all do, I am sure!) so many freaking untrieds, that I get overwhelmed what to pick, and that is with changing my polish daily! This may help narrow it down a bit ;-)

      I wasn't sure about this one, to be honest, but it was the freebie with the Independence Day promo, so I had nothing to lose...lol. So it's extra awesome that it's extra awesome. ;) You should Google it and see if there's anyone with a similar skin tone swaching it.

    This is such a gorgeous color! Seeing it now makes me so happy that I ordered it during the promotion! It still hasn't arrived but I expect it to be here every day.
    It looks so pretty on you! I just love the way your nails look!

    Thank you! :) I love the color red, but it did take me a while to get into red polish. There is a red out there for everyone, though. ;)
