Zoya Pippa... You're a Daisy if You Do!

Good morning!!  The idea was that I'd paint a little flower on my left ring finger and call it a daisy, but 1) last night got late, as they tend to do, and 2) this polish was not terribly fun to apply, and I didn't want to have to redo a finger because of bad nail art.  Besides, I've been really excited to wear this polish on its own.  So yeah, perhaps it's cheating a little, but Zoya Pippa is my D polish on account of my original thought, and because it is kind of a daisy yellow.  K?




Pippa's a sunny, bright but not overtly so, creamy yellow.  I've been on the lookout for a good yellow since that day in the rainbow favorites challenge.  After looking at swatches of Zoya Pippa and Creamy, C helped me decide on Pippa, despite reports that Creamy has a superior formula.  The shade isn't much different from the Essence I used in the challenge, but Pippa is all creme, and I like it much better.  But that formula... It's still streaky after three coats, and filled with air bubbles.  So really, Pippa, You're no daisy.  You're no daisy at all!
But, I like you, anyway.

  1. I tried Pippa for the first time a few weeks ago and I had the SAME experience! Wasn't happy at all. I'll stick to my China Glaze Sunshine Pop!

  2. Hey its not cheating if you'd name this polish Daisy yourself!! or Daisy Wannabe considering the PITA application!
    That's why I like this challenge, not too many strict rules so everyone could participate, even those who don't have a whole store of polished!!

    1. You know, I was real nervous about these photos, but they came out more forgiving than I thought they would...just don't enlarge them. Lol. And thanks! The color's been making me smile. :)

  8. The color is amazing. No doubt on that! I really love this striking yellow!
    But you are right, application is a PITA...
    I actually own both Creamy and Pippa but I never really noticed much of a difference. I think I should try a comparison of them! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

  9. Despite it being a PITA to apply it looks great on you! I have this on my wishlist but I never pull the trigger. I feel like it is impossible to find a yellow that applies good.

    1. Thank you! :) Re. the formula, that seems to be the consensus. :p I wonder about Nars Amchoor, but that yellow is more goldenrod leaning in the bottle, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I've heard the Nars polishes apply like a dream.
