Good morning!! I could not wait for Zoya's Surf collection to hit the stores, and I pretty much stalked my Ulta for nearly a month before they got the polishes in. I went in the afternoon on the day they were supposed to arrive and the staff hadn't even out them on the floor yet, so I got to open the stock boxes and get everything I wanted. When I opened the Zuza box, I actually gasped a little. This one seemed to be everyone's early favorite, because it looked awesome swatched in photos, but the color I pulled from the stock box was the most amazing shimmery caribbean blue-green, like, ever.
Two coats. Zuza is pure gorgeous, on tips or toes. I've noticed the Surf polishes are a little thick, as Zoyas go, and as an observation, all four of the Surfs I own have a small, thin circle of dried paint right above the rim (where you wipe excess polish off the brush, right?), on account of the thickness and how quickly they dry.
A couple weeks ago I wore Sally Hansen Nail Prisms South Sea Pearl over a white base, and it was so realistically pearlesque that I thought it would be a really pretty pedicure to Zuza as a mani.
Get it? South Sea Pearl plus caribbean blue Zuza? This might be the sloppiest looking pedi I've done in a while. Nothing but the best for this blog! lol. I realize the pearly shimmer is hardly noticeable here, but it is pretty. Trust me. :D (I love it when bloggers write "Trust me.")
Anyway, have a lovely Sunday. It's Father's Day in the US, so if you have a mind to, take some time to love on and appreciate the good men in your life today. :) Thanks for reading! :)
super pretty! looks really good on you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Destany :) :)
DeleteI just got Zuza too and I love it! If you have thinner just use a few drops and it fixes that thicknesses right up:)
ReplyDeleteOh, great idea! I hope that'll help with chipping, too, because these chip more quickly on me than other Zoyas (and I figure it's because of the thickness). I can't wait to see what you come up with!
DeleteI got Zuza not too long ago but I haven't tried it yet!! I will have to put it on soon, it does look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYes, yes! Do it now! lol. I can't wait to see how you wear it. :)
DeleteI really love the color of Zuza but I couldn't stand the thickness and clean-up. Those shimmery polishes are so tricky to clean-up, even with pure acetone! So, I ended up getting rid of the polish :( Boy, is it pretty though!
ReplyDeleteOh, they're a total pain, especially this one; shimmer, like, all down your fingers. They're still totally worth it to me, and Zuza is so great and less hassle as a pedi.
DeleteLove Zuza! It looks fabulous on you! I found, with my bottle, that it wasn't thick so much as it just dried super fast, so if I went over the same area twice, it got clumpy (as if the polish was thick). :-)

Thanks, Yun! :) I was thinking that it's almost a one coater. I think I'll treat it as such next time.
DeleteSo pretty! I love how summery it looks, just like tropical water. It looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cat! :) I agree that it looks like tropical water.
