Zoya Faye

Are you guys sick of Zoya yet? I'm a little sick of them. But I just have a few more to go from the Sunshine Collection, and then we can go look at other stuff. I thought it'd be nice to start this collection off on a high note, so here's Faye.


Faye is a ton of gold and purple flat shimmer particles in a sheer plummy base.

I tried to blur this one a little bit, to show the sparkles.

     Faye is so gorgeous! I actually think of it as Danni's grandma. In lower light, the golden shimmer kind of takes over parts of the nail so you get a bit of a purple-golden-copper duochrome-type thing going. I tried to show some of that in the second to last picture. And in sunlight, the shimmer glitters so beautifully. I love how it dances across the nail and contrasts with the base color. My only thing with Faye is that I don't really see it as belonging in this collection. All the other shades are really bright and sunny, but this one is kind of not. It actually reminds me most strongly of changing leaves, so maybe it would be better suited for a fall release. But it's still awesome and unique.
   Faye's formula didn't really give me issues. It was a bit sheer, so four coats was necessary to eliminate all VNL. And it doesn't seem to want to cure...I've been wearing it for about...14 hours now, and some of my nails are still dentable. But it went on okay...nice and smooth. 

And that's all! Thanks for reading! ^_^

That's gorgeous. Can't wait for the earth day shindig so I can get all the ones I missed out on.

Thanks!
And I didn't know they were having it again this year. Do you already know what you're gonna trade in?
It looks so so pretty! Now I regret passing it up when I got my 4 Zoya's last week thanks to the promo.

Ahh like almost everyone has regrets about their promo orders. I regret getting Tamsen and Tanzy instead of Reva and Sooki. We all make mistakes, LMAO!
But there'll be other opportunities to make it right. :D
I'm going to echo other sentiments, it's looks gorgeous on you. I got this as an attempt to go out of my comfort zone. Eh, don't know if I'm going to like it.

Thanks!
And you know, I wasn't 100% sold on it either. Even right after putting it on, I was like this isn't that great. But once I saw it in the sun, that was all she wrote.
Sometimes you don't know...it may surprise you. ^_^
LMAO at Danni's grandma! I am trying to figure out if this will work for me, I have a habit of buying pinks with a gold flash and then not liking them against my skintone. Maybe since this one is more purple it would work...

Ahaha, does it not look a bit grandma-ish?
But like hot grandma.

And I'm not sure, you know. It is definitely purple and not pink, but it's heavy on the red and not really dark, so I really don't know.
In my head, I can see it looking nice on you though. Do you have the little plate with the spoons on it? If not, feel free to email me and I can send you the one that they gave me, if that'll help at all.
Totally agree...this polish reminds me of fall! And I'm not sick of Zoya yet...but I am frustrated that I still don't have my BOGO polishes! Grrrrr.

Yep....I would have loved if they did a really bright cheery blue here and saved Faye for fall, but oh well.

And that sucks butt! What did you order?
