Zoya Kissy

   Umm...Happy Valentine's Day guys!! LOL I know I am late as hell with this, but I actually did paint my nails for Valentine's Day. I'm forever alone, so to counteract the inevitable Valentine's Day depression, I wanted to wear something happy. So I chose Kissy (such a good name for a V-Day polish, no?) from Zoya's Gems and Jewels Collection. I meant to put some lovey-dovey decals on there too, but I forgot. My bad.


Kissy is made mostly of small red hex glitter, with lots of pink and holographic bar glitter scattered throughout. There's much more pink bar glitter than holo though.

       Kissy is pretty and actually made for a fun Valentine's Day color. All the glitter is really sparkly, and although I generally don't like pink, Kissy's shade wasn't vomit inducing. I also think it looked pretty good on me. My only gripe is again, the fact that the holo bar glitter isn't as visible as I would have liked. You can see it straight on, but not that well. To really see it, I had to do finger Cirque du Soleil or look at it in lower lighting conditions. However, it does show up more in Kissy than in Rina or Twila (I'm planning to post that soon), so there's that. 
    Putting Kissy on was kind of tough though. The glitter isn't too sparse, and covered in three coats, which was nice. But I had a hard time getting it to stay put and it was pretty messy...little bits of glitter hanging off my nails and such. In the future, I'll probably just layer it over a similar color. 
   And a note on Kissy's wear, I had several fingers where the polish just popped off in a big nail-shaped chunk. The same happened with Twila and Rina. I didn't use Zoya's Anchor base with any of them, so maybe that would help, but I just thought I would mention it.

And I wanted to quickly put it out there that my giveaway is closing in one week, so don't forget to get your entries in if you want to play!
And that's all from me today! (Haha that rhymed.)
But anyway, thanks for reading and have a happy hump day! (HA I RHYMED AGAIN. I'm a poet and didn't know it. ^___^)

I love Zoya, but it is indeed the polish-most-likely-to-pop-off-in-a-big-chunk! I've even had that problem when using the full Zoya Lock system.

I've heard that, but never experienced it until using these ones.
That's horrible though, to spend your time and money getting their special system and still have the whole thing pop off.
Oh my Gooooooood! So much glitter! And sparkle. I don't have any Zoyas so far, because I was all meh about them, but I'm soooo getting this!! And can't wait to read more poems from ya! :D

LOL yess my poems are things of beauty, are they not?

And yes, this one is gorgeous! You definitely should try other Zoyas too...they have so many fabulous colors.
I love Zoya's Kissy...I must say it's one of my favs. To bring it into the summer season, try pairing it over Zoya's Lola (also makes the coverage a lot better). Gotta say, I am attracted to sparkly things :p .

ps.: love ur blog...such a good name!

Lola and Kissy sound like they'd be good together, thanks for the tip!

And thanks!! I like the name too...foolish and silly and corny, just like me. :D
