Spring Is (Almost) Here! Zoya Marley

Today I'm wearing Zoya Marley, a warm light lilac creme base with the tiniest silvery shimmers. For some reason, it's coming off cooler in the photos than in real life. Maybe it's my skin tone? The shimmers are completely invisible from a normal viewing distance, but they do make Marley slightly pearly-looking. I was hoping this would be more different from Essie Lilacism, though it's still pretty!

I used two coats for full opacity. The formula was good and dried fast. The bumpiness in the photos is due to my nail beds...

Yuna This Is a Cool Color

I'm so good at puns. Not really. Anyway, this is Zoya Yuna, which I literally received yesterday in the mail for my Zoya "New Year New Hue" promotion. I decided this was the first one to try on my nails. Yuna is an interesting color. The base is a dark teal bluish gray, and it has yellow-y (almost greenish?) golden shimmers dispersed throughout. As always with Zoya, the formula was quite nice and took only two coats to reach full opacity. To be honest, this looks more subtle in real life than I expected, though the fluorescent lights on campus probably don't bring out the true color and shimmer very well. Nevertheless, this is something right up my alley (blue, dark, shimmery, lol) and I still really enjoy Yuna.
