Zoya Pandora

Finishing up the Zoya Touch collection is Pandora, a mauve beige cream with a metallic kiss.  I wasn't too sure what I'd think about this color - it's so office safe...  Plus one thing I adore about Zoya is how vivid their colors are (when I look at my folder of pictures, they are just so beautiful!).


I used a base coat of Zoya Get Even, 2 coats of polish and Zoya Armor as a top coat.  The formula was smooth.

Here it is in the sun - look how close it is to my skin color!  Mannequin hands anyone?  The shimmer is very slight as well.

In the shade the shimmer is mostly lost but the color is still quite alive.  Like I said, not a bad color - just very neutral... which was kind of the point of the collection.

Indoors with the flash kind of made my hands look yellow... not sure what's up with that.  Anyway, nice nude - not really for me but great if you work in an office or like - if your relatives would go crazy if you wore bright yellow...  


So there you have it!

Zoya can be purchased on their website for $8/bottle.

Halloween Beauty Blogger Giveaway Winner!

Major congrats to Becky M who won the Halloween Beauty Blogger Giveaway!  Becky, who has her own blog, won with this tweet.  Thank you to all who entered and I hope you stick around PolishGalore for lots more polish fun!

Glitter Gal Nail Polish Competition

I have not yet tried this Australian brand of holographic and sparkle polishes, but I just might have to after this contest!  Glitter Gal is hosting a re-branding/naming competition (similar to what The Painted Nail is doing), where you offer names, and someone will have their names picked!  Full details are provided in this YouTube video from the owners.






Some highlights:

• Competition ends 11 November 2011, Australian time, so best to have them in by 9 November just so you don't miss any deadlines!
• You must email your entries to competition@glitter.com.au  Don't forget the "au" part of the email address!  (For security reasons, I have not linked the email address, but you can copy and paste!)
• The winning entries will receive a full range of the 3D holos and sparkles in the new larger bottles!
• All judges decisions are final and Glitter Cosmetics retain the sole rights to the winning names.
• You may enter as many times as you like AND the competition is open to all countries.
• If 2 people have the same winning name, the person who submitted first is the winner.

I've already sent in my names - I'm not highly creative, but I did have a couple of ones that I considered to be good... and one I named after a dear friend in the UK who would be tickled purple (!) if the name was chosen.  Good luck!

Additionally, if you're in the US and wondering where to buy some Glitter Gal, my friend Kim at OverallBeauty has them!  And some are even on sale!
