Zoya Summer 2013: The Irresistible collection

Sent for review


All of the polishes in the Irresistible collection are beautiful summer foils, easily living up to the collection's name.  In addition, they qualify for the Zoya Earth Day promo!  Individual pictures and reviews after the jump.



Amy is a hot orange, absolutely gorgeous and will be a summer pedicure staple for me.  That is, if I get it back from all the co-workers who want to borrow it! ;)  The formula is thin but not runny, and it was opaque in three thin coats, although you could probably do two thicker coats.  No top coat is needed for this beauty to shine, and the dry time was good.

Bobbi is a hot pink foil, just jaw-droppingly gorgeous, but perhaps not as unique as Amy (I'll be doing comparisons later in the week).  It had the same formula, thin without running or pooling, and was good to go in three thin coats.  Again, no top coat needed!

Hazel is a cool, grey-toned blue foil.  I had a hard time deciding if the shimmer particles were silver or gold, because it's so reflective it's almost blinding!  I think, though, that the shimmer is gold.  Again, it was beautiful in three easy coats and has the same insane shine.

Kerry is an in-your-face yellow gold.  It's just a little too yellow to look good on me, but it's a dramatic color for sure!  I used three thin coats and no top coat, and had no issues with running or pooling.

In the sun:


Rikki is a yellow-toned green foil.  This is a particularly interesting color, because the base color is a subdued sage green, but the shimmer and shine in the foil makes it attention-getting.  The formula was thin but easy to work with, and I used three thin coats and no top coat.

Last but definitely not least is Tinsley, a beautiful, bewitching peach with pink and copper and gold tones.  Trust me when I say that pictures do not do this polish justice!  I used three thin coats and didn't need any top coat.

The collection certainly lives up to its name--I find these polishes irresistible!  My favorites are Amy and Tinsley, which is a surprise because I almost never gravitate to warm colors!  All six are available now at Zoya's website for $8 each plus shipping and any applicable tax.
