Zoya Petals Collection Swatches & Trolls

Let's forgo the "I'm sorry I've been missing" speech, because we all know that I have been. I've even been getting emails from people asking to take over Nailed It. Uh...no...I'm here, just busy. I have reviews and ideas cooking that I'm excited to publish soon, so content is coming, albeit more sporadically.

On the docket tonight is actually a spring collection from Zoya, called Petals. It's a very feminine collection with colors you'd absolutely expect in a collection of that name. Pinks, purples and corals, plus a ton of shimmer and glitter. However, I do think that for a collection of six, for four of them to be a variation on pink or coral was a bit overkill. And I did have some trouble with one of the colors, but I'll get to that soon. First, the nail art!

Trolling for Petals

Don't ask me why I decided to do Troll Dolls on my nails. I came across a really random picture of someone's phone background that had these little guys, so I saved it, even though I don't know what the girl was talking about because it was in another language. I'm glad I did though. I can't help but smile looking at their spiffy ombrés and oversized belly buttons. I just don't have gems small enough for proper Troll-to-belly-button-ratio. In addition to colors from Petals, I used 3 other Zoya colors: Cho, and Spencer for their little bodies, and Genesis for the base of the background.

Zoya Petals Collection Swatches 

Zoya - Aster

Aster (2 thick coats) is the most unique color in Petals. It's a lavender jelly with iridescent angel dust shimmer. I needed thick coats, or would have done at least 3 thin ones to get full coverage. 

Zoya - Azalea

Azalea (2 thick coats) needed to be laid on thick too. It's a hot pink shimmer with an excess of sparkle. It's a 5-year old diva princess's dream polish.
