Stash Swatch Initiative: Zoya Katherine

Hello again!!

Zoya Katherine. Indoors, artificial light, no flash.

Today I've got the first of the Gloss Collection trio to show you. This is Zoya Katherine.

Zoya Katherine. Indoors, artificial light, no flash.

This is a deep, dusky plum jelly. It's very sheer at first but builds nicely. Like the Birchbox Blogger Trio before it, the Gloss Collection is made up of three fantastic jelly finish polishes that are fun to layer or super shiny worn on their own. I realize now that I've miss-counted my Zoyas and have one more than the number of days in September, so I plan on ending Zoya Month tomorrow with a double post on the remaining two polishes from this collection!

Swatches today are a base of Sally Hansen Nail Protix, one coat of Katherine on my pinky finger, two on my ring finger, three on my middle finger and thumb, and four on my index finger. I wanted to show you how buildable this polish is and how shiny it is on its own (so no topcoat today). The formula was great -- no complaints here.

As I've said before: I bought my bottle from Zoya's website. They offer a lot of great deals, especially if you're plugged into their social networking, so like them on Facebook! They also offer deals to their existing customers (those who have an account set up at their website) on occasion. If you don't have an account and want one, you're welcome to use this link to make a new account. It's my "Share the Love" link, which if you do sign up by using it, I'll get points to use towards more deals on polish and, as a first time customer, you'll get a free bottle of polish when you order! Awesome! My link takes you to the seasonal collections page; you can create a new account by using the link at the top of that page that says "Create An Account". Once your account is set up, if you go to "My Account" then click "My Coupon Codes" you'll see the code for a free bottle of polish. I believe you have to order more items to use it, so it's not a total freebie.

More soon!! ^_^
