Refined and Polished: Pink Wednesday ~ Zoya Flora

Wow, I just realized that I've reached 50 followers!!! With all the nail blogs that are around, who knew 50 people would be interested in little ole me and my polish habits. Thanks to all of you for reading and I'm already planning for a big giveaway when I reach 100 followers.

Today for Pink Wednesday I have for you Zoya Flora. It's described as a medium warm bubblegum pink in a soft-looking creme base. Flora isn't too bright or too muted. Its a great everyday pink. This shade was a tad bit streaky with 1 coat, but that was fixed with a second. I'm not sure if it was the base I used (Sally Hansen Double Duty), but Flora had some slight bubbles which never happens with any of my other Zoyas. Here are the pics:

Thanks to Traci over at The TraceFace Philes, I added a little blue to this mani with OPI's Turquoise Shatter. I'm in love!!! While this one was a little bit thicker than Silver Shatter, it still applied relatively well. This is a medium coat of shatter.

I'll definitely be getting a lot of use out of this shatter!!! Its so pretty and shimmery. What are you wearing for Pink Wednesday?!?

Flora is a nice color. It kind of reminds me of Sparrow Me the Drama, except less pastel-y. Very nice.; June 8, 2011 at 3:57 PM

For Pink Wednesday, I'm wearing Wet n Wild's "How I Met Your Magenta."; June 8, 2011 at 8:41 PM

Melany...have you tried applying when damp, wet, or dry? I sometimes get different results depending on the state of the base coat. How I Met Your Magenta is really cute!; June 9, 2011 at 11:49 PM
