Zoya Nail Polish Frankie | July Color of the Month

Posted on by Adventures in Polishland

I can’t believe we are over halfway through the year and that today I am sharing the Zoya Nail Polish Color of the Month for July 2024. It certainly feels like summer here with temperatures over 90º F. Fittingly, the nail polish for this month is a red shade perfect for the hot weather. Let me share with you swatches and a review of the July Color of the Month Frankie.

Frankie is a watermelon red shade with a cream formula. It is opaque in two coats, and dries to a matte finish. The formula applies really smoothly and evenly. I like how pigmented this polish is. The red leans towards pink and really pops on the nails. I’m wearing it without top coat in the above swatches so you can see what Frankie looks like when it dries matte.

To complete my manicure, I added one coat of the Zoya Naked Manicure Glossy Seal Top Coat. I love how Frankie looks with a high gloss shine! That being said, you can certainly use a matte top coat if you want to keep that look while still elongating the wear time of your manicure. Zoya sells the MatteVelvet Top Coat on its website for $12.00 here.

Zoya Frankie Matte vs Glossy

Here is a quick look at Frankie side-by-side with a matte finish versus a glossy finish. Looking at this comparison, I actually really like the matte look! It’s very sleek, and I appreciate that there are no brush streaks upon application.

Overall, I think Frankie is a great nail polish for the July Color of the Month from Zoya. The formula applies beautifully, and the color is perfect for the season. While many of us may already have a go-to red nail polish, Frankie is a nice option if you are on the hunt for a watermelon shade for your stash.

Happy Thursday! Today I have a full review of all of the red polishes in the new Milani Color Statement line. The reds get their own post, because there are seven of them! I rarely wear red nails, but I know it’s the staple shade for many women. Let’s get right into the reds!

Milani – Corrupted Coral Milani – Corrupted CoralFirst up is Corrupted Coral, the most pink-toned of the reds! Corrupted Coral is the perfect coral creme, and has an amazing formula. This is one of those polishes that looks great on everyone no matter your skin tone. I think you need a polish like this one in your collection!

Milani – Mango Tango Milani – Mango TangoNext up is Mango Tango, a bright red-orange shade. Mango Tango has a super fun name, and an amazing formula. This polish just looks perfect on the nails!

Milani – Red Label Milani – Red LabelRed Label is a true red creme, and such a classic shade. It reminds me of Louboutin bottoms for sure. Red Label has a great formula and is opaque in two coats. If you are in search of the perfect red polish, Red Label is the one to get.

Milani – Modern Rouge Milani – Modern Rouge Next up is Modern Rouge, a fuchsia red polish with a crelly (creme and jelly) formula. It is quite sheer, and I needed three coats to achieve opacity. Modern Rouge is a bit lighter than Red Label, and perfect if you don’t want a drastic red.

Milani – Iconic Red Milani – Iconic RedIconic Red is next, and it is a deep cherry shade. It also has some plum undertones, which makes it a unique polish. Iconic Red has a good formula that is opaque in two coats. It reminds me of autumn leaves and football games for some reason. What do you think?

Milani – Ruby Stone Milani – Ruby StoneNext up is Ruby Stone, a shimmering deep red that is absolute perfect for the holidays. Whether you use it in nail art, or on its own, Ruby Stone is beautiful. The formula is great as well, and is opaque in two coats. I highly recommend this one!

Milani – Enchanting Milani – Enchanting Last but not least is Enchanting, a very dark bordeaux red. Enchanting is nearly black, and has a bit of a patchy formula. Luckily it evens out in two coats, and looks very vampy and mysterious. I feel like a daring woman would wear this shade, and I’m not sure that is me!

All in all, there is a great range of red polishes in the new Milani Color Statement line. If you’re in need of a new red, I guarantee you can find the perfect one for your collection here. At just $3.99 each, you can’t go wrong with these polishes. They are available for purchase at your local CVS store and on Milani’s website HERE. I’m almost done showing you the Milani polishes, so make sure to stay tuned for the final posts!
