Zoya Nail Polish Ashby | September Color of the Month

Posted on September 13, 2024 by Adventures in Polishland

Fall is my favorite season, so I am ready to wear some autumn inspired manicures as the weather gets cooler. Today I have swatches and a review of the Zoya Nail Polish Color of the Month for September, Ashby. After a few months in a row with cream nail polishes, I’m excited that Zoya released a different formula this time around. Plus, I think Ashby is the perfect shade to not only kick off the fall, but take us right through the entire holiday season!

Zoya Nail Polish Ashby | September Color of the Month

The product in this post was provided for my unbiased review. All opinions are my own. See my Disclosure Policy for more information.

Ashby is a burgundy metallic nail polish with gold and bronze shimmer. The formula is excellent, as it applies very evenly without any visible brush strokes. Ashby is opaque in two coats, and I love the beautiful red color. To be honest, I did not really like the polish in the bottle, as the microglitters stuck to the sides of the bottle making it look more brown-toned than it really is. Luckily, Ashby is a truly stunning and dimensional metallic nail polish!

I completed my manicure by adding one coat of the Zoya Naked Manicure Glossy Seal Top Coat. I did want to mention that the swatches here were photographed on my second day of wearing Ashby, and you can see some light tip wear already. As I type this post, I’ve had the polish on for five days, and I have more tip wear and a couple tiny chips. I would recommend wrapping the tip of your nails during application to help increase the wear time.

Overall, I really like Ashby as the Zoya Color of the Month for September. I’m glad Zoya released something a bit different this month in a metallic formula, as I think it’s great when the Color of the Month features something other than a standard cream polish. You can buy Ashby from the Zoya website for $12.00 during the month of September. Use the coupon code ABY to get free shipping on your entire order when you buy Ashby.

Zoya Nail Polish Love | February Color of the Month

Posted on February 21, 2024 by Adventures in Polishland

February is coming to a close, and I want to share with you the Zoya Nail Polish Color of the Month while you still have time to purchase it. Each month Zoya releases a nail polish that is only available during that month. When you buy that shade and use the applicable coupon code, you get free shipping on your entire order! February’s nail polish is aptly named Love for Valentine’s Day. Let me share with you this stunning red polish!

The product in this post was provided for my unbiased review. All opinions are my own. See my Disclosure Policy for more information.

Love is a red nail polish filled with red micro and macro glitters. I am very impressed with the formula, as it applies smoothly and is opaque in two coats. I love that the glitters match the base shade perfectly, giving the nails a multidimensional look. To complete my manicure, I added one layer of the Zoya Naked Glossy Seal Top Coat.

I wore Love for Valentine’s Day week, and was very happy with the wear time. By the time a week had elapsed, I only had minor wear on the edges of my nails. That is longer than most nail polish lasts on me without chipping. I also received compliments on my manicure at work, so Love is seems to be a crowd favorite as well.

Love is definitely a new go to polish for me. I can see myself wearing it during the Christmas season, and it can work for the Fourth of July as well. You can purchase Love on the Zoya website for $12.00 through the end of the month. Use code LOVE24 to get free shipping when you buy Love or any of the Love Bundles.

Milani Color Statement Nail Lacquer | Reds

Posted on August 7, 2014August 12, 2015 by Adventures in Polishland

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!

First 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!

Next 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!

Red 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.

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.

Iconic 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?

Next 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!

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!
