...let me follow that up by saying, unapologetically, that I am not a huge eco-friendly, tree-hugging, plant-worshipping person. That being said, it doesn't mean I don't have a huge appreciation for our world in general. I mean, without it, I wouldn't have my nail polish, right?
But, thankfully, Zoya cares a little more about the world than I do. Every Earth Day, they do a promo where you can get any of their regular-price polishes (so basically any of them except the textured ones) for HALF OFF, if you send back that same number of old nail polish bottles from any other brands that you're done with. They dispose of the nail polish in an environmentally-safe way, and you get high-quality nail polish for half price! This year's promo code is ZOYAEARTH2013.
Anyways, that in mind, I thought I'd swatch one of my new FAVORITES from Zoya! A little while back, I featured Zoya Neely, one of their spring cremes that just so happened to be a pale green that I fell in love with. I must admit, my heart's almost been stolen by Neely's sister, Zoya Blu, also from the Spring 2013 Lovey Collection. So here, for all of your viewing pleasure, is Blu!
AAAAAH. Seriously. I feel like I'm cheating on my ex-favorite light blue, Zoya Kristen (even though some people have tried to tell me Blu and Kristen are virtually the same). Let me tell you that they're definitely NOT: Kristen is more greyed out and can appear a lot whiter in certain lights; Blu is brighter and has a much better formula. Not that I'm just going to push Kristen to the back of my shelf and never touch her again; she's still a beauty that will certainly be feeling the love in the future.
But anyways. Back to Blu - what's the deal with that name, anyway? Zoya claims that their nail polishes are named after real women. I have yet to meet a woman named Blu, but maybe that's just me. No offense to you, if you're named Blu.
ANYWAY. Blu is obviously gorgeous; I think I'm just about obsessed with the Lovely Collection. Like Neely, she was perfectly opaque and smooth in two coats. She's almost TOO perfect for spring, but I feel like she has a brightness that makes her summer-appropriate, too. Thank goodness.
How do you like Blu? And are you going to go for the Zoya Earth Day Promo? (Last year, I ended up buying 13 new Zoyas! It's hard to say no once you start filling your online shopping cart...)
Stay happy!
Wow, Blu really is a unique woman's name... I love it! I wore light blue yesterday but my colleague said it looked like I had dead fingers, HOW DARE THEY!! xxx
