Nail of the Day: Zoya Fleck Effect "Chloe"

The two polishes that I won from Zoya's "Freebie Friday" arrived today! Unfortunately, they sent me a different color polish than I had asked for, but since it was free I can't really complain. I've been so excited to try this polish after reading so many awesome reviews and seeing so many pretty manicures with it. This color is called "Chloe" and is from the new "Zoya Fleck Effect Polish" collection. Basically, it is a very pale sheer pink glaze base with different reflective pieces of reddish orange and greenish blue glitte in it. Being that the base color is not very opaque, it seems that these polishes are best when applied over a darker base color. 

For this manicure, I used "Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Black Platinum" as the base color and then applied two coats of "Chloe" on top and finished it off with a layer of "Seche Vite." I had a feeling that, since this polish had a great deal of thick glitter pieces, it would apply pretty unevenly. To my surprise, I didn't have to put any effort into making sure that the glitter spread evenly, as the formula made sure of that entirely on its own. The good thing about this glaze is that it's thin enough to add a couple of coats so that you can achieve the level of glitter that you want without it being too thick. Overall, I really like the look of this polish and I think I'll be wearing it a lot this spring!
