Mani Monday - China Glaze Prism

Hi readers! Hope this brightens up your Monday morning.  This weekend I made a trip to my local Sally Beauty and picked up some neat polishes that I'll bring showing you this week.  First off, I just wanted to let you guys know that they are still having their buy two get one free sale so it's a perfect time to pick up a few new polishes.

So this weekend, I picked up China Glaze's Prism.  Prism is from the Prismatic Chroma Glitter collection (Spring 2012). As a glitter addict, this was a must have.  I thought that it had the greatest variety of colours compared to the other polishes in this collection.   This polish is a solid mix of ultra-fine purple-pink glitters along with larger hexagonal multi-coloured glitter pieces.  I was truly impressed with how densely packed this glitter polish is.  For the pictures, I used two coats of Zoya's Sadie and then two coats of China Glaze's Prism.

Throughout the application I was impressed with how it went on.  It naturally dispersed the glitter evenly and it only took two coats to get superb coverage.  Prism does require two good coats of top coat to get a nice smooth finish (I'm really finicky with finishes so I always use two coats of top coat on top of my glitters).  In order to make removal easier, soak a cotton ball in acetone, place it on top of the nail, and wrap the nail with tin foil.  Let this sit for a good 5 minutes and it will make removal a breeze.

Honestly, I really like now this polish turned out though it is hard to capture the duo-chromatic properties of this polish through pictures.

Let me know what you think! Have you fallen in love with glitter polishes? What is your favourite glitter>

Keep on polishing!

Welcome! - Zoya Kissy

Welcome to my blog! This is a little bit of a stretch for me as I am a super sporty chick who's just fallen in love with nail polish!  Anyways I hope to use this blog to review some nail polishes and to expose people to some up and coming nail polish brands.  I'll be posting bi-weekly and I hope you will follow along.


Zoya's Kissy is a dark pink glitter polish from the gems and jewels collections that came out during the holidays of 2011.  It is a clear polish base that combine bar glitter with purple, pink, and red hologram particles.  I used two coats of Zoya Sadie as a base colour and two coats of Kissy.  I really loved the thickness of this polish and it went on quite evenly. To bring this polish up to the current trends, try using it on top of Zara's Lara polish from the Beach and Surf collection that came out for summer 2012. 

Zoya is a 4-free brand meaning its better for you and better for the environment!  Though this nail polish may feel rough at first, after applying two top coats it will feel as smooth as a baby's bottom.  A tip for getting glitter polish off: soak cotton balls with nail polish remover, set it on top of the nail, and then wrap with tin foil.  Let it set for five to ten minutes and voila! the nail polish will come off quite easily.

Zoya Kissy is available through www.zoya.com, Trade Secrets, Sally Beauty Supply, and through many online ratailers.

Have fun glamming it up!
