Zoya Blogger Collection by Birchbox

I know I'm super behind with this post, but here it is anyway! I jumped on this limited edition trio as soon as I found out about it! Two jellys in pink and coral and one shimmery pink. Gorgeous colors, totally on point with the current trends!



When it comes to spotting the trends, there’s no better source than top beauty bloggers. We teamed up with Zoya to help these talented ladies turn their creativity into these exclusive limited edition nail polish shades. First, each blogger made a mood board capturing her favorite spring/summer colors. Next, we asked our Facebook fans to vote for the top three boards, which the polish experts at Zoya used to custom-design this stunning trio. Kate is a pinkish grapefruit that comes courtesy of The Small ThingsEleventh Gorgeous created Coraline, a warm juicy tangerine. Capitol Hill Style is the force behind Belle, a coppery pink which features microscopic bits of iridescent glitter.

Closer breakdown. Each nail has two coats of the base color, and the two with Belle layered have one coat of Belle per nail. Say hello to my left hand!


I really like these colors. Nice and bright, and I'm totally digging the jelly finishes (my firsts actually!) Totally worth getting if you like the colors. These wear 2-3 days before chipping. Has anyone else noticed jellies tend to get darker and more opaque the longer they are on the nail? These did. Not bad, just kind of curious ... =)

I did incidentally buy two of these, with the intention of one to give away, so leave me a comment of which color you like best out of these, and I'll pick one of ya (regardless of which color you pick or where you live) to get the trio!

Available here for $22 with FREE SHIPPING! It does appear that Birchbox only ships to USA, Guam, Puerto Rico, and US Virgin Islands. Sorry ladies! Maybe you can find someone nice to ship it to you if you front the payment and shipping fees!

  1. I like the Coraline color the best! I've been looking for a really nice coral color, which I've been unable to identify as of yet.

  7. I like Kate the most. These are all really summery colours. Interesting what you said about jellies getting darker and more opaque with time. I'll have to be on the lookout for that the next time I wear a jelly polish.

  14. Love the kate+bell combo~~
    Just wondering do jelly type polishes take longer to remove? I know the finish is slightly different but I don't know how that relates to the removal process.

  15. Hello there Kaki's left hand!!! =)))
    Those polishes are absolutely gorgeous, especially now for the summer time :) I really love the Coraline and Belle combo, but Kate is so gorgeous on it's own!! You are so awesome for giving one set away :D Thank you!

  17. I don't know which one I like better! LoL. If I ABSOLUTELY had to choose, I'd say Belle, if that's the shimmery pink one. But, I've always been a sucker for a bright pink. I also like the pseudo-ombre on your nails, too.

  21. Oh, Kate makes my heart skip a beat. (That sentence is made extra awkward by the fact one of my closest friend's name is Kate.) I wish they'd create an awesome polish named Kathy. :/
