What I wouldn’t give to be somewhere with a warm ocean right now… And baby waves! Because I can’t remember the last time I went surfing.
Soon… Soon, I say, but until then, the Zoya Beach & Surf collection will just have to do.
Available now in stores and online, Beach and Surf are actually two different sub-collections of six full-size polishes each. Twelve shades total, all new for summer, for $8 each.
There are also two $48 kits available — one called the Beach Surf Collection Sampler, with Regan, Lara, Shelby, Arizona, Tracie and Wednesday; and the other called the Surf Collection Sampler, with Rory, Carly, Kimber, Myrta, Meg and Zuza.
I’ve been wearing Kimber on my toes for going on 10 days now, and it still looks pretty great! Very shiny, and I hardly see any chips (just a couple at the edges of a few toenails). Not bad at all. For the record, I’m also wearing it with a base and top coat.
Like all Zoya polishes, these are free of toluene, formaldehyde and DBP (phthalates). Oh, and also camphor.

Ah-choo!
Well hello, allergies. It’s that time of year again here in the Bay Area when all of the mammals are sneezing. Rain one day, followed by sun the next. A few times of that, and everything starts to bloom. I’ve been a sniffling, sneezing, ah-choo!-ing mess.
But I’m okay with that. It’s a tradeoff for such a beautiful landscape and blooming flowers everywhere.
I’m excited right now because I have a hair appointment later this afternoon, but as usual, I have no idea what I’m gonna do, which usually means a last-minute decision.
I know this much: I’m leaning against the pink streaks this time around. They were fun for a while but tough to maintain. I think I’ve maybe worked the urge to experiment out of my system (at least for now).
How are things in your neck of the woods? Happy hump day. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
As always Karen, your swatches are bright and beautiful! How can a girl stop herself from wanting every single shade when they all look so good??
Allergy season and sinus issues are in full force in the Southwest. Spring winds and all the trees getting their fertilization on all over the place is making my nose miserable! I hope all the trees and flowers are enjoying themselves! lol
These colors are gorgeous! I’m digging Zuza, Rory and Carly.
I would love to be somewhere warm right now. I’m jealous of hearing about everyone going places for spring break. My parents are in Costa Rica and sent me some cool pictures. I guess I’ll have to live vicariously through them. 🙂
Zoya is one of my favorite, if not my most favorite NP brand. 🙂
Ive been itching to get dark purple/dark red streaks…but ive been trying not to cave in. 🙂
Oh I really love the cream finishes and some of the glitter ones too, lovely!
Ooo there are so many I want from this collection! Again, Wednesday looks SO smashing on you!
I’ve been suffering from allergy attacks too. I’m not even allergic to pollen. I actually think it’s Tango and Muffin who have turned into two shedding machines lol
Can’t wait to see your new hair! But honestly, whatever you do, I’m sure it’ll look great! xx
I love them all! I think Wednesday is my favorite though. I usually prefer the cream finishes but the glitter ones are fab too!
Love them all, they’re so pretty and bright!
I love Arizona, Wednesday and Shelby. Zoya is one of my favorite nail polish brands, and this collection does not disappoint! Thanks for the great post!
I am also guilty of the last minute salon decisions. I end up saving pics on my iPhone then showing them to my stylist. It must really annoy her, but I value her opinion and she has never given me a horrible hair cut.
Have fun at the salon.
oh my gawd! I must get the first one you swatched, i loved it even before I saw we shared the same name.. It needs to be mine.
Man, Zoya really blew me away with these collections! Such fantastic colors — I want all of them, haha! Beautiful swatches. 🙂
I neeeeeeed Kimber in my life!!
Is it bad that I want all of them? Gorgeous colors!!!
could your nail shape be any more perfect?? golly, it amazes me every time I see your nail posts!! I really like the shades with no shimmer- especially that Shelby pink!
I’m pretty much in love with all the colours. =) But, I think I like the glitters a little bit better than the cremes.
wednesday and Zuzza are goregous!
arizona and zuza are made for me!

I love all these colours! So pretty, especially the crème finishes! xx
I have a hair appointment tomorrow and I have no clue what I’m going to do. Maybe a few inches off the bottom.
This is my first season with allergies. Mine aren’t bad compared to what I’ve seen others suffer through, but having never experienced it I’m miserable. Even with antihistamines my nose starts to run as soon as I step outside. It makes exercising more complicated.
DROOLING. I want them all! But especially the greens!
Beautiful swatches, Karen!
I love Wednesday and Zuza the best 🙂
So beautiful..so summer!!
I love Shelby and Reagan! 🙂 Summer is most definitely here!
I’m loving Arizona and Zuza!!
wow, I want all those colors!!
