I’m looking forward to a healthier me, healthy nails (cut them all short today!). And looking forward to a new me now that my children are grown & moved out. And Tao would look great on my new healthy nails!!!
TAO is a great color! It’s not the same old shimmery steel grey. And I agree, it would look best on shorter nails
All of those colors are great but I love the Jana especially. For Fall I’m looking to wear a lot of neutrals since I’ve been doing so many bright colors not only this summer but the past two years. Time for a switch!
I am buying CYNTHIA and CODIE for myself. I have so many of the greyed neutral shades, I need to step away from JANA and PETRA.
Good luck!!
All the colors are great, but Jem is it for me. I can’t wait for cooler weather for fall, this southern California summer is taking its toll on me.
JEM is such a pretty color, but those tones look wretched with my skin tone. Good luck to you on winning it!
I’m with Christy on the Jana (followed by Petra). I ALMOST bought this collection the other day, but didn’t think I could justify it when I rarely wear nail polish (because my nails peel so much).
I know you told me you don’t prep your nail bed before applying polish, but you would probably benefit from using an anti-peel base coat or treatment. And if the clear coat chips, you can’t see it!
Good luck!
Love the whole range (especially the Smokes) but I think Codie is my favorite. Beautiful. I want them all!
I am looking forward to wearing long sleeves again. And for hot drinks that make me feel all cozy and warm inside instead of slightly nauseated because it is already too hot.
I am already buying long sleeves. Well, longer sleeves. I just can’t wait for the weather to catch up with my purchases!
I think Jem is beautiful! And I cannot wait for cooler temps this fall and wearing hoodies!!!
HATS! Hats are my thing. Love them
I gotta go with Jem but Cynthia looks amazing too
Jem is my favorite! I look forward to no more mosquitoes or ticks!!
Mosquitos! Do you live in the south? I don’t think I’ve been bitten so much since I was a kid, playing in the streets after the lights came on.
I adore Cynthia, but since I lost my job I cOuldnt order it this time. This fall I look forward to staying home with my little boy for the first time since he was 4 weeks old and getting to pull out the sweaters again!
Have fun with your time! I now how hard it is to a) be on a budget, b) staying home with a little one, and c) having to say no to impulse buys. If you plan on going back to work, keep those skills sharp, girl! It’s hard going back to the work force after being out of the game.
I’m honestly looking forward to Halloween and autumn. It’s my favorite time of year! With the cooler weather, warm fuzzy things, cider, and crunchy leaves. But it’s not too cold to go out. ( And certainly not the 100+ we’ve been having in my neck of the woods recently. )
As for nailpolish, I’m totally diggin’ Yara… can’t help it I love me some greens. But honestly Jem looks pretty good on the swatches I’ve seen. So very very torn. That green just looks pretty unique though. Gotta say Zoya certainly came out with good collections this time haha!
Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday! We love dressing up and I usually make my kids’ costumes. Happy August!
I love Neeka. It’s a beautiful purple with glitter, my favorite! I’m loving your blog. So glad I found you on the Zoya website.
I’m looking forward to my yearly visit with my mom and my little sister. It might be more like winter before I get to see them, but we don’t really have “normal” seasons in California.
Thanks for checking out the giveaway and for the kind words! And I hear ya about “seasons”. I’m in New Orleans. We have summer, two weeks of fall, winter, and then RAGING, ENDLESS SUMMER.
I am looking forward to darker colors, leaves crunching, Halloween, and oh wait…my birthday! Fall is my favorite season! Sweaters, I love sweater weather too (can you tell that the thought of fall makes me all excited?!?).
I absolutely LOVE Zoya and LOVE all of the fall colors, but I have to say I am looking forward to trying Codie the most. I have pale skin (borderline translucent) and always love the way that darker colors look on my skin.
I retweeted (ImHisBella813 on Twitter)
Thanks for the opportunity!
Yes! And I am especially ready for a more refined grunge look to come back. Vampy, gritty, dark. This season’s fashions were made for me
My favorite color? Jem! Looking forward to seasonal hot drinks, darker polish shades, and… Warm weather! Yeah, still cold and foggy here in the bay area.
It’s a big 50/50 for me with Codie and Dree, both so pretty! I’m excited for just about everything to with fall! Trips to cider mills (and yummy cider doughnuts!), pumpkin patches, bonfires, walking through town without instantly looking like I need medical attention from sweating so much, and more importantly a beautiful pair of leather riding boots I’ve been pinching pennies for as a treat to myself.
Love your blog! So glad you posted on facebook so I could find it!
I’m wanting to try out Jana…and most looking to sporting these colors this fall!!
School fall semesters make looking forward to fall somewhat difficult, but I still can’t wait for two things–cozy sweaters and darker nail polish, lol! Hopefully a bottle of Cynthia can be part of all that for me…
Hi, Emily! Congratulations on winning Zoya’s CYNTHIA! I will be emailing you shortly for your shipping address.
My fav is Anja form the smoke and mirrors.. What I am looking forward to most this fall is taking out my tan high boots and wearing them with an over sized sweater
And wearing Anja with that would complete the look!!! Thanks for the contest.
There are so many gorgeous colors in this collection. The one I’m most excited to try is definitely Yara. I’ve never seen a smoky green with glitter before.
I thrive on warmer weather–so though I love the colors of autumn, I kind of dread fall’s cooler temps–but a bottle of Neeka might make it all better for me
BTW, Emily W. sent me!!
Oh, girl, no. I NEED cooler temperatures. Maybe I need to move where you live!
Thanks for commenting and letting me know Emily W. sent you. She won!
I would love to have Petra! This fall I am looking forward to my one year anniversary with my husband on October 9. And crunchy leaves and pumpkins. But mostly the one year anniversary thing : )
My birthday is October 6, Halloween on the 31st, and my anniversary on November 15. So many awesome things happening in the fall! Happy anniversary to you and yours!
Codie it would be, but a very tough choice… ;o)
I want to win Yara! It’s such a cool color, but it’s one I’d probably never bite the bullet on and buy, haha. I’m usually more of a pink or grey girl creme girl… green? shimmer? Awesome, but scary!
I’m most looking forward to the weather being less humid and hot so I can actually do things outside! Summer in Chicago was too hot and too humid this year, ick. I want it to get cooler out so I can start running again and start exploring my new neighborhood.
Haha! I too usually wait to purchase colors I wouldn’t normally buy when I have a gift card. Nothing like spending someone else’s money on those riskier items
Wow, what a lovely prize! Thank you for the opportunity
My fav one is Anja! I say it swatched and I simply love that kind of red!
For fall I looking forward to come back to my country (Italy) and start a new chapter of my life
Such a hard choice but I think I’d go with the color “Petra”. Fall colors look great on me with my skin tone and hair color.
My favorite color in the smoke and mirrors collection is jem because I love just love the purple tone in it. I’m most looking forward to fall this year is getting back to school because I missed so much of it last year. I’m looking forward to getting my life back on track and I can’t believe I’m saying this… being busy with all the homework, hanging out with old friends, and meeting new ones.
My favorite color from the Smoke & Mirrors collection is Jem!
I love fall because of the cooler temperatures, falling leaves and Halloween. Thank you for hosting such a generous giveaway!
I love the Cynthia color!! I am looking forward to my MCATs being done! (The test to take to gain acceptance into medical school) I’ve been studying for about 8 hours a day, and Im going insane. It would be nice to have an at home mani pedi with Cynthia to finally relax!!!! Love your blogs. <3
Ooh, so many pretty colors here- Petra, Codie, but my favorite is Anja.
Yara and Anja are my favorite.. such lovely colors. I’m excited for at least slightly cooler weather.. crossing my fingers for that! And starting school at LSU, even though I’m missing Tulane and NOLA so much.
