Happy Manicure Mondays! Today I swatched the Zoya Lovely spring 2013 collection for you all. It includes 3 pastel metallic shimmer nail polishes, and 3 pastel cremes.
This is another collection I almost turned down when the press release came out because it was December and I just wasn’t feeling the pastels yet. Oh, but when it came in and I started swatching, I fell in love immediately. I am ready for color and I am ready for spring! Most of these colors I’ve wanted since they walked the spring/summer 2013 runway shows for Peter Som and Zang Toi.
Zoya Blu is a full-coverage, soft and delicate pale baby blue with a glossy creme finish. I am addicted to mint green and blue nail polish at the moment, so Blu and Neely are my favs of this collection.
Zoya Neely is a full coverage green nail polish, somewhere between mint and celery, in a glossy creme finish. This fun color gives a cool vintage edge to your look. I’ve wanted Neely every since it was created as a custom runway shade for fashion designer Peter Som, but the set sold out too quickly! Jacqueline, shown below, was also part of this limited time collection.
Zoya Jacqueline is a full-coverage, nude cream nail polish that leans a bit yellow. This light creamy beige has a glossy creme finish and was originally created as a custom runway shade for fashion designer Peter Som.
Zoya GeiGei is a full-coverage light pink metallic originally created as a custom runway shade for fashion designer Zang Toi.
Zoya Julie is a full-coverage, light purple metallic originally created as a custom runway shade for fashion designer Zang Toi.
Zoya Piaf is a full-coverage yellow metallic originally created as a custom runway shade for fashion designer Zang Toi. I have been ADDICTED to yellow nail polish ever since I did the Chanel Mimosa dupe comparison. I think Piaf could definitely pass as a lighter, more modern version of Chanel’s Mimosa.
So are you in the mood for spring yet? See any colors you’d like to pick up? I’m really lovin the pastels for this upcoming season!

yes, aren’t they perfect. as a whole, i thought it looked very “easter”, but i won’t be wearing them all at once, and LOVE them individually. such a fun collection.
They do look very Easter-ish, pretty for spring. I like the blue and green ones best, although all are pretty. I was in the mood for a cheery spring color last night and did my nails with OPI Kiss Me on My Tulips.
im loving the blue and green as well, and the yellow is a close runner up! i have kiss me on my tulips {maybe we talked about this before?}, and LOVE!
We did and it was just the cheery spring color I needed, it’s been so gray here. I’ll get the pastels when it gets closer to “real” spring.
I love that yellow!
somehow, the more i look at these swatches, the more the yellow is quickly becoming my fav!!!
I found your blog a few weeks ago and literally read through your entire collection of manicure mondays in one night! Suffice it to say, I am addicted :) Just thought you should know that I love your blog! (Congrats on the pregnancy also!)
I just made a zoya purchase and got the color spoons for these–I want all of them! I bought the blu in my last purchase and it is definitely my favorite right now :)
no way! that is the best compliment ever and i’m so glad you shared. comments like yours is exactly why i do what i do… it would be no fun if there was no feedback, and i’m so happy to hear you love my blog. thank you so much for that and i hope you’ll keep in touch! thanks also for the congrats on my pregnancy. we’re super excited :)
[...] hearts together is a bit too girly for me, so I played with a couple of vintage chic colors from Zoya’s Lovely spring 2013 collection. I painted my nails with Zoya Neely, a gorgeous light creme green nail [...]
