Zoya Tracie and Meg

   Today I bring you the last set of polishes from the Zoya Beach and Surf collections.  These two are definitely my favorites from the collections.
   Tracie is the only non-creme in the Beach collection.  It's a pistachio green with silver microshimmer.


   Unlike a lot of microshimmers, the one in Tracie shows well on the nail giving a nice pearl-like finish to the polish.  But it does mean you can see brushstrokes, so you'll want to be careful with application.  The formula and application were both great, aside from the brushstrokes, and Tracie dries bottle color.  I used Finger Paints base coat, 2 coats of polish, and no top coat.

   Meg is a celery colored metallic foil with silver shimmer from the Surf collection.  Zoya calls Meg a mermaid green which might be the best description.  It's a little hard to pinpoint the exact shade of Meg.


   Meg is the most foil like of all the Surf polishes.  It shows any flaws you have in your nails so I would recommend a ridge filling base coat.  Brushstrokes show on this one as well, so again be careful with application.  The formula is ok on Meg, but the 1st coat goes on a bit streaky and you need to use thicker coats for best application.  I used Finger Paints base coat, 2 coats of polish, and no top coat.  Meg also dries to bottle color.

   Because it's the most foil like, Meg is super shiny, even without top coat.  As I said at the beginning, these two polishes are my favorites from the Summer collections.  If you like greens, I definitely recommend grabbing both of these.

  1. Both of those are gorgeous. I love the pistachio green, its kind of a unique color in a sea of mint and grass greens.
