SUMMER FAVORITES--Zoya Blogger Collection by Birchbox

This week I will be sharing some of my summer favorites from this year.  I am excited to share some of these products with you.  Many of them you have seen or heard of repeatedly here or on facebook or twitter.  Others will be new mentions although I have been reaching for them since June!

It is no secret that I love corals and pinks for summer.  In fact, I am currently on a coral, orange, and pink no buy:)  With this in mind, it should be no surprise to you that I fell, and fell hard for Zoya's Blogger Collection by Birchbox.  With a bunch of citrus, summery, bright, jelly polishes could I go wrong.  Not to mention that one was named Kate:)

I posted initial swatches of this upon receiving them, but I have been saving these full swatches for you.  Enjoy the juicy goodness...  (click on the photos for a larger view)

Coraline (2 coats) is a juicy tangerine.  

  Coraline with one coat of Belle on top as an accent nail.

 Kate (2 coats) is a squishy ruby red grapefruit pink.

Kate topped with one coat of Belle.

Belle (2 coats) is an ethereal pink with coppery and rosy gold shimmer.

The Verdict:
I adore this collection.  I love how versatile these polishes are and making jelly sandwiches with them is so much fun:) I have layered Belle over my pedicures so often this summer.  These all had great application, drying time, and wear.  I love how glossy and squishy these look.  These are definitely my favorites jellies ever!

This collection can be purchased from birchbox for $22.00 with free shipping.

Limited Edition Zoya Blogger Collection by Birchbox Preview

Look what I came home to today...

This made my day:)  I was so excited to see the little birchbox package waiting for me!  Inside was the Zoya Blogger Collection by Birchbox.  This is a limited edition collection which was created by 4 lovely bloggers. Meet Coraline, Kate, and Belle.

Coraline, a warm juicy tangerine jelly by the girls from Eleventh Gorgeous.

Kate is a pinkish grapefruit jelly by The Small Things. 

Belle, a coppery pink which features microscopic bits of iridescent glitter by Capitol Hill Style.

A more thorough post/review/swatch party of these lovelies will come soon.  I just HAD to try them as soon as I opened the little package of goodness.  The possibilities with these beauties are endless!  I cannot wait to layer Belle on top of Coraline and Kate.  I'm also wondering how it will look sandwiching Belle between a layer of one or BOTH of these lovelies.  They look so great as skittles too!  I'm in love to say the least.
