Zoya Monica

You would think someone with so much nail polish would have pretty much everything right? Well, I'm sure to non-nail polish people I have more than enough. I did realize I was missing something from my stash recently, and Zoya Monica fixed that right up. Monica is from Zoya Fall 2012 Designer collection.

Monica 

Monica is a dark muted blue-toned purple creme.

You know what I realized? There are a ton of red-toned dark and muted purples out there for fall. I honestly think they are overdone. It's a great color, but I have a lot of shades like that. What I realized is I did not have any blue-toned purple shades for fall. I have a few that are more spring-summery themed, but nothing that were more suited towards fall. Zoya Monica comes in..problem solved. This is a great color. It's rich and deep. The formula was great on this. I'm finding Zoya's formula to be consistently great over the this past year. I approve!

P.S. Whenever I hear the name Monica, I think of the singer Monica, and this song she did with Brandy. This takes me back to 7th grade. I can't believe this was 14 years ago!


Happy Friday!

    This is a really nice purple! I always find the ones I have are too dark like plum or too light like lavender.. This one seems like a medium grape one, which is just what I am looking for.


    Thanks Steph!

    I like Monica and Toni from this collection. New to Zoya(GMA promo were my first) and am kind of glad I am not falling head over heels with their polish-the remover is a different story, LOVE. But I really like Monica because it reminds me of Dior Purple Mix for some reason. Maybe the same kind of tone there or dusty purple color-definitely not a dupe, though, but it has a similar feel. I am looking forward to wearing Monica a lot this fall. She looks gorgeous on you!

    This is beautiful!! I am all about purples and all different versions of it. Might have to add this to my collection soon!


    I love that song! I was 16 and remember playing it over and over when it came out. Lol Crazy it was 14 years ago!

    really pretty shade :) But I agree, purples like this are a bit overdone...

    I personally don't own many red toned purples -- among my many, MANY purples -- but this one is just so classy. Looks fabulous on you!
