Zoya Celestia

Hey there! Can you believe it's already March? I could swear that yesterday was New Years. Time has been flying for quite a while now, but it seems that 2022 is hurtling by exceptionally fast! 

I also realized as I was taking the photos for this post that I've been not only writing about but wearing a LOT of duochrome/color-shift polishes recently. I was never much into that type of finish, but it's seriously grown on me and I can safely say that I'm obsessed! I also won't be breaking my streak, because today we've got yet another shifty beauty to look at!

First, I want to disclose that I got this as part of Zoya's INSANE Valentine's Day sale. 6 free polishes with any $30 purchase... sign me up! Seriously, though, that's $72 worth of polish completely free. I'm consistently amazed with the sales that Zoya runs, but this is the first time I've taken advantage of it! 

This is Zoya Celestia, shown here in 2 coats (you may need one more if your nails are on the longer side). How frickin' pretty is this? I was under the impression that it was just a regular silver holo, but to my pleasant surprise, it features an intense blue/purple shift. Here you can see the cool blue flash that lends it an icy look. Doesn't it just remind you of freshly fallen snow sparkling on the ground? Ugh, I absolutely love it. Another great thing about this polish - one layer of top coat (I use Seche Vive) brings this to a nearly perfect smooth finish. I honestly detest the feeling of chunky glitter on my nails, so the fact that this is only very slightly bumpy makes me love it that much more!

And... BAM! Purple in ya face! Well, not so much in this photo -- the shift is much more apparent in person. However, you can definitely see it here! I apologize also that the camera focused more on the bottle than on my nails, especially in the first pic... it just couldn't resist honing in on that densely-packed holo goodness! I can't blame it -- the only thing more mesmerizing than Celestia on the nails is Celestia in the bottle! And can we talk about how perfect that name is? It really is celestial! I should also mention that this is a fairly new release, as part of their summer 2021 Cosmic Pop collection. The other two Cosmic Pop polishes are gorgeous as well, but this one I just couldn't resist!

On a more personal note, I am getting my wisdom teeth removed this Friday. I'm so not excited... and yet I kind of am, because the bottom right one has been giving me some trouble lately. Wish me luck!

And until next time... PEACE! xoxo
