Happy Birthday to me 
And what better way to celebrate than to show you all my new favourite polish.
Behold, Zoya Ivanka!
Gahhhh. It’s just so beautiful! Ivanka is a gorgeous, glowy, sparkly green foil. It is stunning, it is amazing, it is my new favourite.
This was two coats. I wish I could say it wore well but wow, this chipped and peeled most of one finger off in less than two hours from when I painted it. I touched it up twice in the space of two days. Really disappointing, but so worth it.
Ivanka is from the Sparkle collection and I got her in a blog sale a little while back. I also got Mimi, a gorgeous purple from the same collection. There are still a couple I want to get, including Charla. I would have to say this is possibly the only polish I’ve ever owned that I’ve considered getting a back up of.
What do you think?

Happy birthday! :)
ReplyDeleteCool colour, too bad about the chipping!
Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteTry some different base and top coat combos - I read about a specific ingredient that doesn't play well with zoyas. I forget what it was but I know the aussie non chip ulta3 doesn't have it in.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
ReplyDeleteZoya didn't play nice for me either & I was too lazy to try & find the right combo
Happy Birthday Em.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing this polish. I recently caved and bought this off ebay, but it's not here yet. I can't wait to try it it look fabulous!
Thanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteYes! I read on someone's blog that there's an ingredient in most top coats which Zoya doesn't play nice with.. very interesting! If only I could get a hold of a bottle of Ulta3 top coat!!
