Zoya Sooki Nail Polish Review

-

Continuing with the True Blood theme I thought Zoya Sooki nail polish would be a nice add in.  Granted it's not part of the Tarte for True Blood collection but who says it can't be a welcome addition?  Yes Truebies I know the name is missing an 'E' but look at this luscious color and you tell me it doesn't deserve a place. 



Go on, drool all over it. Look at that creamy jelly finish. That classic red that every girl should have in her arsenal, along with her little black dress and high heels that don't hurt your feet. Every one can wear this color. On me it tends to look a little orange or coral depending on the light, other times it looks red, lovely bright red. Cherry red even. Yum! 


I applied two even coats as best as I could but could have gotten away with 1 coat it's that opaque. The consistency was a little thick which I find a bit hard to work with, mostly cause I'm notorious for painting outside the lines. During clean up of the nail edge I didn't suffer any undo staining which was nice. It dried fairly quick for being a jelly finish, but those not familiar with jellies should be prepared to give yourself some extra drying time.

I used 2 base coats of Essie MillioNails (my nails are in horrible shape so I did two to be safe) and 1 top coat of OPI Top Coat. As you know nail polish hardly ever lasts longer than 24 hours on me before it begins to chip and peel. With Zoya Sooki was able to go a full 3 days before small chips on the edges started to appear and so far no peeling. This makes me very happy!


Zoya Sooki is available at most cosmetics retailers and salons as well as online at Zoya.

After 3 seasons of following the adventures of Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph across the four kingdoms of Water, Earth, Fire, and Air, fans will finally get to see what happens after the series ends.  In Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise Part 1 , we pick up immediately after the end of the series to find our heroes along side Fire King Zuko and Earth King Kuei deciding how best to handle the removal of the Fire Nation colonies.  It's decided that The Harmony Restoration Movement, named by Sokka of course, will uproot and move all the Fire Nation colonists back to their homeland in the Fire nation and out of the Earth Nation territory.  A fine idea to be sure but it's soon realized some things are not as easy as they seem and Aang must learn if he can bring peace to the Movement as well as keep a difficult promise to a friend. The book contains the usual hi jinks of course, coupled with the its ability to tackle big social and economic issues much like the show did.
