Zoya Lulu Nail Polish Review


PRO'S: Love the milky peachy pink color, great formula, pretty fast drying time, & took about 1 week before it started chipping
CON: Super sheer

I was super excited to finally find a nail polish this color, but was quickly disappointed because of it's sheerness. I really like the formula of this nail polish since it is very non streaky and not too thick nor too thin. With one coat the color was barely visible. It took me at least 5 coats to get the true color on my nails. If you are a fan of this color and have the patience to keep to keep layering on the coats; this is for you. This would also be a great color for a manicure since the color is so sheer and does not streak. Overall, as much as I love this color, I don't really want to spend too much time layering on coats of this stuff. The huge CON pretty much outweighed all the PRO's for me.

Overall:     ♥ out of 5

Do you guys have this at your local Costco? 
Only $1.50 for 3 scoops and it's freaking delicious
