Zoya 2009 Spring Collection: Twist.

Get out the Spring polish, ladies. I am still seeing so many dark nails on the tips of my friends and it is time for a much needed change. Consider bringing in some color now, with the Twist collection from Zoya.

As my first foray into Zoya polish, it could not have been any better. These colors are gorgeous!

I brought the shade Cassi to my manicurist last week and it looks so pretty on my nails. It is a soft, sparkling creamy peach color that has me totally in the mood for warmer weather. One week later, my nails have not faded or chipped at all. Love!

The Zoya Spring 2009 Twist Collection:

• Harley - soft shimmering gray
• Jo - shimmering silver blue metallic
• Malia - violet cream
• Barbie - Shimmering Soft Pink
• Cassi - shimmering soft peach
• Moxie - red plum cream

Each nail polish retails for $ 6 each or you can pick up the whole collection as a set for $36.

If you are similarly new to the line of Zoya like me, it is important to note a few facts about the polish and the other Zoya products.
