Take Three Free! Zoya Pinterest Trio Contest

Zoya and Pinterest were having a repinning contest. It was called the "Take Three Free" Zoya Pinterest contest. What you had to do was repin your favorite colors from the new summer collection. From 5/22 till 6/5/2012. As many times as you wanted. The winning trio would go out for free if 20,000 or more pins were made in that time frame. Then when the time came you had to enter the code to get the free trio. The only catch was to pay for S&H which was $6.95 which wasn't bad. I didn't expect them to eat the shipping as well.

So I was somehow one of the lucky 2,000 people who were given a chance to get a trio of Zoya mini nail polishes. From the Beach and Surf 2012 collection. So which ever three colors were repinned the most. Those were the ones that would be chosen for the trio set. The colors that made the cut were Myrta, Kimber, and Zuza.

Myrta is a warm medium orange coral with a red undertone, gold and silver metallic shimmer, and a foil like finish. The coral color is soft and the foil finish gives it a soft warmth and glow. It is a cool opaque coral color.

Kimber is a rich, bright and saturated medium magenta pink with a strong gold metallic shimmer and a foil like finish. A hint of shiny gold makes this polish look electric. It is a warm opaque pink color.

Zuza is a deep oceanic turquoise with gold and silver metallic shimmer and a foil like finish. This color has the perfect marriage of blues and greens. It is a cool opaque blue green color.

So it seems out of all 12 in the collection the shimmer ones won over the cream shades. I really love the cream shades best. But, hey I wasn't the only one who voted. I guess so many people still like the shimmer shimmer. I'm just happy I was able to partake in this. Also shipping was really fast. I got my set in like 5 days not bad at all.
Since the contest was a great success and the trios sold out so fast since only 2,000 were available, they wanted to reward those who missed out but still participated in the contest for their favorite colors. That's why Zoya is still having a special deal on the Beach & Surf collection. You can pick 3 full-sized bottles for $15 + free shipping till 6/25/12, 11:59 PM EST. You must have participated in the repinning contest and have received an email stating the rules and how to redeem this new promotion. It is only one promo per address. Offer valid on www.zoya.com only. If you did not get an email from Zoya chances are you can not participate in this promo.

Sonia Kashuk 4 Piece Mini Nail Color Set- A Powerful Punch

I was in Target the other day and was so happy to find that this was restocked. There was only 2 left so I was in luck I had been trying to find this ever since it was released. This set of nail colors are aptly named A Powerful Punch. The set retails for $9.99. They're cute, bright and fun colors.

There are 4 great spring colors. Khaki Shorts, Making Waves, Ooh La La, and Tutti Frutti. These are exclusive to Target for the Sonia Kashuk limited edition spring collection. I really love these colors and the way they apply. They are kinda streaky at first coat but, become opaque and smooth after the second one is applied. I know that come spring/summer many nail polish companies do colors that are quite similar. This polish is good quality and has some staying power.

I was hesitant at first to getting this set. I then caved in and thus the quest began to finding this. It was sold out for weeks at many Targets that I visited. So every trip to Target I casually went by that section to see if there was one. Till I hit the jackpot. If your still able to find this I would highly recommend it. It's totally worth it.

This is what the colors look like with 2 coats and no top coat.

I really like these colors. I don't currently own an thing that is close to them. I'm not sure how long this collection will be in stores. I know that it is currently available at www.target.com. So what do you think of this collection? Will you try to find it? Do you already have it? If so do you like it? If you have any questions or comments please leave them below.
