Ok this post might reveal some crazy OCD or just weird-isms about myself. I am a huge fan of yellow polish! And huge is an understatement! Yellow is by far my favorite color to wear in the summer and I go through an entire bottle of yellow polish every summer. I have been the same way since I started painting my nails. But I won’t touch yellow polishes any other time except for the summer months. I don’t know why I save it for the summer because its such a cheery, bright color and it would be nice in the spring or any other season to cheer me up. But in my weirdness I will only let myself wear it in the summer and I start to crave wearing yellow around mid-spring. I have been wanting to wear yellow for the longest and I finally let myself put on a yellow color for my last final. Needless to say, I didn’t take it off for 3 days and am now wearing another yellow polish. I have opened the floodgates and I have now opened the floodgates for a huge influx of yellow manicures. This came in my Zoya Earth Day order so it was only appropriate that I wear it first.
Zoya “Creamy” is the unknown Zoya yellow polish. Everyone talks about “Pippa” and claims that it is one of the best yellow polishes. I don’t own Pippa but I tend to favor yellow pastels more than traffic light yellow, so when I saw that Zoya had 2 yellow polishes and one was lighter, I was all over that. “Creamy” to me is amazing but almost too bright, and if I think this is too bright I wonder how Pippa would be on me. This is 3 coats and was an amazing application. One thing about yellow is that they are a nightmare to apply and normally are a streaky mess. This needed 3 coats but evened out nicely and took a good 3 days to chip. No complaints about the formula but I expected the color to be more of a pastel.
Are any of you like me, where you have a signature color in a season and won’t let yourself wear it any other time? Or am I the only crazy one who refuses to wear certain colors if it isn’t a certain season? And do any of you have Pippa and how does it compare to this?
I have Pippa… The coverage is good, but I think I might have a bad bottle because mine is super thick and goopy! I haven’t tried thinning it yet, but think it will be fine once I do. I have worn Pippa and I got a ton of compliments on it!
I don’t like to wear pinks in the winter! It just feels so weird, no matter what the shade! So I understand what you mean! 🙂 I’ve also only worn a yellow polish once, but this makes me want to try it again!
do it. it always cheers me up to have yellow nails its so bright and cheery
Yellow is the it colour from lately haha nice
I have Pippa but haven’t worn it yet. I agree with you, though – yellows are notoriously evil when it comes to application! I don’t have this shade, but it looks so pretty… I may have to cave and get it. I love yellow polish too!
