Zoya Ultra Glitter Astra!

Oh my...

To think that I once came to the conclusion that I would not wear glitter nail polish because taking it off was a hassle!

No more!

Zoya Ultra Glitters are expanding my horizon in what I am willing to go through to wear amazing polish.

Like China Glaze Fortune Teller, I can already tell that, not only will I gladly deal with the clean up task, but I will be getting these polishes again when I run out; and should Zoya make more (oh please do!) and I can get a deal for them, (budget prevents me from getting polish on a regular basis for $7 a bottle at the moment! =/ ) I will be getting as many as they can make!


That is why I love Zoya so! Not only do they know how to feed my wild color addiction for nail polish, they do promos and discounts enough that even people on a budget, like I am, can get a good amount of their polish for a good price!

That is why I will be a lifelong Zoya fan. I tell everyone who comments on my polish that I get some of my best ones from Zoya. I already have a few friends hooked on them!


Now on to the glittery goodness!

Out of the three, Luna, Astra, and Nova, I picked Astra first.



Zoya Astra is a beautiful raspberry pink glitter in a pink jelly base. While it looked like it should have been lighter on the computer screen when I first saw it, I love the color so! Since I have put it on, I cannot stop staring at my nails! I keep getting distracted.
I have nothing else like it at all!



In usual Zoya fashion, the color is something to get glitter fanatics drooling over, but aslo the application of Astra was flawless. It was thick but not stringy or hard to control. It went just where I wanted and stayed there.


So far, I would have to say it is one of the best applications I have ever had with a polish. The clean up consisted of one q-tip worth and was not truly needed had I not bothered.


I was expecting these to be good, but I got near perfection.

And boy does this baby pop in the sun!



It throws the light so nicely. I have to remind myself to watch the road, and not the way Astra glitters in the sun, when I am driving!


This was two nice coats, though it could have used three if I wanted. But two good coats will prevent the nail line from showing through, so it is up to you how many you apply.


One top coat of Seche Vite, and it was perfect for me. It was no longer rough. slightly textured, yes, but nothing bad at all. Two coats would have that glass like smooth feel if desired, but I think one worked just fine for me.

The glitter lays so smooth that only one coat is needed to seal it. Seche Vite made the glitter pop, even inside at night.


My sister picked it up for me when she went shopping. I told her to come back with a top coat of some kind, as my Sally brand was clouding tips, and no way was I going to have that with the Ultra Glitters, so the darling thing got me my first bottle of Seche Vite and I can say I think I am already hooked after one application! It made my nails shine so!


I think this would also be one of the best Valentine's Day polishes. It is just the right color of pink for that day. My sister has already said she wants to borrow it for Valentine's Day!




I may be gushing, but really, how could you not over this?
I cannot wait to try the others! I am sure they are just as amazing as Astra is!

You should go get these as soon as you can!
Zoya's website. Just search "ultra." All three will be there.

I just had to see how a Konad looked over it!
This is plate m70.
