-ALICIA TORELLO, LEAD MANICURIST FOR ZOYA

White, the nail look expresses the continued elegance the
designer embodies.

NAIL LOOK: NORMADIC WOMAN | NAIL TECH: GINA EDWARDS FOR ZOYA

“THE COLLECTION FEATURED A LOT OF MAUVE AND NATURAL ORGANIC FABRICS. TO EVOKE THE TEXTURE AND EFFORTLESS,
ORGANIC BEAUTY OF THE LINE, THE OMBRÉ NAIL LOOK REFLECTED THIS PALETTE.”
-GINA EDWARDS, LEAD MANICURIST FOR ZOYA

DETAILS
The Tome SS 2019 collection inspired by French Impressionist
painters Marie Cassat and Berthe Moirsot, both their art and
clothing. Their work influenced the color scheme of the
line and was reinterpreted into the collection. In addition,
the sustainable material used to create the clothing, the
line featured handmade tassels, made by resettled refugee
women in Texas. Two subtly different hombre looks were
created to complement the clothing and suit the models’
skin tones.

HOW TO GET THE LOOK
Start with a clean nail by using ZOYA REMOVE+ to remove
any leftover polish or residue. Follow with ZOYA NAKED
MANICURE NAKED BASE. For color, apply two coats of ZOYA
in CARSON. Then apply a coat at the top of the nail of ZOYA
in RUTHIE or ZOYA in BRANDI (depending on which color
fits your skin tone best). Dab a small sponge onto the line of
the nail where the two shades meet to really create a ombré
effect. Finish the nail look off with ZOYA NAKED MANICURE
GLOSSY SEAL add a few drops of ZOYA FAST DROPS for a
quick dry.

NAIL LOOK: HALF MOON AROUND THE WORLD | NAIL TECH: MISS POP FOR ZOYA

“MANY OF THE PIECES SHOWED A BIT OF SKIN. THE IDEA OF A SEXY WOMAN WHO REMAINS VERY CLASSY AND SOPHISTICATED
WAS REPRESENTED IN THE NAIL LOOK. THE NEGATIVE SPACE, HALF-MOON SYMBOLIZED THAT HINT OF SEXINESS COMBINED
WITH THIS PERFECT SHADE OF NUDE THAT LOOKS GREAT ON ALL SKIN TONES. FOR THE PEDICURE, A SUPER SEXY RED PAIRED
WELL WITH THE LACE UP HEELS WORN BY THE MODELS.” -MISS POP, LEAD MANICURIST FOR ZOYA

DETAILS
The Oscar de la Renta SS 2019 collection brought to life the true
Oscar de la Renta woman with a feminine edge. Gowns ranged
from sheer lace to bright billowing dresses with shimmery and
ruffled embellishments to stand out. The nail look was created
using a classic nude with the half-moon design with the toes
using a contrasting shade.

HOW TO GET THE LOOK
Begin by cleaning and prepping the nail with ZOYA REMOVE+.
Follow with ZOYA Naked Manicure Naked Base. To create a
half moon design, apply stencil sticker paper to the top half
of nail so it’s covered. For the color, apply two coats of ZOYA
in CHANTAL to the top of the nail, leaving the half-moon free
of any nail polish to create the negative space. If you don’t
have the stencil readily available, try your best to create the
look without it. Then, take a q-tip with some Remove Plus to
clean up the half-moon. Finish it off by applying ZOYA NAKED
MANICURE GLOSSY SEAL over the full nail to give it a nice shiny
finish. For a quick dry, add a few drops of ZOYA FAST DROPS.
For the pedicure, make sure your toes are free of any polish by
using ZOYA REMOVE+. Follow with ZOYA NAKED MANICURE
NAKED BASE. For color, apply two coats of ZOYA in SHERI. Add
ZOYA NAKED MANICURE GLOSSY SEAL for a perfect, high shine
finish. For a quick dry, add a few drops of ZOYA FAST DROPS.

NAIL LOOK: AMERICAN ROMANCE | NAIL TECH: MOMO FOR ZOYA

“THE NAIL LOOK REFLECTED THE SPIRIT OF THE BROCK WOMAN WHO IS CONFIDENT, PASSIONATE AND BOLD.”
-MOMO, LEAD MANICURIST FOR ZOYA

DETAILS
The Brock Collection SS 2019 was designed to reflect the soul
and the spirit of the Brock Woman: confident, passionate
and optimistic. The clothing reflected a raw American
romance full of boldness, vibrant prints and bright colors
juxtaposed with pale pastels and cotton voiles. Inspired by
this contrast in details and colors, the chosen nail look was
kept very simple using Alyssa. This shade was subtly present
throughout the collection.

HOW TO GET THE LOOK
Begin by cleaning and prepping the nail with ZOYA
REMOVE+. Follow with ZOYA NAKED MANICURE NAKED
BASE. For color, apply two coats of ZOYA in ALYSSA for a
rich color. Then add ZOYA NAKED MANICURE GLOSSY SEAL

NAIL LOOK: JELLO NAILS | NAIL TECH: HOLLY FALCONE FOR ZOYA

“WITH LEOPARD PRINTS, SPARKLES AND STRIPES, THE NAILS ADDED A PLAYFUL FEEL, VERY MUCH ECHOING SANDY’S
ECLECTIC SPIRIT.” -HOLLY FALCONE, LEAD MANICURIST FOR ZOYA

DETAILS
The Sandy Liang SS 2019 collection held true to the designer’s
tomboy yet girl-girl style. The collection featured a mix of
colors, prints, and fabrics. To speak to the eclectic collection,
three distinct nail polish shades were chosen: Paris, Alex,
and Lindsey. While seemingly pigmented in the bottle, when
applied to the nails, provided a “jello” like look that represented
the mix of patterns in the line.

HOW TO GET THE LOOK
Start by prepping the nail with ZOYA REMOVE+. Follow with
ZOYA NAKED MANICURE NAKED BASE. For color, apply a single
coat of ZOYA in PARIS. Add ZOYA NAKED MANICURE GLOSSY
SEAL to give the nails that perfect, high shine finish. For a quick
dry, add a few drops of ZOYA FAST DROPS. For ZOYA in ALEX or
LINDSEY, repeat these steps.

NAIL LOOK: 1980’s PUNK GRAPHICS | NAIL TECH: HOLLY FALCONE FOR ZOYA

“I CREATED A NAIL LOOK WITH AN ATTITUDE THAT ALSO REFLECTED THE FUN ‘80s CLUB VIBE OF THE COLLECTION.”
 – HOLLY FALCONE, LEAD MANICURIST FOR ZOYA

DETAILS
The Nicole Miller SS 2019 Collection took a trip down
memory lane to show that fashion is timeless and fun. The
line was inspired by the ‘80s club scene: a little GoGo’s, a
little Blondie, some cheetah print and sequins and a whole
lot of attitude. To reflect this feeling of the collection, ZOYA
in Ali and ZOYA in Willa were used to create the fun nail art.

HOW TO GET THE LOOK
Begin by cleaning and prepping the nail with ZOYA Remove+.
Follow with ZOYA Naked Manicure Naked Base. Start off with
the right hand. For the thumbs use ZOYA in Ali to create a
flame pattern starting from the base of the nail. Use a thin
tipped brush and start with the top of the nail to create
three to four hills. Fill in those hills with Ali. On the left hand,
grab ZOYA in Willa to spell out “BAD” starting with a B on the
ring finger, an A on the middle finger and a D on the pointer
finger. For both pinky fingers, use a thin brush and draw a
line straight down the middle of the nail with ZOYA in Willa.
Then draw a line across the middle of the nail so the pinky is
separated into four boxes. Fill in the top left corner box and
the right bottom corner box of the nail to get the checkered
nail art. Finish off with ZOYA Naked Manicure Glossy Seal
to give the nails that perfect and fora quick dry, add a few
drops of ZOYA Fast Drops.

the earth and growing into something new. The assortment

in symbolizing a reawakening and growth back into the world.

Hottest Nail Polish Trends for Fall 2018

Press, , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

With New York Fashion week behind us, the hottest nail trends for Fall 2018 were seen on the runway. One of the trending looks was from the Bibhu Mohapatra show which featured Zoya as the nail sponsor! The look was featured on Cosmopolitan.

Lead nail tech, Miss Pop created a bedazzled look using two different shades – Zoya in Tawny and Zoya in Aspen. Both looks featured a negative space look with a gorgeous jewel.

“Who says nail art stops at your cuticle? Complement your negative space mani by gluing (eyelash glue works like a charm) a stud by each knuckle, like the nails at Bibhu Mohapatra.” – Cosmopolitan
