Zoya Reva

Reva is one of the six polishes that made up Zoya's Summer 2011 Sunshine Collection. Zoya describes this polish as "a cool toned strawberry red with glowing golden metallic sparkle.  A very rich and luxurious looking gilded red." This is a beautiful polish-- a wonderful deep red berry color with tons of gold foil flecks. Very pretty. The polish goes on very smoothly; I used two coats here. Being very foil-like in nature, these polishes are a little difficult to remove, so soak a cotton ball or round in nail polish remover and press it onto the nail for several seconds before wiping the polish off, which helps with the removal.

As a side note, Zoya is having a great promo right now where if you buy their Color Lock System ($48), which includes two different base coats, a top coat, quick drying drops, and their polish rejuvenator, you can pick up either the Sunshine Collection or Summertime Collection for FREE, including free shipping! While $48 may seem steep, think about what you get: all the products for taking care of your nails, plus six polishes! It's a steal. If I didn't already own collections, I would definitely take advantage of it, because it's a great deal. This promo runs through Tuesday, June 28th.
