This is a quick post: summer nails! I picked up some pastel minis during a spring promotion from Zoya: 3 mini size bottles delivered for $15. Minis are all I want these days because I own way too much nail polish. Who ever finishes a bottle of polish before it goes thick or separates?
The prettiest of the trio that I chose is Payne, a shade that I fear has been discontinued. Sorry, because it’s just that gorgeous.
Payne is an aqua pastel shimmer holographic polish that flashes deeper turquoise and green shades in the light. It’s a stunner.
In this blurry photo that I took when the sun was shining on my nails while we were riding in the car, you can kind of see the holo effect. Sorry for the blur!
What do you think of Payne? I wish it were still available!
I’ve talked about Zoya many times. Just to refresh your memory, it’s a 5-free, better for you brand.
Oh wow! that is a pretty nail polish. Goes well with your skin tone too Allison.
Thank you so much, Laura! I really love this shade, and it’s lasted fairly well too. So sad it’s discontinued. Glad to hear from you! How’s your summer going?
I love any green or blue hues on my nails, they look the best on me so this shade is seriously pretty, Allison!

I wish this wasn’t discontinued, Shireen, because it sounds like this mini would really suit you too. The shade and the color shift are definitely “seriously pretty”!
This shade is gorgeous! So perfect for summer. Keeping this one in mind for my next Zoya order 😉

So surprised they discontinued this one. Disappointing
Not only is it a pretty shade but it suits you perfectly.
Thank you, Marcia! In the past, I never thought of nail polish shades as suiting certain people/skintones. I was wrong
very pretty shade

Thank you, Babi! I was sad to discover it’s discontinued. It’s such a pretty one
That’s my kind of summer shade. I like the holo effect
The holo effect definitely makes this shade! Sorry that my comment program has no edit. I’m the editor, lol!
This shade is lovely!

I’m glad I managed to discover this pretty before it was gone!
It does kinda look like a holo, thanks for that blurry shot. It’s very helpful!

LOL, I was embarrassed to show that blurry shot, but the polish looks completely different in the sunshine. I should’ve tried again.
One of my favorite Zoyas! Looks great on you!
