I know, Valentine’s Day is over, but I wanted to make sure you know about Janel, the gorgeous shade of red that Zoya launched as part of the Fall 2015 Collection. If you only buy one shade of red, I think Zoya Janel is it! Perfect for work or for going out at night. Sophisticated, sexy, adult.
Janel is an opaque red cream with a warm undertone, but it suits my cool-toned skin nonetheless. It covered well in one coat, but I applied two for good measure. (As usual, pardon my shaky hand mani.)
If you are a red polish lover, I strongly recommend Zoya Janel to you. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Zoya polish is 5-free, cruelty-free, and it’s sold at Ulta as well as on the Zoya website. Price $10.
For Valentine’s Day, I did an accent nail with the slightly disappointing Color Club 50 Shades of Love Heart Topper LUV02, a clear topper with white and red hearts (reviewed here). Unfortunately, the hearts are not well distributed throughout the polish, so you have to fish around to find and place them. But it’s cute anyway.
Love this color! Do you have a favorite Zoya shade?
Wow, this is one seriously gorgeous red polish, Allison! It looks spectacular on you, too!

Thank you, Helen! I think this is my favorite red polish of all time 😀
Gorgeous shade! I don’t normally wear a lot of red polish, but this one is too gorgeous not to pick up.

I do wear red, but though I have lots of red polish, this one was too good to pass up. I saw it in nail bloggers reviews of Zoya’s Fall 2015 collection, and when they had their pay the shipping and get 4 shades free, I knew I had to get it.
That is a perfect Valentines shade!

It is perfection in red!
Love the bright red colour of this polish 🙂
I think it’s my all-time favorite shade of red, Albertine. I’m obsessed
I totally agree with you, this is a perfect red! I like my reds a bit deep and this is it.

I think this red is elegant, sophisticated, classy, feminine, timeless, not brash…obviously, I could go on and on singing its praises. One of my best purchases so far this year 😉
Such a perfect red! I love it is glossy without being too shiny.

Well said! That’s exactly right. It’s such a rich looking, classic, sophisticated red. I just love it
My favorite Zoya shade is Cosmo.

Cosmo is brilliant! Unfortunately, for some reason, I don’t have Cosmo but I have Godiva which is more muted but I love it.
LOVE Zoya polishes – I honestly can’t remember if I have this one or not!

Excellent choice for Valentine’s day!

Thank you! I’m obsessed with this red
I bought a Zoya shade named Talia because of my granddaughter. It’s rare to find her name on anything so I had to have it.

That’s so cool, Marcia! I must look it up and see the shade. Talia is a beautiful name!
Such a perfect red! Love Zoya!

I agree!
I love a perfect, classic red. I don’t know what my favorite red is… China Glaze Ruby Pumps is my sentimental fave, as it was my first ever CG polish. I adore Zoya Sookie. OPI Big Apple Red… I just love red polish.
I adore red too. I’m going to have to check out all your picks next!
I agree, this is a beautiful and sexy red!

The hearts on the accent nail are cute! Too bad the heart nail polish topper wasn’t what you hoped it would be, but I still think it turned out really pretty.

The hearts are so cute that I struggle along with them for Valentine’s Day and maybe once or twice a year. I move ’em around with toothpicks! But if it was easier to use, I’d probably wear it more often.
Beautiful classic red mani! I think my favorite Zoya red is still Carmen though, but this one is super pretty too <3
I must check out Carmen! The name along is intriguing coz Carmen is one of my favorite operas 🙂
I have a good selection of polishes from zoya, but I’m not sure if I have any reds… lots of purples though. lol This shade is really pretty… I think I would enjoy it on my toes.

Purples are your shades! I’m an Aries and I have taken red to heart <3
That is a stunner of a red!! I love the hearts you added.

Thank you, Shelley! I adore red and hearts, my perfect combo
Super cute accent nail! I just used Janel, too! I love this color except it seems to stain on me. My nails soak up every color so I’m not surprised that it did.

Oh no, that’s too bad! Zoya Giovanna, the gorgeous deep teal, stains my nails. Oh well, sometimes it’s worth it!
What an awesome Red VDay Mani by Zoya!
