Zoya Yara

If you know me well, you know that I'm not a green gal. I understand I'm in the minority with this. A lot of polish addicts and bloggers love green polish. I have nothing against green, I just don't find it the most flattering polish color on me. I think green polishes make up the smallest portion of my stash with the exception of yellow. On occasion, I do find an unexpected green that sways me a bit more to the green side....

Zoya Yara
Yara is a olive green with a micro gold glitter.

I'm shocked how much I love this. I initially purchased a few of the Smoke & Mirrors collection from Zoya, but I did not get this one. I saw this a few weeks later at Ulta, and it looked so pretty in person I couldn't pass it up. I scared, since it was green, but I'm surprised how this doesn't look off-putting on me. It's a very flattering color, and plus I hear this is a trendy color for fall. I'm not "trendy", but I sometimes find some small joy in being a little bit trendy when it comes to polish. I approve!

Happy Wednesday!

    Oh good, I'm SO glad you like this because it looks great on you!! It's such a gorgeous shade. Yup, I am one of those green polish addicts - it used to be purple for me, but I got burnt out, and green slowly took over.

    I have Yara and find it absolutely gorgeous. Although I am one of those "green" girls. :~P

    I'm not a green gal either (reminds me of reptile claws), but this color really looks good on you!

    I was really on the fence about purchasing this polish as well, but after I swatched it, it totally wowed me!

    Works for you!  For me, brown polish and I do not mix, just can't get into it! I love the shimmer in this, so complex!

    This shade has the look of deep texture. And it's a softened green that looks more appealing on a lot of different skin tones. You are sooooo rocking this one!!!

    I passed on this as well-but the more I see it, the more I want it! And i'm a green freak!

    Yara is definitely my favorite of the mirrors side of the collection... I'm a green girl though and could live in green polish. lol

    It does look super pretty on you! I'd initially passed it over, but went back and looked at it again after you told me you bought it. It's actually a really pretty color! And I'm not a fan of olive/army greens at all. I'm still thinking about grabbing it. :)
