If you remember their last promotion and the fiasco that ensued the following month with my order, as I waited for my two free polishes to arrive.

I am hoping the same doesn't happen again this time around, but given the offer one can only expect the worst as crowds of women make a mad dash to zoya.com to claim their three free bottles!

Alas, I am an eternal pessimist.

This, however, did not stop me from joining in the madness. I purchased:

Zoya Trixie

Zoya Nova

Zoya Paz

.....getting ready for spring and summer, obviously.

And the promotional colors I chose are:

Zoya Shawn

Zoya Mitzi

Zoya Adina

So much color.

So much shine.

So much obsession.

What did you ladies get????

XOXO, Varnish

Refresh your memory....Zoya promotion from early January

February 07, 2012 by Francesca Nunez in Lacquer Lust, Nailed It!

Remember this Zoya promotion from early January? Yeah, I hardly do either.

Luckily, Gloss, as well as most everyone I know, received their Zoya polishes within a couple weeks of ordering.

I, on the other hand, had no luck.

My story begins on the 8th of January when I eagerly place my order with Zoya (Dove and Minka).

About two weeks later, when I heard of others receiving their orders, I realized I had never even received an email confirming the packaged had been shipped. So, I emailed Zoya, making sure to attach my original confirmation email, asking where my order was and if it has been sent yet.

They never responded :(

But about three days later I received an email from Zoya confirming that my package had been shipped on January 24th, which was the same day this email was sent, two weeks after my order was originally placed.

Oh well, no worries. It's a promotion, so they were probably crazy busy!....reminding myself to be patient and thankful for the special promotion for two free bottles of polish!

About a week later, I came home from work to find this package at my door!

Thrilled, I dove in head first!

This is what I found!

Gasp!

Only one bottle of polish and NOT either of the two colors I originally ordered on the 8th of January, three weeks prior.

(Exhibit A: Dove and Minka on the packaging slip)

Immediately, I was filled with grief and anguish

Ok ok, I'm being dramatic. But if you are as obsessed with nail polish as me, then you understand.

To top it off, Zoya is on the east coast, which means I had to wait until morning to contact them to notify them of their mistake.

How would I sleep, tossing and turning with nightmares of lacquer delays?!?

Alas, I made it through the night and place my call directly after my shower, hair wet and all! I prepared for the worst, expecting Zoya to deny me my Dove and Minka!

I called, spoke with customer service about the mistake, they apologized, and approximately three minutes later they confirmed my original package via email, and put it on a rush order! Not even asking me to return the color they sent me by mistake!

No attitude from the customer service agent or anything (you know how they can be)!

Score!

Three days later, my Dove and Minka arrived!

So, yes, I had to wait about a month to get them, but in the meantime I obtained another free polish, Zoya's Jaunita, due to their mistake.

(In order from left to right- Minka, Dove, and Juanita)

And, I have to say, although it took forever and I was salivating for weeks with thoughts of unconsummated nail polish orders, I am quite pleased with the results!

ZOYA — FREE 2 Polish Giveaway (ends 010912 @ 11:59 p.m. ET!)

January 05, 2012 by Francesca Nunez in Lacquer Lust

Oh, KITTENS...

It's our LUCKY day!!!!!!! My pal "Whiskey" just tipped me off to an amazing promotion over at ZOYA's website. (THANKS, W.) Thanks also to Refinery29. Always an excellent resource!

ZOYA, the all-natural nail polish company is giving away two free nail polishes. To each and every customer.

That's right. You don't need to buy X amount of bottles, sign away your firstborn, provide any exceedingly intimate details. NADA. All you need to know is the secret code: ZOYA2012.

So, pick two bottles you like (or MORE, if you have difficulty controlling yourself, such as I do), and once you're going through checkout, enter the code and two polishes are FREE. All you do is pay for shipping & handling.

[The deal's over at 11:59 p.m. ET on January 9 (this upcoming Monday). Please note that it does not include colors from the new True and Fleck collections.]

CLICK HERE TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE ZOYA SITE!

SO WHERE TO BEGIN?! There are a bazillion colors to choose from! Not to worry, I've done the work for you. :) Assuming you trust my nail polish wisdom and judgement, allow me to show you some of the Zoya creme de la creme.

It was really tough to cull these down to my selects! But I told myself that I had a ~$20 limit. That meant four and only four polishes. No need to go cray cray. Here are the shades I chose:
