Little known fact: Zoya can be purchased in New York City :)
I read that the ladies over at PolishSis had recently been to New York City and came home with Zoya. In the comments, someone had asked where the Zoya was found, and using the assistance of Google translate, I learned of the Polished Beauty Bar on the Upper West Side!
Polished Beauty Bar is a neat salon that does manicures, pedicures, facials, massages, and waxing. Like most NYC businesses, it's not super big inside - the minute I entered, every employee and patron stared right at me. To be perfectly honest, pre-blog Amy would have walked in and walked right out, it was that awkward. But no! I was determined to find the Zoya!
Toward the back of the salon is a great display and selection of Zoyas for sale. There were colors from the new summer collections, and older staples. If you go, I would suggest asking an employee to show you where the Zoya is. I picked up three colors: Jules, Gemma, and Zara.
Jules is a very unique gold polish with a foil like finish. What makes this unique is the pewter tones, which I absolutely love. The brush and application was perfect, aka "standard" for Zoya :)
I had to try OPI Silver Shatter over Jules. The result was an interesting yet subtle metallic mani.
Polished Beauty Bar is located on 250 West 78th Street (off Broadway). Zoya can also be purchased online.
uh uh uh look so pretty!!
ReplyDeletei've been dying to get jules.. hope it's arrive next week :D..

Yay! I'm glad you were able to find some Zoya. Ulta just started carrying them in Albuquerque and I hope other places will be soon to follow. I love your pics. And the silver over the gold is a great combo!
ReplyDeleteI love this one too, it's gorge!!
ReplyDeleteI hate when you walk into a store and everyone stares at you.
ReplyDeleteOne of these days, I'm just gonna burst into song and dance, just to give them something to really look at.
Very lovely they have a new and wonderful home. Now, I used to be the same way with dusty shops and some of the nail smaller nail salons. They get a bit "crabby" that I don't want a mani or pedi but I want to look at any polish they have for sale. I'm not intimidated any longer and YaY that you aren't either.
ReplyDeleteDo they run for the same price there?
