This is the first color from Zoya I have ever used, so I wasn't sure what to expect formula/brush wise. This particular color is a very nice coral, although it is a bit sheer, which I was not expecting. It is definitely a 3-coater for me to get the color I want.
I find that the brush is very small and stiff, which I do not like. I like using this color on my toes and the small brush makes it easy on the smaller toes, but a bit of a pain on the big toe.
All in all, this is a nice polish and color, but I don't think I would buy again due to the brush.

Best jelly ever! Great formula - not streaky, even and level in 2 coats. Gorgeous soft coral/pink/melon shade that's bright yet soft somehow.
Love it

A very pretty pinkish coral with a jelly-ish finish. It was exactly the shade I was hoping for! I wanted to love this so much but it was a little odd in terms of formula. It's kinda sheer, but that's normal for a jelly. Somehow this seems to dry much slower than other polishes such that I am always messing this up. You also have to wait until it dries completely to layer over it (as I tried to do with Rica and ended up with a fail of a drag and mess). The one time I got it on properly, I did love the color and the shine! Overall though I had trouble applying it.

I do find this colour to be very pretty, however; I do not think there's anything particularly special about it. Maybe it's because most of my nail polish collection consists of pink, pink, and more pink. I was expecting this colour to be a bit more peachier/orange. It is listed as a a coral-pink. The website says it is a "semi-opaque bright pink coral with tangerine undertones." I honestly don't see the 'coral' or 'tangerine' in it. I like Zoya nail polishes a lot. I think they're great quality, they dry quickly, they apply evenly, and they have a great colour selection. I'm not knocking this polish, I do like the colour, it just wasn't the colour I was expecting. I will note that it does look very nice with my tanned skin. But I wouldn't buy it again, because I feel that I have so many pink polishes that mimic this shade.

LOVE this colour. It's a pinky coral with a jelly-type application (so it does have a slight learning curve).
Zoya does magnificent formulas and this colour is definitely a must buy!

On the Zoya website, it's described as "Semi-opaque bright pink coral with tangerine undertones. A bright tropical coral for a translucent jelly-like finish." In the photo, it looks more pink, but the description is pretty accurate. I've been searching for a jelly-like finish in a coral shade and this is perfect! I love how Zoya describes the colors as cool or warm and the rates the polish on a scale of sheer to opaque. This really helps when deciding on a color.
Anyhow, on to the review of Maya. This is from the Paradise collection. This color sort of reminds me of Essie's Cute As A Button, but the sheer version. For reference, I'm an NC40 or B60 (Shiseido make up shade listing) and Maya looks so pretty on medium to tan skin tone. This is the perfect shade for spring. I applied two coats and the tips of my nails are slightly visible, which is fine with me. Maya applies smooth with barely any streaking. It dries super glossy and a decent amount of time. I was able to wear Maya for about 4 days before it began to chip.
This is definitely my go-to shade for the spring and summer. I would recommend this shade to anyone looking for a pretty coral jelly-like finish.
