Continuing with the Zoya Smoke Collection for Spring 2011, today I have Dree for you. Before I move on to Dree, I had one quick note about the removal of Zoya Cynthia to pass on to you. You know how dark blues often leave Smurf fingers in their wake? Well, I removed Cynthia with the pink Beauty Secrets acetone-based remover, and there was literally zero staining of my skin or nails, so that's a huge plus for a dark blue.
Back to Zoya Dree... That's the olive green creme in the Smoke Collection, and my initial reaction was not particularly thrilled just because I have olive green cremes. Once I started applying it, I became far more enthusiastic about it for several reasons. First, the shade is a good one - it's not as yellow as RBL No More War nor as washed out as Chanel Khaki Vert. The application is very good, although a little bit slow for me since the brush is small and my nails are not, but that comes down to making the color change take 14 minutes instead of 8-10, which is completely reasonable. Dree's dry time is exceptionally good - when I was painting the seventh nail, I bumped the freshly painted third nail and only made a tiny fixable mark in it, and it was completely dry very fast using everyday base and top coats for me. The polish is very pigmented so two thin coats were all that I needed and it dries very shiny. Here's Zoya Dree with base and top coat in the sun.

That's what I know about Zoya Dree. So far so good on the Smoke Collection, and I'm looking forward to the other four. Until next time, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!
