Spring Nail Colors 2019: Zoya Innocence Collection, Swatches and Review

Zoya has created a soft, beautiful collection of 6 nail polish colors for spring, the Innocence Collection.  You are going to love them and actually can wear them now while we wait for the spring flowers that are starting to peak through the snow!  These easy to wear colors are  already  a hit at the salon.
