Today, I'm wrapping up the Zoya Satin Collection with another fun fall metallic. Claudine is a dark charcoal steel-gray with lots of silver shimmers in a metallic finish.
I really like this shade of gray. It's dark enough to be modern, but not so dark that it's black. It has a great formula. Each coat goes on so smooth like butter without streakiness. It's also pigmented. You can get away with just one coat, though I did another just to make sure everything appears extra even for the swatches.
After trying the whole collection, I'm really thrilled with it. I love all the rich jewel tones; they're exactly the sorts of colors I like to wear to ward off the dreariness of fall. My favorite shades are Channing and Mason, and I also love the versatility of Maria Luisa. I'd love to know what you think of this collection. Any favs to join your fall wardrobe? :-)
You can find Claudine on Zoya.com for $8 for 0.5 fl oz. If you are new to Zoya, you can get your first two bottles of Zoya for $8 - $9 total and free shipping! More info HERE.

I like greys that don't pretend to be black, so I also like this one a lot! Perhaps it's even good for stamping, who knows :)
ReplyDeleteI also like that it's not black. Stamping... yes, this would be great for that. It's so smooth and pigmented. :)
Deletewhat a lovely shade :)
ReplyDeletePretty grey. Great for fall
ReplyDeleteYes, it really is. :)
DeleteI love nice dark shimmery shades that don't look black.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's definitely a plus for me too! :)
DeleteHappy Labour Day dear Yun!!! We don't celebrate this Holiday in Switzerland so for me while it was a working day it was very slow since I am solely working with the US. Claudine is very sophisticated and elegant on you, I love it. My favorites were Mason and the blue and the effect Top Coat - thank you for another great Collection Review xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Christine! Oooh I love slow days at work... so relaxing. :) Those three are really pretty... I can totally see why you like them. :D
DeleteIt's a gorgeous fall/winter shade! I love how you only need one coat with metallic polishes :)
ReplyDeleteYes, one-coaters are always awesome! :D
DeleteOoh I was afraid it would be too blackened, but yeah, it definitely looks like a true gray. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYep, it's the perfect darkened gray shade! :)
DeleteSuch a perfect and gothic shade of grey! I need this polish!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great color... cool and sophisticated! I'm glad you like it! :)
DeleteThis is a lovely color! It's like "off black." Very classy.
ReplyDeleteOff black! Yes, that's a totally clever way of describing it! :D
DeleteI would wear this every day! I love these charcoal metallics. A more edgy "neutral" for fall :)
ReplyDeleteFor sure! It's a great way to remain neutral but still interesting for fall. :)
DeleteIt's gorgeous, it made me think of Chanel Noir Ceramic...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it, Maria! :)
DeleteI'm seeing a hint of green to this (not sure if it's just the lighting) which I think adds that extra interest and complexity. You're so dedicated with your swatches - the application is always flawless and so consistent :)
ReplyDeleteNo, the green is my bad. I think it's a reflection of the trees outside the window. The gray is so reflective, it just picks up every darn thing lol. :D Thanks so much, that's really kind of you to say! <3
Deletevery nice color
ReplyDeleteI really like this shade! I have a Sally Hansen polish that is a similar shade but it chips easily :( x
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it! If you're looking for a better formula, Zoyas usually last a week on me with no chipping. :)
