Zoya Claudine

Hi, you guys! I have the day off from work for Labor Day, so I'm totally being slow and lazy lol. Hope you're having a great start to your week. :-)

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.

Zoya Neve

Happy weekend! :-) You guys have any plans for the weekend? Nothing much going on with me... just relaxing for the long weekend and making a list of all the places I want to eat over the next few days hehe.

I've got another color from Zoya Satin Collection to share with you. Neve is a dark indigo blue with lots of fine shimmers in a metallic finish.

From the bottle, I thought this color would be more purple on the nails, but it's actually mostly blue with just a small hint of purple. It kind of reminds me of the color of the ink in those old Bic pens. The shimmers in here are plentiful but more subtle due to the dark base. The formula is good, so application is smooth and easy. And two coats is all you need for great coverage.

You can find Neve 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.

Zoya Giovanna

Happy Thursday! It's the last day of the work week for me. We're taking tomorrow off to make it a four-day holiday weekend, and I'm sooo excited! *does the TGIT dance* But first, I have to make it through today. :D

Let's see... next up in our series on the Zoya Satin Collection is Giovanna. Giovanna is a cool-toned, teal-leaning emerald green with lots of shimmers in a metallic finish.

This is another stunning jewel tone from the fall collection, I must say. The color makes me think of Zoya Holly, though the two are quite different. Holly is the quintessential warm green with lots and lots of golden undertones, while Giovanna is definitely a cool green with lots of blue undertones. Its formula is as good as we've come to expect from Zoya metallics. It goes on smoothly without any applications issues, and two coats is all you need for complete coverage. One thing to note: this polish can stain a bit the skin and cuticles, so be careful with removal.

You can find Giovanna 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.

Zoya Maria Luisa

Hi, you guys! Happy hump day, as camels would say! :)

Today, I've got another color from the Zoya Satin Collection to share with you. While the other colors in the collection are all vibrant jewel tones, Maria Luisa is a topper comprised of warm golden flakes in a sheer base.

This is such a pretty topper. The gold flakes instantly jazz up any color, and you can use it for a full-on mani or for just an accent nail. What amazed me the most about this polish though is its formula. The flake density in here is amazing! What you see in the swatches is just one coat over Zoya Mason, and it's already at the perfect coverage. The flakes go onto the nails so evenly and smoothly that it feels like I'm applying a creme polish. There are no bald spots or clumps, just perfectly even distribution of flakes. :-)

You can find Maria Luisa 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.

Zoya Mason

Hi, you guys! Sorry for missing yesterday's post. NSYNC's Sunday night VMA performance proved to be too exciting, and I got nothing done for like a whole day lol. :D

But not to worry, I'm back today with another jewel-toned polish from the Zoya Satin Collection. :-) Mason is a rich magenta purple with loads of shimmers in a metallic finish.

The formula for Mason is a little on the thinner side and just a tad watery. The first coat didn't give much pigmentation, but the second coat added a lot and I was able to achieve pretty good coverage with it. It's a lovely purple hue, and I love that it's not too blue-leaning, as purples tend to be. There's enough warmth in here to make this a more universally flattering shade.

You can find Mason 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.

Zoya Channing

Hi, you guys! Hope you're having an awesome Sunday! :-) For me, I'm just about to die of anticipation. NSYNC, my favorite band from my teen years, is rumored to be reuniting for a performance at the VMAs tonight!! Eeeek! I couldn't be more excited. Seriously, I haven't felt this giddy since the last time I waited for an NSYNC performance more than 10 years ago lol. :D

Today, I want to kick off the Zoya Satin Fall 2013 Collection. It's a set of vibrant jewel-toned colors, and you guys know how much I love those hehe. So first up is Channing, a rich, rustic, copper-y red with lots of golden shimmers that dries to a metallic finish.

Right from the first strokes onto my fingers, this color just wow-ed me! I think this shade epitomizes the color of fall and its fiery, hue-changing foliage. This is probably my favorite shade from the collection, bound to become a staple in my fall polish wardrobe. The formula is fantastic, coming out in smooth and even coats with minimal streaking. It's also nicely pigmented, so you need just two quick coats and you're ready to go.

You can find Channing 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.
