Press Sample
I am making my way through my swatch pile and although I swatched these, I never shared them. I also just realized that Zoya did not actually release a holiday collection, which is so unusual. As I was swatching this collection, I realized this collection is actually pretty festive and holiday like so no harm no foul that I did not end up swatching it until way later. Also it’s pretty transitional between winter and spring. Lastly, starting today, Zoya has a deal of 10 polishes for $25, so time to stock up. So let’s get to it!
Axelle: 2 coats. A luxurious, seductive red with a metallic gold finish.
Well, this is definitely a luxurious nail polish. I love this red and
it’s definitely bright and fun for the holidays. It does pull out some
red toes in my skin so I look a little lobster hands, but I don’t mind.
That gold shimmer is stunning. This one did stain a bit so wear basecoat and make sure you remove nicely.
I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of purple be called an enigmatic but I
guess this one is. It’s fairly bright and it dries matte so I am assuming
there is some neon in it. The formula is opaque but thin so I had some
flooding around the cuticles because I was a little sloppy while
applying so just be aware. This one kept pulling up as blue on my
camera, but trust me, it is definitely purple. This one lightly stains but not too badly.
Same as Bowie that this one is thin but opaque and dries matte. This is
a rich midnight blue and I can imagine how stunning it would be with a
flake topcoat such as Stella Chroma Tangled Tinsel. Unfortunately, this one is a
stainer so I’d rather put on a deep blue that does not stain.
I actually swatched this polish last, and it was the redeemer after
three incredibly rough cremes that stained the crap out of my nails. I like the shade of gray, as it is a bit calming rather than a harsh black with glitter which we’ve seen from Zoya before.
