Happy Friday everyone! Let's start the weekend off right, with a new holiday collection from Zoya! I am in love with this collection. Great job, Zoya!
 |
| Zoya Ornate Collection |
All of these have an amazing formula and I have a lot of photos for you to drool over so let's get started! Photos taken in various lighting situations so you can see how they look at different times.
---------------------------------------------------
First up is one of my favorites from the collection, Storm. Storm is a black base with holographic micro-flakes. So stunning. This was opaque in 2 coats but I used 3 for the photos for added depth and topped it off with one coat of Poshe.

Up next is Electra. Electra is silver and holographic "hairy" bar glitter in a clear base. This one is my least favorite of the collection, but that's just my personal opinion. It has a very good formula, especially for a glitter. This is ONE coat over Storm and it went on very evenly and smoothly.
(You can see photos of Electra over all of the other colors in this collection in Pointless Cafe's post here.)

Next we have Logan. Logan is a medium-to-dark forest green with a foil finish. It shifts to gold in some lighting, making it seem like it has a slight duochrome effect. It also has gold micro-flakes. WHEW. This is 2 coats and no topcoat.

Next is another one of my top three from this collection, Blaze. This is another one with micro-flakes! Blaze is a raspberry base and also had a great formula. This one was was a little bit less holo than Storm and Aurora. This is 2 coats and 1 coat of Poshe.

Next we have Ziv. Gold isn't usually my color, especially with my skin tone. But this one is a very nice shade and the depth is amazing. There are small coppery flecks or flakes maybe? The photos show 2 coats and no topcoat.

Lastly we have my other favorite, Aurora. Aurora is a lovely violet that is PACKED with the holographic micro-flakes. There is really nothing else to say, other than you need it. This is 3 coats (although it was opaque in two) topped with one coat of Poshe.

ReplyDeleteHay I ordered aurora, blaze and stoorm yesterday! I cant wait to get them :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for my set to arrive!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I ordered Storm & Aurora. I can't wait for them to arrive. :) They will be my 1st ever Zoya polishes.
ReplyDeleteElectra and Aurora <3
ReplyDeleteI loooooooooovvvveeeee Zoya Storm!!!! Gahhhh need that in my stash! Too beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat swatches! I really fell in love with Ziv! *_* Thank goodness the others don't appeal to me or that I have similar shades already.
ReplyDeleteI am nuts for Blaze and Aurora. I think Aurora might just end up being a sell out for Zoya if they don't have plans to keep producing it. Storm is nice - finally a black polish that I can see 'the stuff' inside it! So many I have picked up look interesting and sink away when put on the nails. Only one from this collection I don't like is the bar glitter. Like last holiday, the bar glitter from Zoya is too long and too dense for my taste. It leaves the nails looking hairy which is not a look I like at all. Ziv was a big surprise for me in this collection - did not expect to like it so much..but then I fell also for the gold (Goldeneye) in the OPI holiday collection too (both very different from each other)...so maybe I am going to be rockin' gold nails more this yr....might have something to do with I moved away from always wearing my white metal jewelry to pulling out my yellow (and some pink) gold again and loving it - so glad I bought what I did when the gold prices were something tolerable!
ReplyDeleteZoya, Zoya, don't you know what you're doing to my wallet?! So many lovely polishes!
ReplyDeleteI love these! I picked up Storm, Aurora, and Blaze--gotta love the holo! Hehe, I've got Blaze on right now, and it's crazy gorgeous! I hope they continue making polishes like these. Lovely swatches! ^_^
ReplyDeleteOMG I am so obsessed with this collection! My favorites are Storm, Aurora and Blaze, but I would really just LOVE to have all of them!
ReplyDeleteI want my bottles now! Love all of them exept Electra.
ReplyDeleteYou got amazing pictures of the holo ones! I NEED THESE. well, except for the hairy one lol
ReplyDeleteMy niece (5yo) loves to sit and watch as I look these swatches. When looking at Aurora and Stormy, she said it was like catching stars! And we called Electra "Hairy MClary" (a dog character from one of her books) Other posts have been "outer-space nails", "winter nails".
ReplyDeleteI should feel bad for corrupting one so early.
I'm a bit late to the party but I've recently acquired Logan and Ziv and they are both awesome. I was never a fan of foils... or golds, until I saw Ziv and It didn't take much for me to fall in love with Logan, greens are my weakness. Storm is next on my list!
