Zoya Swatches Part 1

So, my friends, here is my first installment of my Zoya swatches. They were sorta quick 'n' dirty, meaning that I used only basecoat and however many coats of color it took to be opaque. No topcoat, no cleaup. I wrote a couple thoughts on each just to be helpful. Without further ado, here's the first batch!


Savita. Matte Velvet. 2 coats. Medium purple shimmer, kinda pinky duochrome in certain lights.



Ali. Neon pink creme. 2 coats.



Renee. Neon pink, leaning more coral. 3 coats.



Blair. Awesome velvety blackened red shimmer. More depth than pictured. 2 coats.



Sloane. Deep shimmery purple/wine color. 2 coats. Beautiful.



Envy. Deep green creme. Mine is very obviously green, some say it's very blackened. I disagree, but that's me. 2 coats. Gorgeous.



Sofia. Pinked purple. Maybe magenta? 2 coats, lovely.



Ginessa. Gross shimmery white with silver glitter. Pooled and looked lumpy. 3 coats.



Racquel. Warm red creme, 2 coats, great formula.



Sam. Deep blood red, so gorgeous, 3 coats, excellent formula. My most used Zoya.



Roxy. Medium fuchsia jelly with glitter. I only put on 2 coats but you need three. GORGEOUS.



Zara. Light lilac with intense gold shimmer, so pretty and understated. 2 coats.



Lael. Slightly darker than this, a straight up plum creme. Great formula. 2 coats.



Rihana. Medium pinked purple shimmer with a definite gold flash (can't see below though). 2 coats. Like Blair, much richer in person.



Jo. Medium periwinkle shimmer. 2 coats. First time I wore it I hated the formula, but while swatching it was nice! Hit or miss, I guess. Cool color.



Yasmeen. Definitely one of Zoya's stars, a deep shimmery purple with strong gold flash. 2 coats, deep, rich, velvety gorgeous (like Blair & Rihana, better in person). Love.



Tallulah. Wicked bright shimmery blue. Love this!! 2 coats. So happy and pretty.



Pinta. A blue toned plum creme (Lael leans more red). 2 coats, another gorgeous Zoya creme.



Richelle. A gold foil shimmer, mine had the WORST formula, similar to Ginessa. Lumpy and pool-y, I hated it! The color is so neat. 2 coats.



Midori. Shimmery spring green with strong gold shimmer, 2 coats. Very fun.


Phew!!
