Zoya Divas Collection for NYFW 2012 with Gloss Trio

This morning, I showed you the Designers Collection and now I have the Divas for you! I must admit that my finish of choice is creme, but I quite enjoyed their collection of metallics as well.

Zoya Designers and Divas Collection for NYFW 2012

Zoya Gloss Trio: Paloma, Katherine and Frida

Zoya Divas: Elisa, Suri, Song, Ray, FeiFei and Daul

The first four (Elisa, Suri, Song and Ray) all had basically the same formula, smooth and easy - two coats for opacity. Actually, with medium heavy application Elisa, Suri and Song could be one-coaters, but I am a serial two-coater. The last two (FeiFei and Daul) are really something special...sort of a foil flaky metallic sparkle polish!

So let's get started!

-------------------------------------------

Elisa is an intense red with a metallic finish. Very glowy!

Zoya Elisa

And with a matte topper on the ring finger...

-----------------------------------------------

Suri is a bright royal purple with a metallic finish and what appears to be purple, blue and red shimmer.

----------------------------------------------

Song is a bright royal blue metallic with what appears to be small blue flakes.

Zoya Song

-----------------------------------------------

Ray is a forest green metallic with what looks to be a green or silver shimmer. This one actually went on more like a frost and did have a few brush strokes visible but not enough to distract from the overall look of it.

--------------------------------------------------

FeiFei and Daul are definitely the odd ones out in this collection and they are amazing!!!

FeiFei is really difficult to describe. It's a steel blue sparkle polish with gold, green, blue and silver flakes/shimmer and what looks to be pink/red/gold duo/multi-chrome flakes! It, like its sister Daul, goes on very sheer, but actually only needs two coats, which really surprised me.

Daul is a sparkle polish in a light purple base with gold foil flakes.

Daul is on my index and middle fingers and FeiFei is on my ring and pinky fingers...

Zoya FeiFei - just look at those flakes! (This is actually over Ray)

And what do they look like layered over other polishes? Well let's have a look...

And before I go, let's also have a look at the Glosses over the Sparkles!

What do you think of these? What are your "must haves" from this collection? I think my favorite look (so far) I've found with these is a toss up between the look of Paloma over FeiFei or FeiFei over Ray. Just AHHH-Mazing!

These are available at zoya.com for $8.00 each or in the Divas Collection Sampler for $48.00. Be sure and "like" Zoya's Facebook page for special promotions! You can also follow them on Twitter for latest news and promos.

Zoya Designers Collection for NYFW 2012 - Swatches and Review

I'm sure you have been seeing swatches pop up from the new Zoya Designers and Divas Collections for NYFW 2012 on the internet, as have I. But I really didn't fully appreciate them until I started trying them out. Zoya NEVER disappoints!

Zoya Designers and Divas Collections for NYFW 2012

Zoya Gloss Trio with Paloma, Katherine and Frida

Since this is going to be a long post as is it, I'm only going to be showing you the Designers Collection today with a few Glosses tossed in. See the Divas Collection here.

Zoya Designers Collection: Rekha, Toni, Monica, Natty, Evvie and Noot

The formula and application was the same on all six of these. Thinner than I expected but perfect application and two coats for opacity on all of them. The trick with these is to make sure to almost unload your brush completely before starting and then I found that I still had enough polish on the brush for two nails! I thought they were going to be too thin but the second coat worked its magic and the finish was perfect and glossy on all of them. All photos are with two coats of color and no top coat.

------------------------------------------

Rekha is a medium dark blue-base red creme. Blood red!

Zoya Rekha

And this is what Rekha looks like with the Gloss Trio...

on middle finger, Rekha with Paloma on ring finger and

----------------------------------------------------

Toni is a dusty, mulberry/raisin creme with warm undertones.

Zoya Toni

And Toni with the Gloss Trio...

----------------------------------------------------

Monica is a lovely blue-toned purple creme with cool undertones.

Natty is a dusty steel blue with strong grey undertones.

Zoya Natty

----------------------------------------------------

Evvie is a grey-based green with some slight blue undertones. This one was previously release as part of Zoya's Peter Som Designer Collection.

Zoya Evvie

------------------------------------------------

And finally Noot. Noot is a deep grey-based army green creme. In most lighting, this one looks to ME like Dior Perfecto with green added in. Gorgeous!

Zoya Noot

And here is Noot compared to Evvie...

And with the Gloss Trio...

Zoya Noot with Frida on index finger, two coats of Noot alone
on middle finger, Noot with Paloma on ring finger and Noot
with Katherine on pinky

Overall, there's not ONE of these that I didn't love. Before I tried them, I would have thought my favorite would have been either of the purples but Noot came from behind and stole my heart.
