| 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!

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!

And here is Noot compared to Evvie...

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.
