This collection from Zoya was released for Winter 2011, which for Australia is quite appropriate as we’ll be moving into Winter in a few more months. A general theme throughout this collection were taking colours and combining them with gray to turn them into more wearable colours, which I really loved! I work in a more conservative environment so I love that I can get away with shades like these.
All swatches are two coats with no top coat.
Avery
A blonde beige crème, a cool neutral shade perfect for most skin tones. Dior’s 220 is very similar only with more shimmer.
Carey
A periwinkle gray crème, Essie Cocktail Bling is just a tiny bit darker and Zoya’s Clove is a lighter version.
Kendal
A lavender beige crème, I was surprised that I wasn’t able to find any dupes in my own collection despite it not appearing to be the more unique of shades. I think this shade is much more suitable for medium to lighter skin tones, not sure how it would be for very dark skin tones.
Kennedy
A lovely pale french beige crème, being a sucker for nudes I can see this being great for the work environment. Essie’s Demure Vixen is a similar dupe with shimmer.
Kristen
A gull gray polish with a mild bluish hue, like a dusty blue. Eyeko’s Rain polish is similar (through now discounted) and Essie’s Sag Harbour has more green.
Megan
A taupe gray crème, this is a pretty unique shade and I couldn’t find anything similar.
very pretty indeed and lovely photos
Ahhh, I Love Megan. They’re all so gorgeous though, but that one is the clear standout to me. I absolutely love those kind of dove grey colours.
Megan and Carey are very pretty!
Megan, of course, interests me quite a bit. But all of these are quite rich and lovely.
