I will start by showing you the Designer collection today which consists of six creams perfect for fall. Since there are lots of photos to show you, I'll get right to it...
Rekha (Bibhu Mohapatra custom shade)
A deep red jelly cream. It is slightly darker than the classic bright red which makes it look richer. The jelly-like formula of this polish makes it unique from the other creams in this collection. It took three coats to reach full opacity. The nail line is not visible in real life as it is in the photos...

Toni
A dark berry cream. I was not a fan of the shade after the first coat, but the second coat really won me over. I'm like it now and this is just the type of shade I love to wear in the fall. The formula is great, very smooth and easy to work with. Two coats for full coverage....

Monica
A dusky purple cream. It looks so warm and cozy to me, but that could be because it is the perfect match for the blanket I'm wrapped in right now. The cream formula applies very smoothly and provides full coverage in two coats...

Natty
A smokey blue cream. If you twisted my arm and made me choose, this is probably my favorite shade from this collection. I just love the dusky blue shade. Trying not to sound too redundant, but great formula on this one as well. Two coats as seen here...

Evvie (Peter Som custom Shade)
A smokey, darkened green cream. Beautiful color and wonderful formula to match. Another winner in my book. This is two coats with a top coat...

Noot
A dark gray cream with a hint of green. You might know by now how much I love gray polish and this is no exception. The formula as with the rest of these polishes is very nice. Two coats for full, even coverage...

Overall I'm so impressed with this collection and I love the smokey/dusky look to the shades. It is a nice quality to these polishes. The formula on these creams, other than Rekha, is the same. Smooth application with two coats for full coverage. Rekha has a bit of a jelly look to it, so it takes three layers to build up for full coverage.
Personally, I love fall shades because they can be worn year round and unlike bright neon summer shades, the are generally work appropriate.
I would love to know what you think of these. Any favorites picked out?

ReplyDelete@henshx, My nails are real. I do not use acrylics or false nails. Take a look at my clean up tutorial for how I finish the manicure. http://wackylaki.blogspot.com/2012/02/tutorial-tuesday-clean-up.html
ReplyDeleteI hope this helps. :)
This is my favourite out of the 3 Zoya collection for fall. I love Natty the most. I wished I could see these in real life before buying them :(
ReplyDeletethanks for the review! I think I might need all of these... being a New Yorker , I wear mostly dark colors all year long and nailpolish is no exception.
ReplyDelete@Simona, Natty is beautiful! You will love it. Do you have any stores or salons in your area that sell Zoya?
ReplyDeleteYou could try the Salon locator on Zoya's website (http://www.zoya.com/content/salon/)
Good luck! :)
@Barbara, I'm not a New Yorker, but I can wear dark colors all year long too. These are right up my alley :)
