Zoya Satins Collection Swatches and Review

Today I would like to show you the Zoya Satins Collection which consists of five beautiful metallic shades and one flakie topper. This is the second half of Zoya's Fall collection. The first half named Cashmeres can be seen in yesterday's post and contains six gorgeous creams. These metallic shades remind me of brilliant gemstones such as topaz, amethyst, sapphire and emerald...


Channing
A burnt cooper orange metallic. This color is just Fall perfection, reminiscent of falling leaves. Formula is very nice and easy to work with. Two coats provides full coverage as I have in these swatches. No top coat...




Swatch Details
Brand: Zoya
Collection: Satins, Fall 2013
Color Name/Number: Channing, ZP691
Number of coats: 2
Top Coat: No

Free of Toluene, Camphor, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin and DBP

Mason
A deep violet metallic. It has beautiful tiny glass flecks sprinkled in which are best seen in the closeup photo. In the bottle it has a bit of a duochrome shift to copper, but it was hard to capture on the nail. Very nice formula which is fully opaque in two coats. Swatches are with no top coat...

Maria Luisa (over Mason)
Sheer yellow and champagne gold flakes in a clear base. I think it works best as a topper for a beautiful sparkle. I attempted this on it's own, but since the flakes themselves are somewhat sheer, even at four coats it did not provide good coverage. The flakes spread evenly on the nail and there is plenty of them in each brushstroke. I used just one coat over Mason for these swatches, with a top coat...

Claudine
A dark gunmetal gray metallic. My love for gray polish continues on! This is definitely a favorite of mine from this collection. It is very pigmented and you can probably get away with just one coat. I used my standard two for these swatches. They formula is perfect, very easy to apply. No top coat here...

Neve
A dark sapphire blue metallic. Another beauty in this collection. It has a very subtle hint of purple and bright blue shimmer magic sprinkled in. Two coats provides full coverage and the formula is again very easy to use. Happy to report that there was no staining for me with this blue. Swatches are with no top coat...

Giovanna
A deep emerald green metallic. The formula on this one is a bit sheer and patchy on the first coat, but completely evens out and provides great coverage with the second coat. Beautiful bright shimmer in this one that was freaking my camera out. Swatches are with no top coat...
