WEEKEND SPECIAL: Zoya Mirrors Collection Review {Pic Heavy}

Nimue


Closeup of Nimue


Nimue is a smoky muted thistle purple with blue and mauve tones and a silvered metallic finish. An unexpected soft metallic for an antiqued nail look.

Marina

Marina is a strongly blue-toned smoky silver-grey with a dusty metallic finish. A blue smoke shade to give a dreamy artistic look to the nails.

Yara

Yara is a medium smoky olive drab with an illuminating splash of bright gold glitter. An olive drab that's anything but- it's completely glam.

Tao


Closeup of Tao


Tao is a light smoke grey with blue undertones and a muted, softened metallic finish. A cool metallic machine shade for a rock'n'roll look.

Neeka


Closeup of Neeka


Neeka is a greyed amethyst with subtle red duochrome shimmer and bright gold glitter accents. A fascinating, unique shade that manages to be glittery but not too flashy.

Jem


Closeup of Jem


Jem is a dark red-toned purple base with metallic dark pink highlights and subtle gold duochrome flecks. This shade has it all; bold color, vampy drama, bright sparkle and a glam rock persona.

Altogether this collection is very gorgeous. The colors are perfect as well as their formulas. I will certainly be flaunting these polishes on my nails for the Autumn season. The Smoke collection is another pretty collection that is perfect and full of neutrals and vampy colors for the Autumn season. Their formulas were amazing and are so worth a purchase!

Collection sent for review.

WEEKEND SPECIAL: Zoya Smoke Collection Review + Dupe Alert! {Pic Heavy}

Jana


Jana up close


Jana is a medium nude putty creme with grey, mauve and purple tones. Definitely not your plain old nude, this one's edgy but still appropriate.

Petra


Petra up close


Petra is A dark, smoky, dusky grey creme with strong purple undertones. A popular purple-grey creme, darker than Kelly and with more purple tone.

Codie


Codie up close


Codie is a blackened espresso brown creme with subtle olive undertones. Great for when you want something dark and dramatic but not black.

Anja


Anja up close


Anja is a rich, deep, vampy red-toned wine purple with a glossy creme finish. This vampy shade is both sexy and elegant.

Cynthia


Cynthia up close


Cynthia is a smoky, blackened peacock teal with soft warm undertones. A very uncommon shade of blue for a subtle but funky look.

Dree


Dree up close


Dree is a light, dusty drab olive green with yellow tones and a touch of grey. Brings the look of camouflage to your nails for a subtle green look.

I hope you have enjoyed the swatches and review for the Smoke Collection. Be sure to stay tuned for the review of the Mirrors Collection!

So as I was swatching Jana, I noticed that I had a polish color that looked exactly the same. I pulled it out and swatched the two side by side. Now please do not misunderstand me, I am NOT in any way shape or form dissing Zoya polishes, I love them as well. I am comparing Jana to an inexpensive brand of polish for those who simply can not afford Zoya, but want a color similar or exactly the same as Jana. Luckily I caught the dupe and I am thrilled about it. The name of the polish is called Park Ave by NYC. It is from their Quick Dry line and only costs $1.99 plus tax. Once again, please do not take this the wrong way, I am simply giving budget friendly viewers multiple options when it comes to purchases of polish.
