This morning, I showed you the
Designers Collection and now I have the Divas for you! I must admit that my finish of choice is creme, but I quite enjoyed their collection of metallics as well.

| Zoya Designers and Divas Collection for NYFW 2012 |
 |
| Zoya Gloss Trio: Paloma, Katherine and Frida |
 |
| Zoya Divas: Elisa, Suri, Song, Ray, FeiFei and Daul |
The first four (Elisa, Suri, Song and Ray) all had basically the same formula, smooth and easy - two coats for opacity. Actually, with medium heavy application Elisa, Suri and Song could be one-coaters, but I am a serial two-coater. The last two (FeiFei and Daul) are really something special...sort of a foil flaky metallic sparkle polish!
So let's get started!
-------------------------------------------
Elisa is an intense red with a metallic finish. Very glowy!

Suri is a bright royal purple with a metallic finish and what appears to be purple, blue and red shimmer.

Ray is a forest green metallic with what looks to be a green or silver shimmer. This one actually went on more like a frost and did have a few brush strokes visible but not enough to distract from the overall look of it.

FeiFei and Daul are definitely the odd ones out in this collection and they are amazing!!!
FeiFei is really difficult to describe. It's a steel blue sparkle polish with gold, green, blue and silver flakes/shimmer and what looks to be pink/red/gold duo/multi-chrome flakes! It, like its sister
Daul, goes on very sheer, but actually only needs two coats, which really surprised me.
Daul is a sparkle polish in a light purple base with gold foil flakes.
Daul is on my index and middle fingers and FeiFei is on my ring and pinky fingers...

What do you think of these? What are your "must haves" from this collection? I think my favorite look (so far) I've found with these is a toss up between the look of Paloma over FeiFei or FeiFei over Ray. Just AHHH-Mazing!

Holy crap!!!! These are amazing pics!!
ReplyDeleteWOAH!!!!! These are AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteOk, based on your picture, I need the entire collection. There are maybe 3 I could leave behind.... But not more then that!
Ray is the only one from this set that I don't LOVE. I'm debating between getting it anyway to have the whole set or skipping it. :)
ReplyDeletePam, it was actually my least favorite until I layered FeiFei over it. Did you see the pic of that? I love it!
DeleteRay is actually my favorite - along with Suri. :)
DeleteWow!! I don't own any Zoya's yet, but with this collection, I have to have it! I could do without Ray though. It really wasn't my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThese look so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWell now I have to have the entire collection! Your layering combos are all gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteFunny that Song is TARDIS blue.
ReplyDeleteLove almost all of these. Thanks for the pictures and your experiments.
Oh, the colours! Love them all and your swatches!!!
ReplyDeleteI did not need to see these...ugh....LOL!
ReplyDeleteSuper photos of your swatches here! Best I have seen of this collection. A few years ago I would have bought the entire set...but I have sooo many polishes now I need to really be choosy. I love, love the red one big time. Red metallics will always grab my heart strings. I also like the purple one if I will be able to see the goodies it has in it and not just under the microscope and a really good eyeball. I am so not into Daul - it falls into the group of all those similar shades like Faye from last year despite this one is more complex. I never thought about using the 2 as over-lays to the others in this collection - great idea.
ReplyDeleteGreat collection!
ReplyDeleteMy fav is fei fei! amazing!
These are amazing pics! Doesnt Daul look awesome over other colours! Particularly over Katherine, but some of the others too. That combo would also look awesome on a short manicure.
ReplyDeleteFeiFei looks pretty over the cooler colours!
