Nothing to Disclose
*These products are Cruelty Free
♥
Good morning! Today I have some swatches for you of the 4 MatteVelvet polishes being re-released by Zoya. I did these swatches quite a while back, but I never posted them because, well, they were discontinued and I didn't want to send people scrambling for something not easily found. I also did swatches of some of the others (cough *Harlow* cough) but today I just have the 4 that ARE easily available now from Zoya.com. Of course they are limited edition, so if you want them, now is the time!
Zoya MatteVelvets
These polishes (still 5-free and cruelty free) are matte finish polishes that are so popular right now. It's no surprise that they've been resurrected for this holiday season! The only surprise is that the most popular one, Harlow, isn't among them. Of course Harlow wasn't part of this original collection and it's not necessarily as "winter" as these. But maybe they will bring it back one day. One can hope!
Because these are matte finish, they are formulated to be worn without a base coat or a top coat. They dry very quickly and do NOT like to be over-manipulated. Plus, if you have imperfections, they will definitely show with these polishes. If you'll notice in my photos, you can see the ridges in my nails.
Continued after the jump...
These all 4 had the same formula and application for me with Dovima being the most "covering" - you can't see my ridges as prominently with that one. I only used one coat for these swatches and only top coat where indicated, so you could see them both ways. They have a great shimmer either way, which sets them apart from the flat mattes in my opinion.

Dovima is a black matte.

Savita is a medium purple.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Veruschka is a forest green.

So what do you think? Will you be grabbing these while they're available this time? Or have you already? Of course my favorite is Savita. Gotta love purple!
All of the color, none of the shine - for a limited time!

Glad I have 3 of the 4 - considering grabbing Dovima though!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous! I'm happy I have Posh and Verushka already but it seems I will have to let Dovima and Savita slip by. I'd love to get them but since Zoya doesn't do international shipping and they are not available anyplace else the LE is kind of a bummer for non-US lacquer enthusiasts. I'm glad though that at least some people get a second chance to buy them :)
ReplyDeleteThe only one I have is Dovima so that trio is calling me. Do you like them better than the OPI Suedes? Any staining issues?
ReplyDeleteI don't really buy OPI but I do have one of the suedes that was either a gift or from a blog sale and no, I don't like them better than the OPI suedes. There were no staining issues with any of them but the formula it a little more finicky than the suedes. ♥
ReplyDeleteI love suede but I hate that it gets buffed and shiny the longer your wear it, I need to put more matte top coat over it every few days to keep it that finish.
ReplyDeleteI have Savita and Veruschka in my mountain of untried polish. I don't feel the need for Dovima, but I would like Posh at some point. Thank you for showing them with top coat also. I do always like to see the matte polishes both ways.
