My Collection, Swatched: Zoya Faye (Day 10)

Are you all still with me?  I hope you are enjoying the Zoyas, I am having fun swatching them! 

Faye is a gorgeous fleck glitter.  It is a light purple base with gold fleck, and it looks great on the nails as it shows up as a glitter duochrome: Gorgeous!  The formula was great, but I used 3 coats for the swatch to get it fully opaque.

My Collection, Swatched: Nina Ultra Pro Molten Gold

Molten Gold is a gorgeous duochrome that flashes gold and rose-gold/pink.  It is a beautiful color and is opaque in 2 coats, but I usually add a third coat in case there are any patches due to application.  The color is so beautiful, it looks like the most perfect sunset in a bottle.  The duochrome is visible on the nail and looks like it is on fire: Love!

My Collection, Swatched: Julep Sienna

Julep Sienna is a metallic champagne, gold color. I am usually not a fan of this type of finish, but this color is gorgeous!  I love the metallic/foil finish on this one because it does not show too many brushstrokes.   I would recommend using a ridgefiller basecoat with this polish to get the most perfect finish.  The image shows two coats of the color, which is all you need for full opacity.  I fell in love with this polish once I went outside, it has a beautiful shine in sunlight.

My Collection, Swatched: Julep Zoe

Julep Zoe is a burnished copper/bronze color with a metallic finish.  The polish covers in two coats, but does show some brushstrokes, so I would recommend being careful with this color.  While I am not a big fan of metallic finishes, I do like the color of this one because it is unique and unlike anything else I own. 

This image is outdoors without flash. The picture shows a lot more orange than is visible in real life.  The polish has more of a bronze tone to it, like the bottle image above.

This is indoors without flash. This image is a better representation of how it looks in real life, but still showing a lot of orange.
