Before I start let me say that these all have the nearly flawless formula we can expect from Zoya. I wanted to mention that up front rather than repeating myself 12 times.
Zoya Rumor
Rumor is described as a full-coverage mauve taupe with a subtle shimmer. My swatches show 2 coats with glossy top coat.
Zoya Jenna
Jenna is described as a full-coverage dusty rose pink cream with blue undertones. My swatches show 2 coats with glossy top coat.
Zoya Ruthie
Ruthie is described as a full-coverage raspberry rose cream. My swatches show 2 coats with glossy top coat. This could be a one coater with a slightly thicker coat.
Zoya Maryann
Maryann is described as a full-coverage pink-toned rose with soft glowing shimmer. My swatches show 2 coats with glossy top coat.
Zoya Donnie
Donnie is described as a full-coverage purple-toned sangria cream. My swatches show 2 coats with glossy top coat. Again, you could get away with one coat if you wanted to.
Zoya Kendra
Kendra is described as a beautiful full-coverage marsala cream. My swatches show 2 coats with glossy top coat. It probably could be a single coat.
Zoya Alyssa
Alyssa is described as a full-coverage red-toned purple cranberry cream. My swatches show 2 coats with glossy top coat. Opaque in a single coat.
Zoya Rachael
Rachael is described as a full-coverage mulberry berry cream. My swatches show 2 coats with glossy top coat. Opaque in a single coat.
Zoya Maeve
Maeve is described as a full-coverage concord grape cream. My swatches show 2 coats with glossy top coat. Opaque in just one coat. My personal favorite from this collection.
Zoya Devin
Devin is described as a steel blue with hints of multicolored shimmer in a dense foil finish. My swatches show 3 coats with glossy top coat. This was the only polish in this collection that needed 3 coats.
Zoya Gardner
Gardner is described as a deep periwinkle with a vibrant magenta shimmer in a dense foil finish. My swatches show 2 coats with glossy top coat.
Zoya Leighton
Leighton is described as a deeply saturated blackened aubergine cream. My swatches show 2 coats with glossy top coat. Opaque in just one coat.
My thoughts on this collection: They all have the smooth dependable formula we can count on from Zoya. This collection has a nice mix of cremes, shimmers, and metallics. Unfortunately that’s about where my enthusiasm ends. It is very mauve heavy, which seems particularly odd coming off the very pink/red heavy summer collection. At this point I feel like I’m just yearning for some different colors. Blues, Greens, Orange, even a mustard yellow would be amazing to see from Zoya. Unfortunately it seems we will have to wait till next year for some real variety. With that being said though I do have a few from this collection that I liked quite well. It really all comes down to color preferences, if you love mauve and red shades you’re probably going to really enjoy this collection.
Which do you plan on picking up or have you already grabbed your favorites? My top picks are Jenni, Donnie, Kendra and Maeve.
