Zoya Whispers Collection Swatches & Review

Good morning beautiful! I hope your week is off to a nice start :) Today I have the Zoya Whispers collection to share with you! This is their "transitional" season collection, to ease us into Spring after the heavy colors of Winter. You remember how much I loved last year's transitional shades, the Naturel Satins, right? I was hoping for an equally awesome experience this year, especially since these shades were similar in tone to the Satins, albeit with a different finish. Let's see what I thought of these babies shall we?

Press Sample

Zoya Cala is a soft nude beige. This and all the others have more of a crelly formula, less opaque than a straight crème. This one applied alright, but was still streaky on two coats so I needed a third layer for full coverage. Stays very shiny when dry, as do the rest.

Zoya Ireland is a soft muted green, a wearable shade for those looking to step out of the color box a little, but not too far. This was similar in formula to Cala, streaky with two coats so I used a third.

Zoya April is a light, rosy toned neutral blush. This one was the most difficult for me. It seemed thin, almost watery, on the first coat. The second coat was definitely better, but I still felt it looked a little streaky after the third coat.

Zoya Lake is a softened blue. A little more vibrant than the rest of the shades, but still rather muted. This polish had a thicker formula than the previous three, but it still took three coats for full opacity.

Zoya Misty is an odd khaki taupe with a hint of green. Quite a different shade, and very appealing to me. This one was thicker like Lake, also requiring three coats. This is probably my favorite color in the collection.

Zoya Eastyn is last, a pale purpley grey. This is the shining star in the bunch, the best opacity, but with quite a thick formula. I had no streaks with this gal, opaque in two coats.

This collection might not have been the easiest for me to apply, but I do love the colors. I think if they were meant to be less opaque, it would've totally worked if they weren't streaky. And plenty of people have had good luck with them, so you might too. These are available on the Zoya website now for $10 each or $54 for the full collection. You should follow Zoya on their social media, like Facebook and Instagram if you're not already because they're always holding awesome sales. They did a pre-order of this collection for $30 a while ago! Let me know what you think of this collection and if you picked it up or not. What shade is your favorite?

Zoya Naturel Satins Collection Swatches & Review

Hey guys! Today I am bringing you Zoya's transitional season-between-winter-and-spring collection, the Naturel Satins. The finish of these are satin, meaning a hybrid of matte and shiny. They're not glossy, but there's still a hint of shine there. It's not chalky matte, but almost rubbery looking. There is kind of an eggshell texture to them too.

Press Sample

I have heard a lot of people had a tough time with the formulas of these, but I had a ridiculously good experience. They all applied easily and completely on two coats for me. They spread easily, dried quickly but not too much that they pulled up. And I found they self-leveled nicely so they appear very even. I didn't use a top coat with these, as recommended. I can't speak to anyone's experience but mine, and I really loved these.

First is Ana, described by Zoya as a "light, toasted almond." I see this as a slightly pink tinted pale beige. Super lovely and a perfect work appropriate shade.

Next is Brittany, introduced as a "rose mauve". I would agree with that and say it's very pale and slightly dusty. I wore this as a full mani and just adore the way it looks with my skin tone.

This one is Leah, said to be a "lavender tinged taupe". I would've said this was a blanched grey taupe but do see a little hint of lavender when I put it next to a true grey.

Rowan is a "suede taupe" satin, according to Zoya. I'd call this a medium/light taupe with a drop more of brown. I like this one a lot, it's kinda edgy.

Next we have Sage, a "mossy sage green". This is seriously gorgeous in pale satin form.

Last is Tove, described as a "misty slate grey". This pulled really blue on me but retained it's grey-ness. It must be a grey kinda season for nail polish, and I'm loving it!

These are available on Zoya's website for $9 each. I didn't expect to fall in love so hard with this collection. I've always enjoyed neutrals, but this new finish just pushed them over the edge for me. SO great and I hope they put out more colors as "satins". Have you tried these yet? Which shade is your favorite? If I had to pick, it'd be Brittany, but I'm glad I don't have to!

Love ya, mean it!
