Zoya Cashmeres & Satins: Louise

press sample

Zoya's Autumn 2013 collection, Cashmeres & Satins, has six beautiful crèmes, six gorgeous shimmers and a striking glitter top coat.  I'm starting with the Cashmeres, because they are fabulous fall colors in a flawless formula.

Louise is a rich chocolate color, but please don't nibble your nails! :)  I can't wait to wear this one with a gold glitter top coat this fall.  The formula was flawless, a perfect consistency, extremely pigmented, opaque in two coats and shiny without top coat.

Livingstone is a bright, slightly orange-leaning red.  It's not the most flattering red for my skin tone, but it's a very classic color.  The formula was flawless, a perfect consistency, extremely pigmented, opaque in two coats and shiny without top coat.

Today's polish is Hunter, a dark, slightly yellow-toned green.  The color is dark, but never appears black and lighter and less yellow-toned than Zoya Shawn.  The formula was flawless, a perfect consistency, extremely pigmented, opaque in two coats and shiny without top coat.

First up is Flynn, a medium, slightly yellow-toned beige.  The color is work-safe and quite flattering and doesn't disappear into my pale skin.  The formula was flawless, a perfect consistency, extremely pigmented, opaque in two coats and shiny without top coat.

Franken Frosting Strawberry Creme

purchased by me

This polish is just plain adorable!  Strawberry Creme has pink and blue glitter in a white base.  It was very easy to work with, opaque in two coats, and I didn't need to fish for glitter.  It dried matte and textured, but a coat of Gelous followed by a coat of Diamont made it smooth, shiny and swoon-worthy.

Franken Frosting Pink Garden Salad

purchased by me

Pink Garden Salad is a cute glitter top coat with gold-to-green hexes and pink butterflies.  I used one coat over Zoya Avril, and didn't have to do any fishing for the butterflies!  It did dry a bit bumpy, but a good thick top coat (Nubar Diamont) fixed that.
