Zoya Cashmeres & Satins: Claudine

press sample

Next from Zoya's Autumn 2013 collection, Cashmeres & Satins is Claudine, a deep grey metallic shimmer.  The formula was flawless, a perfect consistency, extremely pigmented, opaque in two coats and shiny without top coat.  Claudine does show brush strokes close-up, but not at conversational distance.  Indoors, Claudine is a steely grey, but in sunlight, it takes on an olive cast, making it unique in my stash!

Zoya Cashmeres & Satins: Channing

press sample

Zoya's Autumn 2013 collection, Cashmeres & Satins, has six beautiful crèmes, six gorgeous shimmers and a striking glitter top coat.  Last week I showed off the Cashmeres, so this week is the Satins.  Five of the six are beautiful metallic shimmers and one is a glitter top coat.

First up is Channing, a dark copper beauty.  If you've read this blog for any time, you know I have a weakness for copper! ;) The formula was flawless, a perfect consistency, extremely pigmented, opaque in two coats and shiny without top coat.  Channing does show brush strokes close-up.  They're not visible at conversational distance, but if it bothers you to know there are brush strokes in your polish, skip Channing (and miss out on a gorgeous color :P ).

Sailor is a perfect navy blue--no more needs to be said.  This color would look great with nautical manicures!  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.
