Zoya Lovely Collection

The Zoya Lovely collection for Spring 2013 is just what it claims to be, lovely! The beautiful pastels are ready to put you in a Spring mood and make me think of Easter candy. The collection contains three shimmers which Zoya classifies as metallic and three sweet pastel creams. I present to you my swatches...


Zoya Piaf - "Fresh Forsythia Yellow Metallic" - (Originally designed for Fashion Designer Zang Toi.)
A buttery yellow with a translucent shimmer. The shimmer seems to be made up of tiny flecks which are pearly in most light, but do reflect a golden shine at times. This has a wonderful formula which is easy to apply and provides full coverage in just two coats...





Swatch Details
Brand: Zoya
Collection: Lovely, Spring 2013
Color Name/Number: Piaf, ZP652
Number of coats: 2
Top Coat: No

Free of Camphor, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Toluene, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP)

Zoya Gie Gie - "Blushing Cherry Blossom Pink Metallic" - (Originally designed for Zang Toi.)
A soft ballerina pink with a pearly shimmer. This has the same type of pearly flecks as Piaf. There is just something so sweet and delicate about it that I can't resist. Great formula with very smooth application. It has fairly good coverage at two coats, but I used three for these swatches...

Zoya Julie - "Soft Wisteria Purple Metallic" - (Originally designed for Zang Toi.)
A soft lilac with a pearly shimmer. This again has the same type of little translucent flecks as the two above. It has more purple tint in real life than what turned out in swatches. These swatches are a bit too blue. The formula on this is very nice. I used three coats for these swatches, although two coats provides coverage that I would consider enough for daily wear. This is truly a beauty!...

Zoya Blu - "Lucky Hyacinth Blue Cream"
A pastel baby blue cream. There is something about my skin tone that makes this pop. It seems to have dried brighter than bottle color, which is very unusual. A gorgeous baby blue that I'm crazy for. Formula is very nice, smooth an creamy. Two coats for full coverage as seen here...

Zoya Neely - "Earliest Spring Green Cream" - (Originally designed for Peter Som)
A minty green cream. The formula is nice and creamy, maybe a touch thicker than I like, but still very workable. Definitely one of my favorites from this collection. I am loving this beautiful green. Two coats for full coverage...

Zoya Jacqueline - "Perfect Magnolia Nude Cream" - (Originally designed for Peter Som)
A sweet pastel yellow cream. The formula is similar to Neely, a teeny bit on the thick side, but still manageable. Two coats for full coverage here as well. This was the base for my sugar spun manicure a few days ago. This is really a perfect color in my opinion. Simply lovely! :)

  1. Hi! I love your blog, and this collection. I was wondering if you knew how Zoya Blu compares to OPI What's With The Cattitude. The latter is one I've been wanting for a while, and I wonder if the two are close at all? Or if you know of a dupe for that? Thanks so much! :)

  2. Unfortunately I do not own What's With the Cattitude to do an actual comparison or suggest a dupe for you. otherwise I definitely would. From looking at swatches online, Zoya Blu looks to be much lighter than the OPI.

    @Suzi, I'm glad you like them! :)

  4. Love! I'm impressed that the shimmers aren't brustrokey at all given how soft the shimmer is.
