PR Sample

Who is ready for Zoya's annual transitional collection? Introducing the Naturel 3 collection! Here are 6 more gorgeous neutral cremes for after the holidays and before Spring! As always, I'm so happy to receive a neutral collection from Zoya because I need some of these pinks and browns in my stash.

Oh yea, remember those shades of lipstick they came out with earlier? They paired 3 of them to coordinate with this polish collection and one of YOU will win all 3 lipsticks! Woop woop!

The first shade in this collection is Tatum. It is a warm-toned medium light nude cream. Per usual, it's an amazing 2-coat coverage cream and shines with the Glossy Seal top coat from Zoya.

Cathy is a light pink nude cream that actually blends in quite nicely with my skin tone. If I wanted the most natural look, I'd probably go with this shade. Again, gorgeous cream formula and full coverage in 2 coats.

Jill is a light mauve cream shade - a perfect in-between shade for those who aren't really into pink but still want a blushed nail shade. I love it - most mauve colors I dig so this was perfect for me.

Mary is a milk chocolate raisin cream shade. I don't have anything quite like this in my collection. It's a good one to keep around for next fall and definitely perfect as a transitional shade before Spring.

Gina is a medium chocolate brown cream. This may be a bit dark for some as a transitional color, but it certainly fits the spectrum for this Naturel collection.

Lastly, there's Debbie. She is a beautiful plum brown cream. I don't know why but I am absolutely obsessed with this color. I would wear this often - it's so cream and the coverage is perfect in 2 coats.

Zoya Naturel Deux - Swatches and Review

Thursday, August 07, 2014

Hello friends!!! Who needs a transitional palette cleanser? If you do, Zoya has you covered with this gorgeous Naturel Deux collection. If you loved the first Naturel collection, these slightly darker, but still neutral, shades will capture your heart too! All swatches are 2 coats and a layer of top coat.

Spencer is a creamy camel shade that just applies beautifully. I am always impressed with Zoya's cream polishes. They never disappoint me. All of these shades will look so different on every skin tone. I thought this would appear lighter than it does but I like it.

Chanelle is described as a toasted almond cream. I can totally see that but it looks more like coffee to me. It almost looks like the filling to a chocolate cream pie. Always food with me. Again, the formula is fantastic, dry time is great, and of course, color payoff is fantastic!

Emilia is that deep, dark chocolate shade you need to add to your collection. These shades are perfect from transitioning from all these bright summer shades and will take you far into the Fall season.

Madeline is described as a muted rose cream. I think that's a pretty good description of how it appears on my nails. I do love shades like this because of how neutral they are. I still can't get over how much I love Zoya cream polishes! AH, in love!

Aubrey is a medium mauve cream polish. It's almost cranberry-ish but not quite. I really dig this shade and, again, if you're looking for great neutral shades to wear, this is another one at the top of my list.

Marnie is a deep warm plum cream. This shade really gets me in the mood for fall. I was in a store the other day and already there were pumpkin themed things and everything for Fall. YES, need ALL the Fall things!

Zoya Naturel Collection - Review and Swatches

Monday, December 16, 2013

Hey guys! Today I have the brand new Zoya Naturel collection! This is a set of 6 very natural, very neutral shades that can be worn every day. I was so excited when I found out these colors were coming out because I do not have many neutral shades of polish my my own personal collection. This is a great starter set for anyone who wants to grab a variety of neutral shades.

With the exception of Chantal and Taylor [the two lightest shades], the polishes went on in 2 coats without any issues. All swatches are shown with no top coat.

Chantal is described as a French vanilla creme. It is such a lovely nude color. I used 3 thin coats of this. It was mostly opaque in 2 coats, but I did have a few spots to cover up.

Taylor is so similar to Chantal but slightly darker. In my opinion, you only need one of these colors in your stash. Taylor is described as a light toffee cream. This polish can be opaque in 2 coats, but as with Chantal, I applied a super thin 3rd coat just to make sure all my bare spots were covered, if any.

Now we're starting to get into the rosey shades. This one is called Rue and is described as boudoir blush cream. It is simply stunning once on the nail. You can barely see the color on my nail against my skin tone. If you're looking for a work-appropriate shade, this will certainly do it.

This next colors is Brigitte. It is described as bombshell mauve cream. Yes. I was so impressed with how creamy this shade was. For having no top coat on, this polish has quite the shine factor.

Moving on to some darker shades, Odette is described as sultry maroon cream. I definitely loved this shade on me. I don't think I have anything quite like it. Again, with no top coat on, this has a great shiny finish.

Normani is a sable mauve cream. It almost comes off as a bit taupe-y. Even though I'm in Florida and it's warm for most of the year, I do think this is a great Winter shade.

Are you a neutral shade fan? Do you think Zoya did a good job with this collection? These shades are available now on Zoya.com for $9 a piece or you can get the sampler of all 6 for $54. Visit them on Facebook or Twitter and let them know what you think!
