Zoya Isla & Zoya Kalmia

Well, I told you I wanted to finish up the Truth set tonight and I still had these 2 polishes to swatch, but laziness set in. So what we have is a skittled look with beautiful colors that unfortunately, don't look so beautiful together. Hopefully you get the general idea of the colors individually and forgive me for being lazy! Isla is a rich, shimmery deep ruby red that seems to have a black base. I do believe that of the 6 polishes in the Truth set, this one is my favorite. I was quite taken with Drew, the carnation pink shimmer I posted first in this series, but Isla is in a class of it's own. Kalmia is pretty also, as it appears to be the color of caramelized peaches (those are delicious over ice cream, by the way). It's a burnt orange shade, but it has a touch of golden shimmer, which seems to soften it somewhat.
So glad you swatched these - I actually picked out Isla so now I'm happy I did, looks GORGEOUS! Yay! Even more excited to get it now.
ReplyDeleteNow I want ice cream, with caramelized peaches. I've never had that, but I love caramel. Can't wait for fall!
Wow, that was a bit random. I must need to go to bed.
Wow,I love Zoya! The colours they have are always gorgeous,and these ones look great on you.Too bad they don't ship to Canada :(
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my 3! I like Kalmia a lot.
ReplyDeleteI am more and more impressed with Zoya the more I look at swatches. Unfortunately I don't own any Zoya polishes but I may have to change that! I couldn't decide what shade I like more from your pics so great swatch! Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI think Isla would be my favourite too - absolutely gorgeous!
