Zoya Wonderful Part I: Shawn, Cola & Kristi

Zoya offers 6 creme shades in their Fall 2010 Wonderful Collection which are available now on their web site. All three of the shades I'm showing you covered very nicely using 2 coats. Photos were all taken indoors using an Ott lamp.

Below: First up is Shawn, a solid olive green shade as a general description, or a myrtle green as described by Zoya. This applied a little darker on the nail than it appears in the bottle, but I'm not complaining. It's still green!

Below: Cola is a rich russet or chestnut brown shade that appears to have fewer red undertones in darker lighting.
Below: Kristi, a gorgeous red described as a crimson shade by Zoya, gets added to my list of perfect red cremes.
I love Shawn and Kristi, but I don't think Cola gets along with my skin tone as well as I would have liked it to. The application on all of these was nothing short of excellent. They're very opaque, and even though I had a few spots after the first coat that were fairly sparse, the second coat perfected them. These also have an extremely high gloss finish.

    Shawn is such a beautiful shade of green. I definitely am buying this. I'm not sure about the rest of the cremes.

    I like Shawn, but it looks alot like SpaRitual Yes I Can. I still like all the other colors in this group, like Kelly.

    Zara~it sounds like you like them all! I did too, but Im going to revisit Cola another time and see if I like it any better against my skin tone.

    BlushingNoir~it is a unique green. I just love greens anyway, so I totally agree with you :)

    Anonymous~it's lovely, yes! I know what you mean...I see so many pretty polishes that we don't have in our country too. But I enjoy looking at them, even though I can't get them.

    Lucy~never a fan of cremes on me becaue I lack application skills. But any green is a must for me :)

    Aurora's Nails~Shawn seems to be the most popular, doesn't it!

    Starlight~I'm not familiar with that SpaRitual shade, I'll check it out. Kelly is very nice too. Shawn and Kelly are probably my favorites.
