Zoya Intimate: Dove, Gemma & Marley
Zoya's Intimate Collection is probably my favorite Spring 2011 collection because of its assortment of subtle shades that for the most part, aren't the typical shades associated with a Spring color palette. It's also a collection with 3 different finishes, so that appeals to me. I mentioned in my post showing the other three shades that this collection is subtle, trendy, and a little edgy. These shades are not strictly seasonal shades, so I appreciate that versatility.Below: Dove is a pale grey creme that doesn't seem to have any cast of another color mixed in. Described as a soft, delicate light neutral gray, this shade applied well using three coats. Two coats didn't quite do it for me, so I went with a third.
Below: Gemma definitely gives this collection a kick of color, and the subtle iridescent violet and blue shimmer takes this lighter olive shade from drab to fab. This shade applied exceptionally well and I used two coats.
Below: Marley is a lovely lighter shade of lavender with hidden shimmer. I have a lot of lavender shades that are pink-based, but this one is grey-based--which personally, I like better. This looks more like a creme finish, but the shimmer adds a very delicate pearly finish in brighter lighting. I used three coats to get opaque coverage.
Did you pick up any of the shades from the Intimate Collection? Do you have a favorite Spring polish collection this year?*Products featured were furnished by the manufacturer or PR firm for review.
A lot of the Spring Collections have similar toned-down shades but maybe one or two that stands out. For me, it's Danii and Gemma from Zoya. They look so creamy!

ReplyDeleteI hate Zoya because of their Customer Service, Only if there is a sale would I purchase from them. Dove looks lovely though.
