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!
