I was able to try out the new Winter/Holiday 2013 nail polish collection from Zoya. The collection is obviously space-themed, as the official descriptions of these polishes have the words"galactic","astro", "celestial" words in them. Here are my swatches of the Zoya Zenith collection, and my thoughts on the colors.
Zoya Seraphina
I love the name Seraphina. It's described by Zoya as a full-coverage, polaris silver metallic. This reminds me a lot of my stepmom, as she loves frosty/metallic white or silver on her toenails because she says they look really clean and neat. I agree with her. I think my stepmom will like this because she loved and used Zoya Trixie when she was vacationing at our house. Trixie is a light silver with sparking metallic foil finish, so it's not really a dupe of Seraphina, but from the same family.
Zoya Mosheen over Seraphina
Zoya Mosheen is described as an "astro-ice blue topper". It's a white base with aqua bar and micro holo- giltter. This is more of a glitter topper as described. I love how it looks very wintry with the ice blue glitter.
Zoya Cassedy
Zoya Cassedy is my favorite out of this bunch. It's such a gorgeous, opaque, full-coverage pewter metallic. It's made up of micro-glitter so small they are not seen as individual pieces but as metallic silver shimmer. This also looks so pretty on the nails.
Zoya Payton
Zoya Peyton is described as a full-coverage galactic cranberry with scattered holographic glitter. This is pretty as well, and I really like how Zoya makes these kinds of scattered holo- very pretty and quite outer space-y indeed.
Zoya Belinda
Zoya Dream is my favorite after Cassedy in this bunch. It's such a gorgeous space blue holo! It's opaque in two coats, and I really like how it looks like a galaxy - little stars in a beautiful dark blue base.
All in all, I am liking this collection, mostly because of the holo glitter polishes and Cassedy. I am not really feeling Mosheen, although if you like bar glitter holo, you would probably like it too. Seraphina looks very nice, clean and chic on the nails, if you want a classic nail look.
Formula is pretty good - neither too thick nor too runny. The metallics were streaky on the first coat, but you can even things out on the 2nd coat.
The Zoya Zenith collection is available for $8 each on zoya.com.
