The holiday is upon us!  Once again, Zoya comes up with twelve shades that are just apt for the season.  Here are my thoughts and swatches of the Zoya Holiday 2020 Intriguing Collection.

Zoya Isti is this season's Pixie Dust color.  This is Zoya's signature glittery texturized formula.  I have to say I LOVE this new and reformulated Pixie Dust compared to the past formulas.  It is not as textured which I really love, and my makeup does not transfer my nails unlike the past Pixie Dust formula.  This is a beautiful wintery blue shade.

Zoya Avi is described as a smoky-greige cream with a hint of red-brown.  It is a dusty red-based purple under direct sunlight and I love the formula - super smooth and self-levels effortlessly.

Zoya Lottie

Zoya Lottie is described as a soft champagne pearl with glistening shimmer.  Reminds me of freshly fallen glistening snow.  Super pretty and clean.

Zoya Beverly is described as a dark purple-toned red cream.  This is more of an oxblood color to me.  Love this shade- quite unusual.

Zoya Soko is gorgeous - it is a brilliant fire engine red that leans warm.  It is described as a poinsettia red cream.  Very festive and perfect for the holidays.

Zoya Meredith is hands-down my favorite in the collection.  Absolutely beautiful, breathtaking midnight sapphire blue that reminds me of the dark winter sky.  This is one of the best shimmery blues I own, which says a lot, because I own a ton.

Zoya Nico is a celadon pearl with silver shimmer.  I am not a fan of these colors, but I have to admit that this looks pretty on my skintone and looks refreshing and clean.

Zoya Eunice is another pleasant surprise - wasn't too excited about this color, but upon wearing it, I was surprised to see that it flattered my skintone.  It is described as a chartreuse metallic green

Zoya Nisha is another winner along with Zoya Meredith.  Zoya Nisha is described as royal-blue violet metallic.  This is very deep and shimmery and gorgeous on the nails.

Zoya Koley is described as a ruby-pink metallic.  I am not a fan of reds in these kinds of finishes.  Looking at the swatches, though, I'd have to say it is quite gorgeous.

My favorites from this collection is Meredith, followed by Nisha and Regina.  The creams behave very nicely and are not finicky at all.  

The Zoya Holiday 2020 Intriguing collection is now up on Zoya.com and retails for $10 a pop.
