Good evening! I'm very happy to share this post with you because I think the Zoya MatteVelvet Collection consists of the sexiest polishes ever! The colors are fantastic, the formula is perfect and the finish is amazing. I am personally very excited that Zoya re-released this collection because I spent a good amount of time last year scouring through beauty supply stores looking for them (I'm sure many others did the same). I have each polish from this collection shown in their regular matte finish and then with topcoat - they are all stunning both ways. The MatteVelvet Collection is currently available for purchase and each bottle is $9 USD. There is also a MatteVelvet Top Coat for $10 and a MatteVelvet red lipstick for $12. Buy all the MatteVelvet things!
*PRESS SAMPLE*
Dovima is a "smokey charcoal-black with strong silver shimmer and a velvety MATTEVELVET finish." It's a wearable black that anyone can rock! The silver shimmer is lovely. I reached full opacity and perfect coverage in 2 coats of Dovima.

Loredana is a "medium gunmetal grey, packed with silvery shimmer and a velvety MATTEVELVET finish." It looks like brushed metal and it's so cool! Loredana had an awesome formula and applied perfectly. I used 2 coats of Loredana for full coverage.

Posh is hands down my favorite of the 6-piece collection. It's a gorgeous "medium cool-toned wine red with metallic red shimmer and a velvety MATTEVELVET finish." Posh is such a luxurious color and definitely makes me feel sexy when I have it on. I used 2 coats of Posh for full coverage. Formula and application were both perfect.

Verushka is my second favorite in the collection. Verushka is a "deep evergreen garnished with strong metallic shimmer in a velvety MATTEVELVET finish." This screams Christmas to me. Much like the previous shades, the formula and application are both wonderful. No issues to report. I used 2 coats of Verushka for perfect coverage.

Savita is a "bold, vibrant medium purple with strong red and gold shimmer with a velvet MATTEVELVET finish." Such a pretty purple. And the way that red shimmer shines through the base? WOW! Savita had a perfect formula and applied like a dream. I used 2 coats of Savita to reach full opacity.

I saved Harlow for last because it was on my wish list for so long, I still can't believe that I own it. Harlow is a "rich, saturated rose plum packed with sparkling metallic shimmer in a velvety MATTEVELVET finish." The shimmer in Harlow seems to be in larger pieces, or possibly a higher quantity of shimmer? But it totally works for this shade. It's truly gorgeous and feminine and sexy at the same time. Formula and application were both fabulous. I used 2 coats of Harlow for full coverage.
