Zoya Focus, Fall 2015

Good evening lovely readers!  I'm churning swatches out right now so I thought I'd go ahead and share another post for you to check out.  Zoya released their Fall collection not so long ago and I've already shared the shimmery, pretty Flair collection (see it HERE).  Tonight I have the lux and creamy Focus collection!  Zoya really knows how to make fabulous cremes that are buttery and opaque and always flawless.  Focus is full of great colors and that great formula that I've come to expect and adore.  You can get the polishes from the Focus collection now for $9 USD each.  I'd say to go ahead and make a list of Zoya's you've been meaning to because I bet they'll have a good Black Friday Sale!  Let's delve in and see what Zoya came up with for the season!

Press Release: Zoya Focus & Flair, Fall 2015

From Runway to Real Life! ZOYA FOCUS & FLAIR
Two exciting new Zoya Nail Polish collections arrive for FALL 2015

FOCUS (creams)

The Zoya Focus Collection features six strong, solid shades that anchor a look for fall as stand-alone shades. The densely pigmented cream formula features a unique, micro-grind pigment that allows for extra-smooth, streak-free application.

·          Charli (ZP807) - a dusty taupe cream with a hint of green, a perfect neutral.

·          Desiree (ZP806) - a classic sable brown cream that has just enough gray to keep it cool in tone.

·          Hannah (ZP805) – a clear, classic red cream with a balanced (neutral) undertone.

·          Janel (ZP804) - a deep red cream with a rich warm undertone.

·          Lidia (ZP803) - a rich eggplant cream with a blackened purple base and just a hint of red resulting in a color that is wearable for most skin tones.

·         Sia (ZP802) - a true, royal blue cream. NOTE: This is a highly pigmented shade - make sure to apply a base coat to prevent staining.

FLAIR (metallics)

Six, jewel toned liquid metal shades. The unique, micro-grind metallic pigment of the Zoya Flair Collection is fully blended into a vibrant base, creating the effect of brilliant colored melted metal!

·          Tris (ZP813) - a blackened, brushed nickel liquid metal.

·          Cinnamon (ZP812) - a classic bronze liquid metal, originally designed for Zang Toi NYFW F/W15.

·          Aggie (ZP811) - a gold holo-flip, liquid metal with bronze micro glitter. Sheer enough for layering with one coat or fully opaque in three coats!

·          Ember (ZP810) - a deep, fiery red liquid metal with enough blue to be wearable for all skin tones.

·          Giada (ZP809) - a purple liquid metal with a hint of fuchsia pearl.

·         Estelle (ZP808) - a blue on blue liquid metal with a blackened base.

piCture pOlish SPAM!

Good afternoon!  I wanted to try out my piCture pOlish that I hadn't given love to and found it really funny that 5 out of 6 were reds (well and a pink).  I have 1 blue (Paradise) but thought it would look funny in this post.  So I guess it turned into a "pick your Valentine shade" post!  I found all of these colors amazing and gorgeous and perfect both in formula and application.  So let's take a look at all these lovely piCture pOlish shades of LOVE.  

piCture pOlish:  Shop, Overall Beauty, Llarowe, Harlow & Co, Sally's Magpies, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter

Up first is O'Hara.  HELLO gorgeous, bright and classy red!  I really loved O'Hara.  It actually might be my favorite of the post.  O'Hara is described as a "bright red crelly (creme/jelly) holographic (scattered) and has NO glitter."  I was absolutely smitten with the glowy holo shimmer against the red base - perfection!  I used 2 coats and no topcoat. 

Up next in the list is Dorothy.  Another fabulous red.  Dorothy is a beautiful strawberry-red with super sparkly silver micro flakies.  The amount of sparkle on Dorothy absolutely captures it's inspiration of those famous blingy red shoes.  I used 2 coats and 1 layer of topcoat.  

Moving along to a pink - Tease.  Tease, which I can't find on the pIcture pOlish website now might very well be a discontinued color?  Don't quote me on that.   Here we have a pink-berry shade with loads of silvery micro flakies.  This color and the flakies work so perfectly together.  I think if Marilyn Monroe in her sexy hot pink dress when I look at this color.  I used 2 coats of Tease and 1 layer of topcoat.  

Focus is a gorgeous "red/violet saturn creme with a stunning mix of silver/blue micro sparks."  This color is so rich.  The berry hue of Focus is very flattering and the "micro sparks" are very delicate so as to not overwhelm the base color.  I used 2 coats of Focus and no topcoat.  Though next time I would use topcoat because you can see the "micro sparks" have a but of a gritty look in my close up.  

Last but not least...my first pIcture pOlish and still my favorite.  Monroe.  The original jelly, vampy, holo shimmer Monroe.  The new version is the same color base - that blood red shade, but the new version is packed with holographic pigments.  Both versions are lovely, but the original just has that sexy boudoir vibe that I love.  Monroe is jelly perfection.  I used 3 coats of Monroe and no topcoat.  Look at that squishy, shiny, seductive polish!
