Zoya Matte Velvet Re-Release

*Press Sample*

Hey y'all!  I've been a fan of Zoya since early in my blogging days.  I've always somehow missed out on their original mattes.  So, when I saw they were doing the re-release I was SUPER excited. If you don't have these, I'm telling you now that you NEED them.  

These applied amazingly & super easy.  I'm sure you could get away with 1 coat on these, but I went with 2.  The drying time on these was only slightly longer than most matte polishes.  I also didn't use top coat, BUT I did notice that when I applied cuticle oil before removal that they looked pretty "wet" so to speak.  So I'm not sure if a top coat would make them look any different than the cuticle oil did, but I took pictures with the oil on too.




Dovima - Can be best described as a smoky charcoal-black with strong silver shimmer and a velvety matte finish.  The shimmer in this gives it a little something extra.  It's not just a flat shade.  It's not black, but more of that charcoal hue. 





Harlow - Can be best described as a rich, saturated rose plum packed with sparkling metallic shimmer in a velvety matte finish.  The shimmer gives this a little something extra as well.  I like how Zoya says it's a rose plum & my notes I just simply wrote "purply pink".  It's so pretty!





Loredana - Can be best described as a medium gunmetal grey, packed with a silvery shimmer and a velvety matte finish.  It might look close to Dovima, BUT there is a difference.  There's a TON more shimmer in this to help it look more gunmetal grey than charcoal black. 





Posh - Can be best described as a medium cool-toned wine red with metallic red shimmer and a velvety matte finish.  This is such a pretty red, that almost has a berry look when it's "wet". 





Savita- Can be best described as a bold, vibrant medium purple with strong red and gold shimmer with a velvety matte finish.  The shimmer on this looks more pink to me, but it's still gorgeous.  Savita looks totally different "wet" than it does matte and I love it.





Veruschka - Can be best described as a deep evergreen garnished with strong metallic shimmer in a velvety matte finish.  When I put this on my nails I instantly fell in love.  Then when I put the cuticle oil over it....OMG I was in heaven.  When matte, the shimmer looks kinda silver...but when wet, it's all festively green. 

I highly suggest getting all of these while you can, but if you only have the chance to get a few I definitely suggest Veruschka, Posh, and Savita.

These retail for $9 each or $54 for the entire set.  You can find these as well as the new matte top coat & lipstick HERE

What are your favorites?
