Zoya Wishes Collection Swatches and Review

Hello Lovelies! I'm super late in reviewing the Zoya Wishes collection for Winter 2014, but at least it is still Winter and that has to count for something, right? Hopefully you will forgive me because I'm really excited to show you this beautiful collection. It consists of three textured PixieDust shades and three cream/shimmer shades in coordinating colors...


A quick word about the PixieDust shades before I get to the photos so I don't repeat myself too much. They can be a bit tricky to apply. I found it best to start out with a thin first coat and allow that to dry for a couple of minutes before adding the second coat for full coverage. Although they are dry to the touch in about 15 minutes, I gave each of them at least an hour of dry time for photos to ensure they reach their final textured effect. The large hex glitter in them does stand out (texture wise), but other than that they didn't seem crazy textured to me. All the swatches are with no top coat.

By the way, as you may have heard, Zoya is phasing out the PixieDust shades and will not be making more once they sell out. If your are a fan of textured polish, make sure to snag them while they are still available.

Nori
A sapphire blue with texture with holographic micro and hex glitter. The color is just gorgeous and the holo glitter catches the sun beautifully. I was afraid this would stain the nails, but I'm happy to report that it didn't!

Prim
A periwinkle blue shimmer. This has a nice easy to apply formula, although it does leave behind some visible brush strokes. I'm not usually a fan of this type of finish, but the color is so gorgeous that this ended up being one of my favorites from the collection. Two coats as seen here provides full coverage. No topcoat in these swatches...

Haven
An amethyst purple with a strong shimmer. I can't quite describe this lacquer as it seems short of hazy on the surface yet with a gorgeous deep shimmer glow from within. It has a great formula and provides full coverage in two easy coats. It is very glossy on it's own so swatches are with no top coat. A definite favorite for me from this set...

Willa
A black cream with a touch of a jelly finish. It starts out sheer, but does build up to full coverage at two coats. I found it to be very glossy on it's own which I attribute to this slight hint of jelly in the formula. The cleanup also was not as staining as some blacks can be. My light-box really diffused the light here making it look satiny, but it is indeed very glossy. Swatches here are with no topcoat...
