Zoya Calm Spring 2020 Collection

(Press samples ahead!) Hello! Spring is almost here...I know for most people that's an exciting, happy thing, and I get it--I'm looking forward to planting my new garden, fresh berries, and spending more time in the sun. However, I have to admit--I prefer cool weather and rainy days. I know, I know--I'd feel differently if I had to deal with snow like most of the country! But while I'm enjoying the sneak-peeks of sun, I'll also be looking forward to a few more cozy read-by-the-fire kind of days. Either way, Zoya's Calm collection has some beautiful spring colors--pastels with a hint of smoke, which is how I like my spring palate. Let's take a look... Zoya AJ Zoya AJ Zoya AJ Zoya AJ Zoya AJ Zoya AJ Coverage: 2 coats Formula & application: Smooth and perfect Description: Zoya AJ is a medium beige neutral with peachy-copper shimmer. This is my favorite type of neutral--understated, but with just a dash of something extra to make me feel special. Zoya Colleen Zoya Colleen Zoya Colleen Zoya Colleen Zoya Colleen Zoya Colleen Coverage: 2 coats Formula & application: Some patchiness on the first coat that evened out with the second coat. Description: Zoya Colleen is a light beige-peach neutral creme in an almost universally flattering shade with a soft sophistication. Feminine without being overly sweet. Zoya Emerson Zoya Emerson Zoya Emerson Zoya Emerson Zoya Emerson Zoya Emerson Coverage: 1 coat Formula & application: Excellent, with amazing coverage Description: Zoya Emerson is a light almost-periwinkle smoked blue creme that makes me think of a bright spring sky. Fresh and soft, but in a mature way. Zoya Laura Zoya Laura Zoya Laura Zoya Laura Zoya Laura Zoya Laura Coverage: 2 coats Formula & application: Excellent Description: Zoya Laura is a medium beige neutral, soft and creamy, with a posh, sophisticated feel. Great on its own, or as a base for nail art. Zoya Leif Zoya Leif Zoya Leif Zoya Leif Zoya Leif Zoya Leif Zoya Leif Coverage: 1 coat Formula & application: Excellent Description: Zoya Leif, my favorite of the collection, is a light sage cream that makes me think of new shoots popping out of the earth, and creamy guacamole. Darn it, now I want a burrito. Zoya Vee Zoya Vee Zoya Vee Zoya Vee Zoya Vee Zoya Vee Coverage: 1 coat Formula & application: Excellent Description: Zoya Vee is a smoked plum, and another of my favorites from the collection. It has an understated feel while still being pretty, like an African violet or an earthy orchid. Subtle but rich at the same time. So what do I think overall? This is an excellent set of colors to get you through spring. I continue to love Zoya's one-coat cremes, although the lighter ones in this collection did take two coats to cover my ridges. All are pretty, but the ones that really make my heart flutter are AJ, Leif, and Vee. :) All are on sale now on Zoya's website, or anywhere else that stocks Zoya. AND, now through Feb 17th at 11pm EST, you'll get a FREE Big Flipper bottle of polish remover with any purchase, and free shipping if you spend over $30, if you use code LOVE20. So go!
