Zoya’s Diva collection

I don’t know that I agree with Zoya’s assertion that Elisa, Ray, Song, and Suri are “metallic micro glitters”. I see a little bit of that in Song, but Suri, Ray, and Elisa look like near-metallic finishes to me. (Gorgeous colors…I just don’t know that I agree with Zoya’s descriptions.) FeiFei and Daul are amazing! Many people wondered how Daul would compare to Faye…Faye is a brighter candy-ish purple with gold, while Daul’s purple is more of a medium violet. They’re similar, but not exact. And they’re different enough that you might be drawn to both, or only one but not the other.

I like the finishes on these metallic polishes because they're not true-metallics, which can sometimes look a little garish or (shudder) can show dings or brushstrokes like nobody's business. These are more like harder-edged high-shine cremes, with a bit of reflectivity but not as much of a "metallic" finish as Jingle Bells, Little Drummer Boy, or anything from the Khrome collection.

This collection contained:

  • Daul — violet and gold sparkle
  • Elisa — metallic medium crimson shimmer
  • FeiFei — medium navy and gold sparkle
  • Ray — metallic medium-dark evergreen shimmer
  • Song — metallic medium navy shimmer
  • Suri — metallic medium violet shimmer
