Zoya’s Suede collection

• Contains: 6 nail colors
• Cost/Amount: USD$36.00
• Would you purchase again: yes

Six colors, a mixture of finishes, all neutral-ish colors...except for Ki. I'm not entirely sure why Zoya put these colors together this way, with this name - Ki doesn't entirely seem to fit with the others. I love the three colors I own from this collection, but don't really feel the need to get the other three. This collection contained:

• Avril — neutral pink creme
• Brizia — mauve-taupe pearl
• Charlize — warm beige creme
• Dea — milk-chocolate-brown creme
• Ki — metallic violet-green-copper duochrome shimmer
• Pasha — beige-taupe pearl
