Zoya Flourish

I'm really late to the party, but one of the polishes got stuck in a transit.

Pic of my least favorite in this collection, Kalista

Yes, that's true - my least favorite. This is an awesome brown with lots of gold in it; very warm and wearable. For some reason word "chestnut" comes to my mind every time I look at this polish.

But both Richelle and Zara are so much cooler!

Zara. So far, this is the one and only lilac that works with my fair yet warm skin. Usually me + lilac = The Corpse Bride.

Zara has so much multicolored gold in it that one can almost call it a duochrome. See for yourself:





Shimmer is really multicolored: in addition to gold, it has some green, purple and ...? /dunno/ in it.

Richelle. My Momma's FAIL. Epic FAIL, I'd say. (don't you think this blog quickly deteriorates into a therapist's couch substitute?) Anyway, "gold" in my Mom's book means an epitome of vulgar, especially in a form of a nail polish.

Nuh-uh. Blingy - yes. Vulgar - no.

As the rest of Flourish collection, this color is very warm. Gold is not monochromatic, but very complex. It consists of some copper, some green, some purple and...? /dunno/. Basically, Richelle = Zara - Lilac. I'm a very casual kind of girl, yet I think Richelle would look awesome paired with just blue jeans and a sweater, no fancy dress necessary.





Unlike many others nail polish fanatics, I've skipped all the reds from this collection and got just three colors: Kalista, Richelle and Zara. I already have a gazillion of shimmery reds; but if you are into them, please take a look at the great swatches here, there or there.

PS: From the swatches I've seen, Shivon seems to be a dupe of China Glaze Awakening.
