Zoya: Winter/Holiday 2014 Wishes Collection Swatches & Review

Happy lazy Sunday!  Today I have Zoya’s Holiday and Winter collection to show you!

“Prim” is a wintery shade of blue with a lovely dustiness to it in a metallic finish.  The shade of blue is just beautiful, it almost has a periwinkle tone to it. There is slightly noticeable brush strokes like some metallics can have but not bad.  I did 2 coats but it’s a definite one-coater.

“Haven” is a moody metallic purple with strong bright purple shimmer.  This is absolutely gorgeous.  The moody base mixed with the shining shimmer is so striking.  2 coats but could be a one-coater.

“Willa” is a pure black creme.  It’s got a teeny tiny duskiness to it, compared to other black cremes but still deep and dark.  Great formula.  2 coats.

“Nori” has holographic silver glitter and shimmer in a sapphire blue jelly base.  This is a PixieDust which implies to me that they should be matte and/or textured, it was not.  I waited for quite a while and it never dried even a little matte.  Even here, it kinda looks like I used top coat but alas, I didn’t.  I did 2 coats.

“Thea” is a medium purple jelly with holographic silver glitter and shimmer.  Same situation here, as with “Nori”.  It didn’t ever dry down matte or textured.  Gorgeous nonetheless.  I did 2 coats.

“Imogen” has silver glitter in a black jelly base.  This dried the most matte out of the 3 PixieDusts here but it still wasn’t completely matte, more satin or as Kellie Gonzo has described some of the PixieDusts before, “gummy”.  Again, still pretty.  I did 2 coats without top coat first.

Although I do like these, the PixieDusts were a let down for me.  I really miss the truly matte and textured ones from previous collections.  I hope in 2015, Zoya will go back to that.
