They all look duochromey/iridescent. Adina is by far the best, with a rich purple base and strong green/teal duochrome. Not a dupe of Ki, but similar feel to it. Best color I've seen in a while. Closest thing it comes to is Nubar Peacock Feathers, but it's not a dupe of that either. Very rich color.
Here's a couple quick shots of the swatches- hopefully I'll have the real thing to swatch soon! I know, they're blurry and glare-y, but I had like two seconds to take the pictures, sorry :(

Indoor ambient light, really shows the nice duochrome on Adina and accurate representation of the colors of the rest. Click to enlarge.
Closeup of Adina.They all look pretty in person, but I'm most excited about Adina. It's awesome.
I love the complexity of Zoya colours. Many brands have shimmer or duochrome but when Zoya formulates them, they have a very sophisticated effect.
ReplyDeleteI can always identify a Zoya polish because of that.
I wait with bated breath for your swatches.
Question:
ReplyDelete1. If I put a shiny top coat on the matte velvet, will it dry shiny or will the color still be matte? Do I even need a topcoat for a matte?
2. If I put a matte top coat on a shiny polish, will it turn the shiny polish matte?
