Zoya Flair collection or Fall 2015 Swatches and Review

Hey guys! How excited am I about today's post!! If you follow me elsewhere you've already seen me going on and on about one of the polishes in this collection, Aggie! Yesssss there's a polish named Aggie! No, this isn't named after me (well....that I know of haha) BUT I'm totally claiming it since I don't have my own blogger collab polish like all the cool kids ;) Let's get right into them! If you missed my first post on the crème half of Zoya's fall polishes you can see it here. Historically Zoya divides their fall collection into 2 parts, one half crèmes and one half shimmers or metallic or some such. This is the second half!
Flair 2015
 


First up is Ember...is an orangy red shimmer. Despite being slightly orange this one really glows! It feels like liquid magma on your nails. (mag-mah....snickers) This is 2 coats plus topcoat,  I was impressed with the opacity!

Ember

Tris is a dark gunmental gray shimmer. This one is much thinner in formula, it would require 3 thin coats but I went heavy on the second coat and it worked out. This might look cool with one coat over black! This is not a color I would wear every day but that's ok!

Tris

Giada is a deep eggplant purple shimmer. This is 2 coats, and I had to work quickly on the first because it started pulling a little, so I wouldn't go over with too many brushstrokes. Totally glows also!

Giada

Cinnamon is a bronze shimmer, " originally designed for Zang Toi NYFW Fall/Winter 2015" according the Zoya website. This is not one I though I would like but I love! I don't think I have anything like this in my collection. I've seen a few other companies coming out with this shade in their fall collections so its gonna be a hot color! And I'm still having a gold moment so when we get a little farther in to fall I will definitely be wearing this on some short nails!

Cinnamon

Estelle is a gorgeous blue shimmer with a slight pink duochrome that you can see in person in the bottle but I didn't see on the nail. The first coat was a little tricky but it was alllll good in 2 coats. Some may be wondering how similar this is to Zoya Song, to me in the bottle its more of a shimmery crème and Song is a little more glittery.

Estelle

Andddddddddddddddddd Zoya Aggie! I mean, I just keep giggling over this. I will be having a spotlight post coming on this very soon so I can rant some more over it. This is a little more sheer and I thought I would need 3 coats but 2 was ok.

Here's the description from the Zoya website: "Aggie by Zoya can be best described as a gold holo flip liquid metal with bronze micro glitter. Sheer enough for layering with 1 coat or fully opaque in 3 coats!"

Like I said I only needed 2. There is definitely a blue/green holo shift to this, its way more evident in the bottle. I will definitely be purchasing another bottle so I can have one to display in my office! YIPEE! ZOYA AGGIE! WHOOP!


Aggie

Overall my picks from this collection are AGGIE (lol), Estelle, Cinnamon and Ember (yep!) This collection is available on Zoya.com now, I'm not sure when it will be in stores! Stay tuned for my spotlight post on Aggie! :)
