Zoya Reverie

When I first heard about Zoya's "metallic spring 2010" collection, Reverie, I was intrigued but it wasn't until I started to see swatches that I started jumping for joy.  Although Zoya calls these "metallics", I'm calling them all duochromes (!).


Official Press Release from Zoya
Laney - moonlit silver metallic
Adina - duochrome violet metallic
Reece - gilded rose metallic
Happi - pink blush metallic
Gwin - sunny melon metallic
Lana - rich red metallic


Zoya's ultra long-wearing, glossy nail lacquers are free of harmful industrial chemicals like toluene, camphor, formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) that are known to cause cancer and birth defects.  Zoya 2008 Awards - voted the longest lasting polish by Women's Health Magazine (beauty awards, US), named longest lasting nail polish by Lucky Magazine (green guide, US), named best nail polish by 9 AM with David & Kim (morning show beauty awards, AU) and voted best nail polish varnish by Lifescape Beauty Awards (UK).

I bought the whole collection online but haven't had a chance to take pretty pictures yet because THERE'S NO SUN.  What on earth is going on with this weather?! Grr.  I decide to make a blog, and I have no sun.  For weeks...


Well I did take some pictures myself but it's in no way showing off the amazing duochromes that each color shows.

Happi is a Barbie bubblegum pink with yellow orange shimmer.  Laney is a silver with a tiny bit of greenish purple shimmer.  Gwin is an orange with the same same yellow orange shimmer that Happi has.  Reece is a purple mauve with the same yellow orange shimmer as Gwin and Happi.  SURPRISE - Lana is a reddish orange with again, the same yellow orange as Reece, Gwin, and Happi.  Finally, Adina is a purple with the same green shimmer from Laney, but with loads more of it.  Adina looks like it could be a dupe of Ki, but I've seen a comparison before and they aren't dupes but I may have to blog about it later for you.
