Zoya Ornate Collection

There are six polishes in the Holiday 2012 offering from Zoya, the Ornate Collection, and I was fortunate to be able to swatch them all.



At first I thought Ziv was just another gold foil, but upon closer inspection, I saw it has some very warm gold flakes in it that gives it a finish that sets it apart. I just wish I liked it better against my skintone.





Logan is a deep green with warm golden green mini-flakies shimmer. I thought this one was gorgeous.





Electra is the party polish in the group, a silver holographic bar glitter. According to the Zoya webiste, this also has "micro fine diamond holographic glitter", but the bar glitter dominates to the point where I didn't really notice any micro glitter. I layered it over Logan on most fingers and used it alone as an accent nail. (This is the only swatch in today's post where I used topcoat.)





The last three polishes in the collection are variations on the theme of holographic micro glitter. Aurora has a warm purple base color.





Aurora looks great in low light:



It also looks good blurry:



Blaze has a deep berry red base.





Storm has a black base.





Check out Storm in low light—so pretty:



All of these swatches are two coats, no topcoat, with the exception of Electra; in that case, I used three coats plus topcoat. My favorites are Storm, Aurora, and Electra Logan. Blaze is pretty; I just didn't see as many colors sparking off it as I did from its two close siblings. Ziv we've talked about; gold is not my favorite metal. Electra is certainly fun, but it's a little "hairy" for my taste; maybe if I used fewer coats or put it over a silver base it might be better for me.
