Zoya Leah

Nothing To Disclose

 Getting to the mid way point in the Naturel Satin collection with Leah, a "lavender tinged taupe". I was originally most excited about this because I do love all things purple/lavender.

 I used a base coat of Zoya Anchor, 2 coats of polish and no top coat. The formula on this polish was much better than Ana and Brittany. Dry time was fast even without a top coat.
Okay, now I know what you're thinking. What IS this. This doesn't look lavender at all in the sun. If anything it looks blueish silver. I don't know why - I seriously had to check my photos again to make sure I used the right ones in editing but I did!
Even in the shade, I'm scratching my head. This isn't what I expected but I do like the dusty look that it has.
Finally in the indirect light I got some purple coming through and I was pleased. This really is up my alley for colors.
This photo was in my light box. Purple? Check. Happy Satin finish? Check. Happy Krystal? Partially checked. I'm definitely having a love/hate feeling with this collection. It's unique, the formulas are pretty decent but me and nudes - just not loving it totally!

    I think I'm pretty much a pass on this whole collection - thankfully for my wallet!

    I'm also passing on this collection. The finish/texture isn't to my liking, but I know Zoya will have something else I'm be wanting very soon

    To me, it looks for like a cool taupey gray, and less like a lavender. It looks really pretty on you, and your swatches (as always) are gorgeous.

    It's a pretty shade, but not what I would have expected from the description.

    I'm glad that I can help in that aspect! It's hard to know what to buy when you look at bottles, which is why I love reading blogs!

    From what I see, the spring collection looks pretty awesome. It goes on sale either this week or it just went on sale... I've been hiding my credit card this month because of Valentine's Day!

    No joke, right? I wonder if that was the original intent - this happened, and they just went "Eh, close enough" lol.

    I agree, Krystal, the spring collection does look beautiful. Much more appealing to me!
