Zoya Emery

Press Sample
Today's polish is special to me because it's my name! Okay, so it's my married last name, but still. I'm surprised how many people think it's my first name. Today I have Zoya Emery, from the Fall 2025 Muse collection. This is a "velvet metallic spun from black espresso and antique gold." I feel that it's a bit more violet based brown but spot on with the gold. Let's get into it.
