Zoya, Fall 2012: Designer Collection, Swatches
August 29, 2012

Zoya’s Designer Collection, for Fall 2012, is a group of 6 autumn-minded colors with a smooth, cream finish. They all have good pigmentation; you’ll only need two coats for a fully opaque gleam.

Pictured above, Rekha is a bright, medium cherry red. She’s essentially the same color as Elisa (from the Diva Collection), but Rekha has no sparkle/shimmer whatsoever — just smooth, creamy and glossy.
“Zoya nail polish in Rekha can be best described as: Bold medium blood red with a glossy cream finish. A custom runway shade created for fashion designer Bibhu Mohapatra.” Zoya Website

Toni’s a vampy, berry little number. Perfect fall color. Very chic.
“Dark, warm raisin-wine cream with strong purple tones. A fashionable muted purple for a classic vampy nail look.” Zoya Website
.

Monica. Another glossy, vampy purple. Really lovely.
“Dark, soft blue-toned purple with a glossy cream finish. A bit of vibrant couture color, darkened for a bold, dramatic nail look.” Zoya Website

There’s just nothing I don’t love about Natty. Bold and demure, at once. Luff.
“Smoky deep steel blue with an opaque cream finish. A standout smoky blue for an unexpected but very wearable runway look.” Zoya Website

There are two greens in this collection, the lighter one being Evvie (pictured above.)
“Dark smoky grey cream with strong teal green undertones. A custom-mixed runway shade created for designer Peter Som.” Zoya Website
.
.

Noot.
“Very dark grey cream with strong blue-green undertones. Smoky, smoldering dark grey nails with a twist from the addition of green tones.” Zoya Website
.
Overall, I love the Designer Collection from Zoya. Faves: blue Natty, and the two vampy purples: Toni and Monica. Which ones do you like the looks of?
Gotta say, though — the colors, of this collection, on the website are pretty off. So be sure to google or bing swatches if you’re considering some new colors.
Have a colorful day, beauties!
