Jem is a gorgeous dark shimmery purple/pink. Hard to describe! There is some gold shimmer in the bottle that comes out a little bit in the shade. This reminds me of Valerie that Zoya put out a little while ago. I haven't had time to compare the two yet but it's on my list! Great formula, I used 2 coats for full opacity.
Marina is a grey/blue/silver shimmer. I don't think I have any shades like this, it's very different. I'm on the fence about this one, I can't decide of I like it or not. I love the color maybe just not the shimmer. It kind of leans almost to the frosty side depending on how you look at it. I used 2 coats of Marina for the photos below.
Neeka is a dusty dark purple packed with gold glitter. I love this so much! The gold glitter in this is different looking, it's like little gold glitter flakes kind of. I really love it! Great formula on this one, 2 coats for full opacity!
Nimue is a silvery lilac, it has the same finish as Maria does. The formula was really great on this one, it went on a bit streaky but leveled itself out! I used 2 coats for the photos below.
Tao is a silvery grey shimmer, same kind of shimmer as Marina and Nimue. I think out of all 3 shimmers this one of my favorite, I really love the color! Great formula again, 2 coats for the fill opacity!
Yara is a gorgeous olive green with that great gold glitter we saw in Neeka. This color is fabulous, easily my favorite of the entire collection! Green and glitter is a winning combination in my opinion! I need Zoya to make this in every shade of green possible please! Great formula, I used 2 coats for the photos below!
The Smoke & Mirrors Collection is available now on Zoya.com, each polish retails for $8
Yum! Neeka and Yara are calling my name <3
ReplyDeleteI like this set mucho better. Looks lovely on you.....all of them!
ReplyDeleteNice swatches! I want most of these.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love Neeka and Yara. I got Valerie for the promo instead of Jem, but if I hadn't I would be drooling over her too.
ReplyDeleteI loving! :D kiss
ReplyDeleteXoXo
Neeka and Yara are so gorgeous!!! And your swatches are very very very pretty.
ReplyDeleteYara and Neeka are so beautiful and unique! I'm so glad I have them coming to me in the mail as we speak!
ReplyDeleteI received an email 8/5 from Zoya.com that provided a unique coupon code for 2 free polishes with any purchase (except color spoons). Great timing! Got 2 more from this collection. Aaah, love freebies :)So, if you have an email from Zoya, read it!!
ReplyDeleteOh no, I'm regretting not getting Jem now as well! I have Neeka & Yara already and they are simply amazing, although darker than I was expecting.
ReplyDeleteOk, until YOUR photos, I thought I could live without these...now I gotta have them!
ReplyDeleteGreat swatches. I adore Zoya. Mirrors is in my shopping cart now and 4 shades from Smoke that I need to get sent to take advantage of my 2 free polishes before that offer goes off.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I ordered Gem and Marina off Zoya with their latest great offer, still waiting for them in the mail. But I'm regretting not trading Marina for Yara though...ah!
ReplyDeleteI got Yara and Neeka on their way to me!! I'm so excited! I was kinda on the fence about Nimue and Marina, I think I might have to pass....not a fan of frosty! Might have to wait to see if my Ulta chooses to carry this collection and see it for myself.
ReplyDeleteInteresting why them call `Mirorrs`?
ReplyDeleteIsn't Marina similar to Essie Fair Game?
ReplyDeletewould love to see neeka compared to bb couture michael, are they similar or still different?
ReplyDelete@Crystal
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how the compare, I don't own that BB Couture :(
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteI think it might be lighter blue, I'll put it on my list to compare!
@Elizabeth

@~Elizabeth aka Lacquered Lizard
ReplyDeleteahh I'm such an enabler! They are so pretty though!
@beachgal
ReplyDeleteThanks! Good timing with the promo!
@Lucy
ReplyDeletebummer about Yara, I'm sure Zoya will have another great promo soon, you'll have to get it then!
@Angie
ReplyDeletewoohoo for Yara and Neeka. I think Ulta will be getting this collection, Nimue and Marina are worth seeing in person!
@Una
ReplyDeletegood question! I think because all of the shades are glittery or metallic!
@~Elizabeth aka Lacquered Lizard Yeah I felt the same way!! ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures not to mention great colors, I love how Zoya can make these pretty collections time after time :D
