I had some trouble with the formulas of the Zoya Satins collection but they are pretty! Here I started with Zoya Brittany and added a swipe of Zoya Leah.
Thanks for reading!

Zoya Ana
Zoya Ana is part of the Naturel Satin Collection for 2015.
Zoya Ana is pretty almond color but the formula just stinks. I'm going to try adding quite a bit of thinner if I ever use Ana again. I really want to love this collection but they just aren't working out for me.

PROS
- All of the colors are drop dead gorgeous, unique and complement each very nicely. Seriously lovely color choices!
- Wear time seems very good for a polish meant to be worn without a topcoat, much better than most matte polishes.
- I love new ideas in polish and the Satin finish definitely appeals to me.
- The frosted bottles are beautiful.
- Dry time is good for a polish without topcoat
- So far the formula has been super frustrating for me. I feel like I've tried every application technique I can think of with no luck. They just don't self-level well and since they are meant to be worn without a topcoat that is a problem. You also can't go back over an area at all or you will get dragging. I just can't make them work!
- Some friends think the finish looks like paint for the interior walls of a house or just plain old acrylic paint. I don't think these will have broad appeal to ladies who aren't really into nail polish.

Zoya Satins Nail Art
Even though I had lots of trouble with the Zoya Satins collection I still adore the colors! Here is some simple nail art showcasing some of my favorites from the set. I started with a base of Zoya Ana, then added stripes in Zoya Tove, Brittany, and Sage.

Zoya Sage And A Comparison
Zoya Sage is part of the Naturel Satins Collection for 2015.
I've had LOTS of trouble with this collection but Sage applied so much better than the paler colors I've tried. Still a bit tricky but I made it work. Sage is a lovely greyed out green color and I do love the satin finish.

Zoya Sage is very similar to Zoya Bevin but the finish is different. Zoya Wednesday is much brighter.
You can keep up with what I'm reading on Goodreads!

Zoya Rowan
Zoya Rowan is part of the Naturel Satins Collection for 2015.
Zoya Rowan is a pale taupey mushroom color that is much lighter and less brown than the promo images. A truly gorgeous color but the formula just stinks. I'm going to try adding quite a bit of thinner if I ever use Rowan again. I really want to love this collection but they just aren't working out for me.

I am a voracious reader. You can check out what I'm reading on my Goodreads profile!This book was gross and hilarious, not something I thought I would enjoy but it's just imaginative to put down.

Zoya Brittany
Zoya Brittany is part of the Naturel Satins Collection for 2015.
Zoya Brittany is a pale taupey pink color that I found very flattering, but the formula just stinks. I'm going to try adding quite a bit of thinner if I ever use Brittany again. I really want to love this collection but they just aren't working out for me.

Zoya Leah

Zoya Satins - First Thoughts
I've tried 3 of the new Zoya Satin collection and wanted to let you know my thoughts so far before I get to my full reviews later.
PROS
I'm going to ask some friends to try them out and I still more to wear as full manicures. I'll eventually get to my regular individual posts with lots of pictures.
