Zoya Exchange – Part III
And here we have Part III of my Zoya exchange haul! Sorry the descriptions are so short, I am not feeling good today and just have zero imagination right now.
Kotori is a really cool glittery blue. It’s a navy blue and the glitter is really fine and light blue. It is pretty sheer so I needed three coats and could have even used four. But that’s fine with me because it’s not like anything else I own.
Pasha didn’t look so hot on me. I think it blends too much with my skin or something and washes me out, but would look great on darker skin tones. It’s a taupe colored polish with silver shimmer. I believe I used three coats here.
Pru is a great color but very hard to describe. It’s like a reddish/pinkish/brown base with fine gold glitter in it. This was three coats.
Raine is a very sheer opalescent pink that flashes gold. You can see how sheer it is because my nail line is very visible still and this is three coats. This would be a good layering color I think.
Rea is a grape metallic with glitter, if that’s even possible. It has a silvery shimmer to it and looks a lot better in person than this pic shows. This was three coats.

Feel better!
Hi Legra,
Thanks!
Awesome swatches, Kelly! I hope you feel better soon, and definitely before you leave for London. I loved it when I was there, and I hope you enjoy it!
Hmmm… Looking at your Rea is a little strange. I totally described mine as foil. Very metallic, foil. Did you really find it more glittery than foily?
I think Pasha isn’t as bad on you as you think.
Hi Kelly,
I hope you feel better. Try to take it easy.
I like the blue! I am really accumulating quite a list of Zoya “must haves”.
Thank you!!
Wow, those colors are sooo pretty! Happy to say I own two of them, and I really need Pasha, I love it! I’m a bit hesitant when it comes to pinks, but Raine is one of those colors who really make me want to be more girly.
Oh wow. I really want Kotori and Pru. Kotori is so different from any blue I have.
