Zoya Wonderful Collection for Fall 2010 Swatches & Review
Hello again!
I know many of you have been excited and anxious to see the new Zoya collections for fall 2010! Well I just posted Wicked and now have Wonderful, which consists of 6 new creme colors. Oh and did I mention one of them was named Kelly? YES, finally we have a Zoya Kelly, and I might add it’s totally unique and amazing 
The formula on most of these was superb. Most only needed two coats for complete opacity.
Check out the swatches & review below!
Kelly
Kelly is a dark grey with purple/blue undertones. I am actually very happy that they didn’t go with a typical “Kelly Green” color for this one. They even told me they thought that would be too obvious. This color is SO TOTALLY up my alley! Not only is it a grey creme, which I love, but it has thins amazing smokey blue/purple to it which makes it very unique compared to other grey cremes I have. I heart it and am really happy this is my namesake This was two coats.
Shawn
Shawn is a myrtle green color. What I love about this one is it’s full of color and pizazz, but still subdued and not too bright looking. I think it’s a really great green for a fall collection and my second favorite of this bunch. This was two coats.
Kristi
Kristi is a bright cherry red. I love these kinds of reds that have pink in them, they are immensely flattering to my skin tone, and are always so shiny! This looks like more of a summer red to me, but I really don’t care because I don’t wear my polish according to season anyway. This was two coats.
Stacy
Stacy is what they describe as a mahogany red, meaning a reddish/brown. Hmmm. I’m not sure I liked this one on me much. The color didn’t do much for me and I did have a hard time with getting the coats even, as you can tell. I believe this was two coats and I really should have done a third to make it more even. Not my fav personally, but do think it would flatter other people better.
Burke
Burke is a dusty, subdued red with brown undertones. This didn’t look like anything special to me in the bottle, but it turns out I kinda like it. It’s still got a bright, shiny thing going on, and it doesn’t look like most other reds I already own, so kudos! This was two coats.
Cola
Cola is a medium brown/red. They describe it as a desert sand red and when I Googled “desert sand red” and looked at the first link, it does indeed look like the sand in that picture! I can appreciate this color but didn’t love it on me. I had very minor issues with getting this one even, but not as bad as with Stacy. I used two coats here, but think three would have been more ideal.
Overall I think this is a pretty good fall collection with a couple stunners, which are Kelly, Shawn & Burke.
These should be available for sale starting today!
Ok folks I wanna know, how are you feeling this collection? Which ones do you want to pick up?

Kelly looks like such a neat colour, and its opacity looks perfect. i can’t put my finger (no pun intended) on exactly what colour it is. viole-gr-avy methinks, really unique

Hi Kelly:
Zoya must have’s: Kelly, Shawn and yes, even Stacey (it’s the mahogany red I adore in this color.) Why doesn’t Zoya’s web site have the gorgeous swatches of their nail colors so their customers can actually see what they are buying? I know BB Couture uses your swatches and gets your permission to use them on WWW.Overall Beauty.com but Zoya doesn’t seem to do that. Anyway, Nameste.
Happy 4th of July

I love Stacy and Kelly, will try to buy them for sure.

Love Kristi and Shawn!
Your skin has warm undertones, right?

Hi Sanna,
Correct, I have yellow undertones.
2010
Yay! I’ve been eagerly awaiting the swatches for Wicked and Wonderful. I think Kelly is by far my favorite from Wonderful. I just hauled a bunch of polish this weekend and I’ve on a self-imposed polish no-buy mode for the next month or two…we’ll see how long this lasts, HA!
2010
Kelly! You’re the one that I want…… ooooo ooooo ooooo, yeah!
2010
Shawn is my favorite. I also like Cola. I know I want all the glitters and just these two. Will save me some money.
2010
I definitely love Kelly!! Wanted to love Shawn, but my skintone is cooler than yours, and the yellow based colors just make me extra pink! Was really lemming Burke, but w/brown undertones, usually doesn’t flatter me at all, sadly.
Paradoxal – was able to check that out and passed. Again the taupe-ness of it killed it when applied against my skin. Saved me money for more Zoya’s!
2010
Must. Have. This. Collection.
Or at least Kelly, Cola and Shawn
2010
Kelly, Shawn, and Cola are my faves. I like the deep, burnished look to Cola, and the other two are just stunning. Thanks for the swatches!
2010
I like Kelly the best. From the comments, I think most agree with this opinion.

Help me VV! I want some of these and some from the Wicked set, but I have had such a weird, frustrating time with Zoya (bubbling, long dry time). Can you (or anyone) recommend some tips? What base coat do you recommend? Do you use a topcoat? I have zoya ones, but it was disaster with the spring collection. Help!
2010
HI SB Sweetie,
I use Nubar Foundation & Diamont for base/top coats and never have issues. The only time I have had issues with Zoya bubbing is when I use their base/top coat and the quick dry drops so I don’t use them anymore.
2010
Kelly and Shawn = must have!
2010
Kelly is the only one I really MUST have. Shawn is a possibility. I would love to see Kelly swatched next to Chanel Paradoxal… I’m so torn over it. I love the color, but I’m not sure about the shimmer in it… Kelly almost looks like the base color of Paradoxal (grey/violet) but without the bright purple shimmer, but that’s just based on looking at random swatches in different lights, etc. I haven’t seen either in person.
2010
Hi jamie,
I have Paradoxal on the way but I can tell also from pics online they won’t be anything alike. Glad you liked Kelly also!
2010
Even though it’s from the Wonderful collection I may need to wear Shawn when I go and see Wicked in August!!
2010
Hah! It’s only fitting that Kelly be a stunner!

Hi Phyrra,
Awwwwwww

I think Shawn is the green color I’m going to have in my fall wedding… Need to talk the fiance into letting me get it! 0:)

I’m in love with Kelly and Shawn, they are stunning!

How close is Kelly to MAC’s Blue India? Thanks for doing these!!
2010
Hi Kirsten,
It’s nothing like Blue India actually. This is most definitely a grey with purple/blue undertones whereas that is definitely blue with slight grey undertones.
2010
And Kelly is by far the best one!
2010
Love Kelly and Cola!!!
2010
I think I’d definitely like to pick up Kristi and Kelly
2010
Kelly!! I love it!

I have to agree – Kelly and Shawn are the standouts of this collection. I kind of dig Cola – I think it would probably look nice with my skintone.
2010
I really like the Kelly color. Yay – I’m glad they made a good color for you;) It actually looks like the color I’m thinking of painting my kitchen cabinets.

Kelly is a gorgeous color! I definitely added this to my must have list. I’m also really diggin Shawn.
2010
I’m loving the collection overall. I was not familiar with Zoya until I’ve seen your tweets about it, as I am an opi girl myself. Where can I pick this up and what price range is it in?
