Zoya Matte Velvet Limited Edition for Fall 2009
The soon to be released Zoya Matte Velvet collection for fall 2009 is here and is fabulous. Instead of being flat matte, these have a very subtle shimmery finish that gives them a velvety feel, rather than some other brands more chalky feel.
It’s my opinion that these really are much better than OPI’s recent matte collection. I feel as though OPI was a bit lazy in that they didn’t even create new colors, they just used old ones with a new formula. Also with the exception of La-Pazitively, OPI’s are very chalky and flat. The instructions for these (as well as OPI’s) say don’t wear with a base coat (or top coat obviously) but I did anyway and they worked out just fine.
As far as formula, like most matte polishes, these dried FAST. These dried faster than KO, OPI and ManGlaze so when applying, work fast and even! They were all just two coats, but you could probably do one thick one and it would look fine.
Loredana
Loredana is a great gunmetal grey with a subtle silvery shimmer. I love almost every grey I have tried and this one is no exception. Stay tuned for comparisons below of this next to ManGlaze Fuggen Ugly.
