Zoya Summertime 2011 Collection Review, Swatches and Photos

Yay for another Zoya collection, they are definitely one of my favourite brands ever~ The range of colours completely caters to my “wild” side, then I have Essie who completely caters to my “tamed” side 🙂

This collection came out probably the same time as Zoya’s Sunshine collection, but is instead filled with crèmes instead of shimmer 🙂 So between the two collections you get an interesting balance. I wish the colour variation was a little bigger in this collection, especially since the reds seem to sit very close together. Not sure if that was intentional or not.

As always, all polishes are 2 coats with no top coat.

Areej

A red berry crème, I really love the richness of this colour, it feels rather grand.

Breezi

Token medium dusty blue crème, lovely smooth finish but couldn’t find any dupes in my collection 🙁

Kieko

A darker more purple version of Areeji, another lovely shade which I’m thinking would work well as a Winter shade to be honest.

Mira

A deep purple shade (aren’t my descriptions just the most precise!?), I think this shade is darker than OPI’s Funky Donkey and A Grape Fit!

Sooki

A bright true red crème, Essie’s Silken Cord is only a tad lighter than Sooki.

Tamsen

A orange based red, very similar to Sooki with a light wash of orange on it. If you have one, I don’t really see the point in owning the other (unless you’re a wasteful beauty blogger like yours truly).

I -loved- both collections Zoya has released for summer so far, I love shimmers and I love crèmes! Zoya is doing some amazing work with their latest shades, I can’t wait to see what else they have in the future 🙂
