Zoya Matte Velvet

Zoya has brought back their popular Matte Velvet line! As soon as they were released, I called Ulta to make sure it was in stock and bought 3 of the 6 colors. I'm hoping for a sale or promotion so I can order the rest from this collection. 
The Zoya matte velvet nail polishes are not meant to be long lasting like regular nail polish. You'll get tip wear and chipping much quicker than usual.

Zoya Veruschka is a dark forest green with hints of shimmer in a matte velvet finish. The formula is thick and dries as you're applying it (like neons) but I found it pretty easy to work with. 2 coats for opaque coverage (no base coat and no top coat). I can't even tell you how much I love this color. It is perfection in a bottle. The color is so elegant and would look great on any skin tone. I can definitely see this for holiday manis.

Zoya Savita is a rich purple with hints of shimmer in a matte velvet finish. The formula is the same as Veruschka, thick but easy to work with. For Savita, I used a base coat and it made the application harder. Do yourself a favor and skip the base coat! 2 coats for opaque coverage (no top coat). When the light hits this color, it is incredibly stunning. The color is so rich and vibrant.

Zoya Harlow is a rose plum shimmer in a matte velvet finish. The formula was awful. It was so thick and dry I felt like I was working with tar! You can see how lumpy my nails are. I'm very disappointed. This goes to show that not every color/formula in the collection is going to be amazing. I wonder if adding nail polish thinner will ruin the nail polish. I really can't see myself using this again. 

I don't know how long this collection will be available or how limited their quantities are so I highly suggest you get the colors you cannot live without. Trust me, you'll be kicking yourself if you don't.
