Swatches & Review - 3 shades from the Zoya Natural Satins collection

Hi loves! Today I have a review about 3 of the Zoya Natural Satins shades. I have seen these on so many blogs and I was really curious about them, so I'm delighted Pretty Polish gave me the opportunity to try a few. If you haven't heard of the Zoya Natural Satins before, they are 6 neutral shades with a satin finish - it's like a hybrid between a glossy and a matte finish with a very slight texture to them. Nothing you can actually feel, but they look almost pebbled a bit.

Zoya Brittany is a rose mauve cream. It actually reminds me a lot of OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around which is one of my favorite colors ever, so I immediately loved this as well. I used 2 coats and obviously no topcoat.

Zoya Leah is a lavender tinged taupe cream. Funnily, it pulls quite grey on me, but it also depends heavily on the lighting you are in. Very easy to wear! Again, 2 coats and no topcoat.

Zoya Sage is a mossy sage green, I love greens like these! It's a bit retro feeling to me, and a perfect shade to transfer into Spring. Surprise: I used 2 coats and no topcoat.

Overall conclusion

I absolutely love these polishes. I know I haven't said a word yet about formula and finish, but here I go! The satin finish highly compliments the colors, and because of the ever so slight texture they aren't chalky looking. Applying these wasn't hard, the biggest tip I have for you is to load up your brush and use a generous coat. This way you are less likely to have an uneven surface which is harder to get even in the end.

Let the coats dry in between so you don't drag off any of the polish. If you see the satin finish show up, you're ready for your second coat. Also, don't brush half way the nail (sometimes I do to even things out, won't work with these because it'll show up as it dries down - use long strokes!). So yes, there's a slight learning curve, but how pretty is the final result?!

My favorite shade is Zoya Brittany, but they are all very lovely.
