Zoya Entice Collection Swatch and Review

*Press Samples*

Hi everyone! Today I have the second part of Zoya's fall offerings, the Entice Collection. This collection consists of 6 warm and cozy cremes that scream autumn (and of course, having Zoya's fantastic creme formula). These polishes are the perfect compliment to the shimmery Ignite Collection which I have already reviewed here.  

Zoya-Entice 
Veronica is described as a brilliant wine full-coverage creme. This is a very classic color which I can see being adored by women of all ages. It so chic and I love it!

Zoya-Veronica

Ryan is described as a classic indigo full-coverage creme. This color is very inky blue and almost looks black in some lights. I actually don't think (despite having a million blue cremes) that I have one quite this dark. I can see myself using this a lot as a base for glitters because it would really make them pop.

Zoya-Ryan

Claire is described as a rich burgundy, full-coverage creme. I would say that this is more of a red-based brown. It makes me think of cherry chocolate (if that makes any sense at all..it's just what I think of when I look at it!) I definitely don't have anything like this in my collection and I really like it.

Zoya-Claire

Margo is described as a red plum full-coverage creme. Oh this is one of my favorites for sure. It is a very wearable shade that I can even see myself convincing my mom to wear, but it's a bit funky at the same time. It's so rich and decadent!

Zoya-Margo

Genevive is described as a leather grey full-coverage creme. This one had just a little hint of silver shimmer running throughout that gave it a bit of a different look than the other cremes. I would say this had a slightly thinner formula than the others, but it was still perfect in 2 coats.

Nyssa is described as a milk chocolate brown full-coverage creme. I can't believe that I like this one so much! I expected to hate it because I thought it would look awful on my skintone but it DOESN'T! Milk chocolate is exactly how I would describe this one, so Zoya has the description dead on. Another good addition to my collection because I have nothing else like it (I have VERY few brown cremes). This one seemed to dry down darker on the nail than how it looks in the bottle.

Zoya-Nyssa

The formulas of these cremes were pretty consistent across the board. They were all nice and opaque and had a good spreading consistency which didn't run or cause pooling. I used 2 coats for all of my swatches, but I used thin coats. If you used thicker coats, some of these could be careful one-coaters. I will caution you, be careful with application as these colors (especially the darker, more saturated ones like Veronica, Ryan, and Claire) can be a beast to do clean-up with because they tend to stain the cuticles a bit (it also helps to have your cuticles well moisturized ahead of time). Luckily, as I already said, the formulas are such that if you are careful, that won't be a problem.

Overall, Zoya's Entice Collection, like the Ignite Collection, delivers fantastic fall colors that will be perfect to wear when the weather starts cooling off. These polishes are now available for pre-order on Zoya's website (they retail for $9 each), and they will soon be available where Zoya is sold in your area (I always find them at Ulta locally).
