Swatches: Zoya Mirros Collection

Hi dolls! I hope you are all doing well ^_^

I have a mini collection swatch post to share with you~ This might be a little late, I am sure most of you have seen these polishes already! This is one part of the Zoya Fall 2011 collection called Mirrors. I purchased three colors:

-Yara: Olive green with golden flakes
-Neeka: smokey, greyed purple with subtle purple/red shimmers and not so subtle gold flakes
-Jem: Deep, red toned purple with pink/gold flakes

 *Oh and I should mention, I bought these before I started my Project 10 Pan!

Price and Availability
$8 per bottle. You can purchase them on the Zoya Website.
I purchased mine at my Uni's bookstore (weird, right?).


Yara
This was the color I knew I had to have. It is really unique and I have not seen a gold and olive green combo in a nail polish before. The formulas was amazing. This is two coats, only because I messed up the first coat. But you really only need one coat for full opacity! It is insane.

Neeka
At fist I was not going to buy this, but when I saw it in person, I loved it and I coulnd't resist. I am a purple fiend, and this was waaay to good to pass up. Like Yara, this went opaque in one coat. One coat!!! I love this because the purple is very smokey and a little dark, but the gold shimmer really brightens up the nail color a bit, and it just looks phenomenal on the nails.
My nails are sooo long right now.

Look at that! Isn't it beautiful?
Jem
Yet another color I was not going to get, but when I saw it in person I fell in love with the color! Like the previous two, this also has a one coat formula. But I also messed up the first coat so I had to apply a second one. This color is super glam, and very appropriate for fall and winter. The one thing I noticed though was that Jem has less gold flakes in artificial light than Yara and Neeka. The gold flakes and shimmer are more noticeable in natural light.

I hope you guys can see that beautiful shimmer!

Verdict
I absolutely love these three shades! They all have a fantastic formula/opacity and they are all gorgeous colors! I think these three colors were the starts of the Mirrors collection and I am so glad I purchased them.
(These might be a little expensive for some people, but compared to Chanel's $25 polishes, $8 is not so bad!) These have quickly become my favorite Zoya polishes ever! Zoya, you guys did a fantastic job!

Rating: 10/10
Recommend? Duh! If you love shimmer, then  you are in for a treat~
Repurchase? I definitely would. If I ever finish these up, I most likely will repurchase it.
