I immediately fell in love with the set of six cremes, then today happened. In love again! These luxurious polishes will be a great addition to your Zoya collection.

The Flair collection for fall 2015 consists of six highly pigmented luxurious liquid metal polishes. Available now for pre-order at www.zoya.com.

First up is Estelle. A lovely Royal blue metallic. Fabulous formula and I love everything about it!

"Estelle can be best described as a blue on blue liquid metal with a blackened base."I used two easy coats.

Zoya makes lots and lots of purples. And of all the purple Zoya polishes I own, I have nothing else like this jewel called Giada!

"Giada can be best described as a purple liquid metal with a hint of fuchsia pearl." I only needed one coat! This purple is amazing!

Ember, it’s so hot, it’s cool!

"Ember can be best described as a deep, fiery red liquid metal with enough blue to be wearable for all skin tones." Again, absolutely perfect formula, one coat. It was so hard to make up my mind which of these was my favorite, but this is most surely a contender.

Aggie is one of the chameleon chromes that I can’t get enough of!

"Aggie can be best described as a gold holo flip liquid metal with bronze micro glitter. Sheer enough for layering with 1 coat or fully opaque in 3 coats!" I needed only two coats for full opacity.

Cinnamon is a delicious brown metallic.

"Cinnamon can be best described as a classic bronze liquid metal, originally designed for Zang Toi NYFW Fall/Winter 2015." What a gorgeous brown! Two coats here.

Pt. 1 Zoya Focus collection for Fall 2015

It’s finally here. You know summer is on its way out when Zoya introduces their fall collection. Focus (six transitional cremes) & Flair (six jewel toned metallics) are here for 2015 and they are stunning.

Today I’ll be reviewing Focus and stay tuned for the second half, Flair.

The Focus collection for fall 2015 consists of six highly pigmented buttery smooth cremes. Available now for pre-order at www.zoya.com.

Sia is a must-have deep blue creme. Let me say that although these colors are familiar to some you may already have, what sets them apart is how pigmented they are and smooth they apply.

"Sia by can be best described as a true, royal blue cream. Please note: This is a highly pigmented shade." Make sure to apply a base coat to prevent staining. 1 Coat, super creamy.

Lidia is the quintessential eggplant that is perfect for fall.

"Lidia by can be best described as a rich eggplant cream that has a blackened purple base and just a hint of red to make it more wearable for all skin tones." 2 coats, almost like a crelly application!

Janel is a warm toned red, and it reminds me of a comfy sweater!

"Janel by can be best described as a deep red cream that has a warm undertone. 1-2 coats." I used 2 to deepen the shade.

Hannah is the other red in this collection and I wondered at first, why two reds in the same collection of cremes. But when you apply it this stunning red is completely different in tone. It’s just plain flashier!

"Hannah by can be best described as a clear, classic red cream with a balanced (neutral) undertone." 2 coats, thinner than the rest, smooth application but need greater care loading brush to avoid pooling.

Desiree is a deep rich brown and even though I have several Zoya brown tones, I don’t have one quite this rich.

"Desiree can be best described as a classic sable brown cream that has just enough gray to keep it cool in tone." One AMAZING hyper pigmented coat of this creme wonder. Application is so easy, love this!

And last of the Focus collection is Charli. It reminds me of wet dark cement in shade and the formula is perfect! Fabulous!

"Charli can be best described as a dusty taupe cream that has a hint of green, but is still a perfect neutral." Just like Desiree, this is on the thicker side and oh, so pigmented. One super easy coat!
