Zoya Whispers 2016 Collection

Today I have swatches of the Zoya Whispers Collection. This collection includes six neutral colors. 


Here is what Zoya has to say about the collection.

Cala - A soft nude with a kiss of warmth that will flatter most skin tones.
April - A light, rosy toned neutral that is a modern take on blush.
Eastyn - A subtle grayed grape that is more interesting than mauve and gives a modern alternative that is ever so wearable.
Misty - An easy to wear taupe that is an updated version of gray with just a touch of green to make it daring.
Ireland - A uniquely wearable green that is muted enough to make it subtle yet still interesting. This green is well balanced between blue & yellow so it’sflattering on all skin tones.
Lake - A softened blue that gives the effect of serene water with just a hint of vibrancy to preserve its luminosity.

Now on to my swatches and my thoughts of the collection. 

Ireland - A pastel green. This is two coats. The formula was slightly watery so be sure to have a gentle and hand. It is self leveling. 

Misty - A mute tan green. This is two coats. Again, this formula was slightly watery. 

Lake - A pastel blue. This is two coats. I really liked this formula. It was smooth and creamy. 

Eastyn - A pastel purple. This is two coats. This was actually my favorite from the collection. The formula was creamy and the color is gorgeous!

April - A pastel pink. This color is very light but only need two thick coats. I decided to wear this color for the rest of the week since it so work appropriate.

Cala - A tan polish. This is two coats. The formula was creamy and I must say it is a perfect nude. I think this will be my go to instead of Essie Sand Tropez now. 


Overall I really liked this collection. I feel like the colors transition nicely from winter to spring. Besides the first two colors being a bit watery, the rest are perfect. The entire collection is available at Zoya.com for $9 each.
