Zoya - Holiday 2020 Intruiging Collection

*AD - Gifted*
Hello! Today I have the new Zoya Intruiging Collection to share with you. The Intruiging Collection is Zoya's Holiday 2020 release, and is packed full of a variety of finishes - including metallics, shimmers, and cremes. As usual, this is a 12 piece collection, so let's get stuck in!

Before I start my individual swatches, I'll address the formulas here. All 12 polishes were smooth and easy to apply, and the cremes have the usual buttery Zoya formulas. I have used Zoya's descriptions for each polish, and a few are described as metallics. I personally consider them to be more shimmers than metallics (gorgeous glowy shimmers!), so just bare that in mind.

'Nico' is described as a celadon-toned pearl with a touch of silver shimmer blended in. I had to google celadon as I'd never heard of it before, but either way I quite like this! It's a very unique colour. It starts off sheer but builds up well. Below is three coats with topcoat.

'Eunice' is described as a 'chartreuse metallic green'. Below is two coats with topcoat.

'Nisha' is described as 'a deep royal blue-violet metallic'. This is the perfect example of a blurple. Below is two coats with topcoat.

'Koley' is described as a 'ruby pink metallic'. This starts off ever so slightly sheer but builds easily. I added a third coat, but you can definitely leave it in two. Below is three coats with topcoat.

'Avi' is described as a 'smoky greige creme with a hint of red-brown'. This pulls quite purple on me. Below is two coats with topcoat.

'Brett' is described as a 'deep charcoal indigo creme'. I can easily seeing this being a one coater if you apply a slightly thicker coat. Below is two coats with topcoat.

'Isti' is described as a 'wintery steel blue, textured PixieDust with a pop of brilliant royal blue for added vibrancy'. I adore textured polishes, so I was super excited to see a new PixieDust in here! It was pretty much opaque in two, but I did add a third it build up some more glitter. Below is three coats without topcoat.

'Lottie' is described as a 'soft champagne pearl with a hint of glistening shimmer blended in'. This starts off sheer, and I could still see my nail line after three coats in certain lighting. The sparkly finish helps distract from that though! Below is three coats with topcoat.

What do you think? I feel like I say this all the time for Zoya, but I am in love with this collection! I really appreciate the range of finishes, and there are some definite stand outs. My personal favourites are 'Eunice', 'Meredith', and 'Itsi'. I do also love the cremes, especially 'Beverly' and 'Avi'.

You can find the full Intruiging Collection on the Zoya website here. For those in the UK like me, it is also available on the Zoya UK website here.
