I let my Zoyas pile up whereas I had nail break after nail break since actually Halloween. And they’re nonetheless damaged. So I lastly went to sort out some swatching. I’ll have plenty of Zoyas for you this month as I did final month! The Fall 2025 Muse assortment just isn’t essentially Autumn unique. In actual fact, I’ve been sporting black nails (who am I?!) for the previous few weeks so I really feel like I like this assortment extra proper now than I might have in September!
Hebe: 2 coats. A creamy rosy beige nude, delicate because the blush of a goddess. This can be a nice impartial, however is a bit of too near my pores and skin tone that it provides me lobster palms. I can see myself utilizing this as a base or an accent for nail artwork, however I don’t suppose I might ever use it as a full manicure sooner or later.
Bari: 2 coats. A rose-terracotta cream with autumn heat. Once more, just like the earlier coloration, this one is just too near my pores and skin tone that it continues to present me lobster palms. It has an awesome method and for the right pores and skin tone, this might be a beautiful impartial.
Samara: 2 coats. A dusty mauve cream softened by nightfall. This was nearly a one coat. That is extra my coloration as it’s nearly like a purple impartial and it’s actually fairly and dusty. It jogs my memory of previous colours like Rue and I’m certain they’re related to one another however this one positively I can see has extra pink in it. This can be a actually fairly coloration and my jam.
Winona: 2 coats. A muted berry cream muted like reminiscence. These descriptions are formally bizarre as a result of I have no idea what it means to be muted like reminiscence. Both method, this can be a actually fairly coloration and once more it’s extra of my jam because it seems to be like a berry jam, actually. I’ve been actually impressed with the formulation on these colours to this point.
Velma: 2 coats. A subdued sienna purple cream, the guts of a whispered secret. Okay now this one is a raspberry jam. I like this as a go to impartial as a result of I’m not a straight purple nails sort of gal. Once more, although I really feel like I’ve seen this coloration earlier than however nonetheless it’s nonetheless actually fairly. This one is a bit of little bit of a stainer so watch out with elimination.
Zarin: 3 coats. A rose-gold glitter with whispers of holographic celestial fireplace. This one would most likely be higher layered over one other coloration, however it appeared opaque within the bottle so that’s what I’m displaying you right here. I do just like the bigger glitters on this one and really want there have been a bit extra. It makes it totally different from different Zoya polishes. This one is sort of a glittery model palms for me.
West: 2 coats. A dusky pine cream veiled in shadow. I actually like this coloration however as I put it on, I went ‘this one goes to stain.’ I like the dusky inexperienced as it’s darkish and moody. What was superior was coloration me unsuitable, this one didn’t stain in any respect. So now I’m excited to have this coloration for the long run.
Starling: 2 coats. A muted periwinkle with a melody of pink iridescent glitter. I want this one leaned extra periwinkle blue and never purple as a result of it kind of jogs my memory of like a Barbie coloration. I believe it’s actually fairly. It’s simply not one thing that I might personally attain for. My niece goes to like this one.
Daphne: 2 coats. A smoky blue violet cream, echoing a midnight dream. I noticed the outline stated blue violet so I did this coloration subsequent, however it actually is purple and probably not blue in any respect on me. It’s a fairly dusky eggplant however once more I do really feel like I’ve seen this coloration earlier than. I should undergo my assortment to see if I nonetheless personal any that remind me of it. Surprisingly, this one didn’t stain me that badly and it was tremendous minimal. So for now, I’m conserving this one.
Navy: 2 coats. An inky midnight navy cream with profound magnificence. What a inventive title! lol. This can be a primary navy and once more I simply knew it might most likely stain my nails. I’m unsure how this differs from earlier Zoya navy blues, however I are likely to purge them so I can’t actually examine. As I put this on, I spotted I judged it method too rapidly as it’s tremendous shiny and has a jelly end. I didn’t put on it too lengthy so it didn’t stain that badly so I believe I would hold it as a result of it was really actually fairly on for only a primary navy. But it surely did stain a bit of so I ponder what’s going to occur if I put on this as a full manicure or if I’m dangerous sufficient to take action.
Octavia: 2 coats. A shimmering violet magenta pearl with jewel-like depth. I agree with the outline that this is sort of a jewel. It’s actually fairly. I’m not a purple lover as you realize, however for some motive, placing this coloration on it, I used to be like that is stunning and horny. The shimmer is rather more outstanding in individual than in my images. I’m shocked that I actually like this coloration.
Emery: 2 coats. A blackened espresso gold velvet metallic, deep as a muse’s velvet shadow. I like this coloration. I’m simply in an excellent darkish and moody nail polish coloration palette proper now and I like that. That is nearly like an excellent darkish grey and the shimmer is actually fairly in it.
Whereas this was a fall assortment, I believe if I had swatched it again in August that I could not have appreciated it as a lot as I do now. I’m in a darkish nail polish temper and so placing these on made me glad whereas possibly in August I could not have been into it. Total, this assortment is made up of colours which have a wonderful method so I can’t ding it for that. A lot of the colours are ones that I really feel like I’ve seen from Zoya earlier than and possibly they should have a refresh to get some extra authentic colours. I really feel like because of this they didn’t do a vacation assortment they usually have been specializing in the colour of the month currently though even that hasn’t been constant all year long. Let me know if you wish to see any comparisons!
