9:41 After Bisoux, I was so prepared for the spelling and pronunciation not to match in my head that it took me a lonnnng time to realize Cherri is not pronounced "Amaris" 😅
I love the rose gold flakies polishes and the holo glitter bombs. I know people love Zoya’s scattered holos because they are easy to remove, but I want my holo to SHOW up. (I hate linear holos.) And they show up so well in the Fall and Winter collections.
Inez, Vixen (❤ I don’t go for creams too much but with creams I usually just do two coats but sheerness is fine with me) Adara, Fairleigh (❤) and Bisoux (❤) are my favorites! If I get anything I may get Bisoux and Fairleigh. I agree that the polish of the month should be available for the entire month! Edited to add the Gingerbread man dancing at the end always makes me laugh. He has such good moves 😂
Ah, thanks bunches for the Amaris-London comparison. And, I totally agree with each of the COTM points you made! I say @Zoya should release a 2023 COTM Recap Collection in January...there's usually not much fresh stuff going on then anyway, so why not?? My top holiday/winter collection is hands-down the KBShimmer Best In Snow collection [releases on Wed, 11/22], followed VERY closely by the Rogue Lacquer Merry & Bright collection [releases Thur, 11/23]. I'm so enamored with these that they will represent the very first whole collections I buy!
The best polishes this year for zoya imo are the hot pinks. Kinda sad the one for july (I think july) was LE. The pink for this month is so pretty though ❤
I dont think they realised how popular October aka Lillith was going to be, I agree with you regarding giving us another go at getting them, I didnt order because shipping one lone polish to the UK seemed like a recipe for it going missing in transit or being broken/damaged.
I liked this collection a lot actually. It feels like it built on what was good about the fall collection without being same-y which was my big complaint with fall. My Amaris was verrrrrrry thick and textured, more so than Lennon was but it is pretty. I agree they should at least be upfront that the cotm are limited editions, and I feel like their release dates have been inconsistent? For me I have so much trouble with calendars it is really helpful to have a date or weekend even to know to be on the lookout.
I don't have any particularly dark cream colors from Zoya but I do have a few that are either teal or there's this one color that is a navy blue denim color that I absolutely love. That one is a little bit sheer on the first coat and then really darkens up on the second coat. However it's not as sheer asVixen was on the first coat.
Thank you for the swatches! I'm going to pass on the collection (the colors are nice, nothing really sticks out to me personally.) On the topic of those vampy polishes, I also experience the first coat being sheer and sometimes patchy.
Oooo Adara is gorgeous
And Amaris
Me: Omg Cherri is so pretty 😍
Nicole: "This gave me hell."
I was not expecting that lol.
i find very dark polishes to be kinda sheer but i can't get enough
Agreed!
I appreciate that you show the polishes in different lighting. It's very helpful. 😊

Orly was my favourite. I liked the classic Christmas colours
where did you find that cute gif of the dancing cooking?
always love the gif you pick out for the videos.
Holy jamoly these are beautiful!! I agree about those vampy shades when they're creams! Especially Zoya's! It seems so backwards

Ohh! Thank you so much for doing that comparison with Lennon!!

Vixen is a fav , it reminds me of Chanel Vixen but I like the Zoya better tfs ❤

OPI lincoln is one that comes to mind regarding such a dark colour being sheer on the first coat, the other is Zoya Courtney

It feels like their seasonal schedule isn’t as consistent as other mainstreams.
I got the gray loaded with holo. It's going to be beautiful for winter.

I have alllll the dark vampy reddish purples and theyre all sheer 🙃
Oooohhh....Fairleigh and Vixon (I don't even care if she stains)!!!

❤️
Not me saying, “Hi, Sassy!” like Sassy can hear me! 😊
Why every time I see that gingerbread man dancing do I think that is SO you?! 😂🤎💯
Fair-Lee for FairLeigh, they did their usual and misspelled the label lmao
It's a "boujeigh" alternative for fairly and call it a baby name. 😂
Lol you just said.. . "Fairleigh dries down fairly textured" pun intended?
So you’re not wrong about those blackened reds - every one I’ve used is super super sheer at first. And stains my cuticles like a BITCH.
Meh. Great swatches but going to skip. May pick them up next year
