Style: Zoya Nail Color in Cynthia

I admit that I wasn't sure about this color when I first saw it in the Zoya Smoke Collection. From first look, it appears to be an off-black, or a dark grey color. It actuality, it's a deep teal! Like the other colors, it's a high-shine opaque finish, and I love that it's a different shade in every light. I know it will be one of my Fall staples.

Review: Zoya Smoke Collection

I was fortunate enough to receive the Zoya Smoke Collection as part of a gift bag from Blogger's Night Out. I've heard great things about the brand, and when I saw the fall-ready color palette, and I couldn't wait to try them!

The collection includes (l to r):

Jana - A medium nude putty creme with grey, mauve and purple tones

Petra - A dark, smoky, dusky grey creme with strong purple undertones

Codie - A blackened espresso brown creme with subtle olive undertones

Anja - A rich, deep, vampy red-toned wine purple with a glossy creme finish

Cynthia - A smoky, blackened peacock teal with soft warm undertones

Dree - A light, dusty drab olive green with yellow tones and a touch of grey

I must say that the colors are very pigmented, and are opaque with just one coat. I didn't apply a basecoat to my nails before application, and the formula is very creamy, shiny and easy to apply. So far my favorite in Anja, and I have to say it's the perfect wine color. I'll post each of the colors as I try them.
