Zoya: Savita

Hello, Everyone!  Today I have a review on one of the three free Zoyas I got from Zoya's Facebook promotion.  And actually, this is my first Zoya ever!  So I was super excited to try this on!  The color is "Savita"!

 

The photos were taken with artificial lighting.  All photos use two coats.  Photos are color accurate!


"Savita" is, according to Zoya's website, a "bold, vibrant medium purple with strong red and gold shimmer with a velvet matte finish."  And I couldn't agree more!  Perfect description! Makes my job of reviewing this easy! Lol.  I used two coats to get a nice even finish.  Because the polish is matte, it dries quickly, so you have to apply it fast!  It's good to get a good amount of polish on the brush and then do a coat on your nail in three strokes: one in the middle, one on the left, then one on the right.


The close-up picture above shows you the red/pink glitter!  So very pretty!  I really love this color and when I wore it (only for a day and a half) I got a compliment. :)  I wore it for a day and a half but it did not chip.  And I don't think it would have chipped if I wore it longer.  There was minimal tip wear.  And remember, these matte colors are NOT supposed to be used with a base coat or a top coat!


"Savita" is a part of Zoya's Matte Velvet Winter Collection.  It can be found on Zoya's website www.zoya.com for $7.  Because of this color, I really think I may have converted to an all out Zoya fan.  There are SO many colors on the website.  And customer service is amazing!


I really recommend this color!  It's so bold, but it's not shiny.  I am slowly getting more and more matte colors in my collection.  So far I have four.  Matte colors have such a chic look to them.  And "Savita" is no exception!

  3. I didn't get to participate in the promo, but I'm happy they had it since it sparked so many awesome blog posts recently! Hopefully the next time a deal comes around I won't have all of my extra funds tied up in medical bills. ;_;

  4. @tasha: Definitely next time! I fell in love with Zoya from the variety of colors and the great customer service! And for the short time I've been a fan on their Facebook page, Zoya has had 2 promotions. They really care about their customers!

    @Rachel Marie: You will LOVE this color! I don't think there is a way for someone too NOT like "Savita"!

    @Penny: That's so true! Since the promotion, so many blogs have been showing off great swatches of Zoya colors that I never would have thought of getting! And I am SURE that Zoya will be having plenty more promotions in the future!

    Thank you all for the comments!
