Skylar by Zoya can be best described as a medium steel blue with a softened, dusty look and speckled by visible gold and silver shimmer flecks.

Two of Zoya's chameleon colours, very shifty depending on light source.

Austin is so pretty, I dont think I'd call this a wedgewood blue though, I think theres a bit too much grey, nor is it bright enough, good formula though, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, Austin also stamps well. I've included a pic of some wedgewood.

Skylar is one of my first Zoya's I love the grey undertone and sparkles in this, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, you can see it stamped but probably best over a darker colour.

The collections compliment each other nicely I think.

Right at the very bottom are some pics of my weekend mani, I started out with two coats of Fancy Gloss Once Upon A Time a gorgeous blue (cold) to pink (hot) thermal, I then stamped using Virago Varnish Not A Happy Camper and Sally Hansen Insta-dri Heather Hustle using plates Born Pretty BP-L045 for the lace images and Dixie Plates Butterflies and Bees for the flowers and butterflies. The pics are all mostly the cold state.
