Troy is a liquid pewter with a foil finish and an edgy touch of black and gold.
I think this has little coloured sparkles in it as well. A stunning formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat. It also stamps, I've added some close ups in different lights to show the sparkle.
This I love for New Years, its understated but still sparkles nicely, I could see me wearing this and maybe a coat of Eclipse over the top on a few nails.

Collection - Ignite
Colour - Grey/Green
Topcoat - No
Yuna by Zoya can be best described as a full-coverage warm grey with copper and gold liquid metal.
One I would say if you like grey/green with golden shimmer to grab, this is stunning and so unusual, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats. I hope you can see that green tone, I love that this isnt glitter and it applies smooth and its easy to remove. The full Ignite collection is stunning all the polishes are sparkle bombs, I have a pic at the end of both collections as Zoya used to do a 12 piece fall collection but split it into 2 halves and give each have a name, so the fall 2014 collection was the Entice and Ignite collection.

Colour - Grey/Blue
Topcoat - No
Marina by Zoya can be best described as a hybrid between a blue and grey, with a dusty metallic finish.
I dont think I'd call this a metallic more a shimmer to me, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats. I really like this colour, its dusty with silver shimmers so cute. As you can from my label this was purchased from a destash and the previous owner scored out the name with a marker but I managed to get most of it off with careful cleaning.
For my weekend mani I went with Zoya Teresa, a stunning red toned purple with pink shimmer, opaque in two coats, I wore it with topcoat as it dried a tiny bit dull. Gorgeous formula, no running or pooling. Love the tone of this polish, so sophisticated.

Tris is so fun, its like wearing pewter on your nails. Good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats.

Loredana is a discontinued polish from Zoya, it can best be described as a gun metal grey with sublet silver sparkles.
Good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, I wish this didnt dry quite as fast as it does, I've used a couple of the other mattes to stamp with.
Last pic shows Loredana with a shiny topcoat, look at all that sparkle :)

Colour - Grey

Temperance by Zoya can be described as a cool medium gray with a pink shimmer.
I'd say the shimmer is more magenta than a pink or its a dark pink, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats.
This is one I wish they had decided to add to their permanent range, pink and grey is a great combo. I like that the shimmer shows up. This name reminds me of the heroine Temperance Brennan from the Kathy Reiches books .

Colour - Grey/Blue
Topcoat - No
Carey by Zoya can be best described as a periwinkle gray, I think thats pretty accurate, check out my hand swatch pics, my right hand looks blue!, the colour is correct on my left hand though. Its a grey with a blue undertone.
I dont know if this is me still not used to the Pixel 4a camera or its the polish.
Good formula on this one, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats.
The last pics are what I wore over the weekend, I got a polish from the Polish Pickup UK event, its called Dr Facilliers Potion, its by Nail Artisan Cosmetics and its a thermal that goes from deep purple when cold to a bright red when warm plus flakies, so interesting and I also stamped over it, although as usual I managed to find a colour that matched exactly and didnt show up as well as I would have liked.
