Muse Collection - Bottle and Swatch Stick Comparisons - Part Two

 Hey Friends

Today I'm sharing the second half of the Muse collection, we have 6 shades, this is the much more interesting section of the collection.

Names are Zarin, Velma, Daphne, Octavia, Starling and Emery.

As always, new polish is first left and the photos are taken in natural daylight, I dont alter colour, merely crop and add my watermark to the photo, taken on a Pixel 8a phone.

So lets dive in to this set.

First up we have Zarin Nahla and Maria Luisa, no dupes, Zarin is a rose gold gold compared to Nahla and Maria Luisa.


Left to right Velma, Garbo and Ming, no dupes, Velma has a more brown undertone than Garbo and Ming is more red, Garbo has been discontinued.

Left to right Starling, Marie and Alice, no dupes, Starling is much paler than Marie and Alice, with more of a periwinkle hue, Marie has been discontinued.

Left to right Emery, Ophelia and Amara, no dupes, the tone of Ophelia matches but without those golden sparkles that Emery has, Amara is a warmer tone of brown, Amara has been discontinued.

Left to right Octavia, Giada and Mimi, no dupes, Octavia is described as a pearl, that does describe that shimmer visible in her, the shimmer in Giada is much finer and gives a metallic sheen, while Mimi has much larger shimmer particles.

Left to right Daphne, Savita and Tru, no dupes, Daphne a much more blue undertone than either Savita or Tru, Tru also has a multi-toned large shimmer particle.

There we are, I managed to get the second half done.  I've had to do some serious re-arrangement of the Zoya Wall, the yellow and orange colours are now in a helmer drawer while I add the new colours into the wall, I think my hubby and I are going to look into making some sort of wall rack that will hold everything and hopefully allow for expansion too.

Zoya Muse - Part Two - Bottle and Swatch Stick Comparisons

Hi Friends

Today I'm sharing part two of the Muse collection, the names are as follows 

Daphne, Emery, Navy, West, Octavia and Starlin.

As always, the new polish is first left and the photos are taken in natural daylight in front of a window, photos are not colour corrected, only cropped and watermark added.

First up we have Starling, Elsa, Alice and Kira, no dupes, Starling is so much lighter than the others with a purple undertone.


Left to right Navy, Ryan, Sailor and Sylva, no dupes, Sailor is slightly dustier than Navy, Ryan is much deeper and Sylva has a green undertone.

Left to right Daphna, Chiara and Savita, no dupes, Daphna has a blue undertone compared to Chiara and Savita has a more purple undertone and dries matte.

Left to right Octavia, Belinda and Mini, no dupes, this was quite tough, but the shimmer is different in Belinda and Mimi.

Left to right Emery, Ophelia, Elaine and Kate, no dupes, I have nothing with that golden flakie particle in it. A very unique colour.

Left to right West, Cecelia, Honor and Wyatt, no dupes, Cecelia is much lighter, Wyatt and Honor dont have that hint of blue that West does.

There we go, the last of the comparisons for Zoya Muse.       This is the side I prefer, some interesting polish colours, cant wait to wear Emery, Octavia and Daphne.
