Yves by Zoya can be best described as a deep sapphire that's midway in between indigo and royal blue with a blue pearl fleck in the traditional Matte Velvet finish.

Elliot's description is spot on, a deep teal blue reminiscent of a peacock tail, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Elliot also stamps. I have one coat of matte topcoat on my middle nail.

Yves is gorgeous, I love the deep inkiness of this but you can still tell its a blue, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, Yves does stamp but you gotta work fast! As with a lot of mattes Yves dries fast. I've also swapped out the brush to the z wide on this after doing the mani, I switched out the brushes on all the matte velvets. There is also a coat of topcoat on my middle nail.

I wish Zoya would do more matte velvet polishes.

Iris by Zoya can be best described as a deep amethyst with a fuchsia pearl fleck in the traditional Matte Velvet finish.

Daul is utterly stunning, she is a purple base but with tons of golden sparkles, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in 2 coats. Daul is not glitter so is easy to remove.

Iris is fabulous, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, I did two to cover my ridges, Iris also stamps well. Of this set of matte velvets I dont own Amal or Honor. 

There wont be a Zoya post tomorrow as its botox for migraine day, last pics show my nails though, gone for a pair of Fancy Gloss thermals, left hand is Cosmic Candy (cream) right hand is Amethyst Shards, I stamped with Orly Synthetic Symphony over Amethyst Shards in the warm state the design shows. Over Cosmic I used Zoya Ziv and Virago Varnish Beet Ice, in the hot state the stamping disappears. The plates were What's Up Nails B059 & B031.
