A Zoya A Day - Wren

Hi Friends

Today I'm sharing my swatch and review of the stunning Wren.

Available on the website - No
Brush used - Z Wide
Does it stamp - Yes
Name - Wren
Year - 2023
Number - ZP1205
Coats - 2
Finish - Holographic
Collection - Polish of the Month
Colour - Purple
Topcoat - No

Wren was extremely popular and has sold out but can be described as a royal purple infused with blue, pink, and silver micro shimmer.

Wren is an absolutely stunning colour, when I put it on, it gave me Berry Good Looking by Cupcake polish vibes, sadly I no longer own my bottle, I sold it some time ago, but Wren has that same deep blue flash and as you can see in the pics, it was freaking my camera out.

Wren already came with the Z Wide brush inside, I guess that Zoya have finally bowed to pressure and its now the default brush, Wren has a fantastic formula, she was almost opaque in one coat, no running or pooling and I did two coats for my manicure, when I wore Wren outside in the sunshine she was mesmerising! 

The last pic is of my nails, since Zoya started shipping to the UK again I got the Qtica Nail Growth Stimulator and I have been using that on my nails every manicure since April, in June I added in the Barry M Nail Strengthener which I use 4 weeks on and 4 weeks off along with my usual Zoya Anchor basecoat.  The two shiny nails are nails with breaks, the left hand I dont remember how I broke it, the right one was catching a flat of coca cola two weeks ago.  Once they have grown past the free edge I'll file them all back but I am thrilled with the way they are looking now.

Zoya Enamoured Set A - Comparisons of bottles and swatch sticks plus Wren.

Hi Friends

Today on the blog I'm sharing my swatch stick and bottle comparisons for Wren and set A of the new Enamoured collection.

I have the following to share

Wren, Frenchy, Precious, Murphy, Lennon, Jean and Eleanor.

If youre new here, I put the newest polish to be compared on the left, my photos are taken in natural day light and I do nothing other than crop and add my watermark.

These polishes now come with the Z Wide brush already inside.

Continued below.




First up left to right is Frenchy, Gwen, Jordan and Jodi, Frenchy described as a warm beige pink, no dupes, Frenchy has a much more beige undertone than Gwen, both Jordan and Jodi have much more white undertones.

Left to right Precious, Patrice, Kit and Zanna, Precious is described as an orchid mauve purple infused with a hint of micro rose gold flakes, no dupes, Precious has a much pinker undertone than Patrice, Kit and Zanna all have a brown/orange undertone.

Left to right Eleanor, Dominique and Sansa, Eleanor is described as a dark cinnamon mahogany crushed velvet finish, Eleanor is stunning, no dupes, the undertones are all different.

Left to right Murphy, Yara and Logan, Murphy is described as an ultra-dark army green crushed velvet finish, no dupes, Yara is a much lighter colour with a yellow undertone and Logan is a much deeper colour with a blue undertone.

Left to right Jean, Elsa and Kira, Jean is described as a rich indigo periwinkle with a shimmering holographic finish, no dupes, Jean has a purple undertone compared to Elsa and Kira.

Last up we have Wren, described by Zoya as a royal purple, sparkling with blue, pink, and silver micro shimmer, no dupes, Wren has a similar base colour to Banks but with all that added sparkle, Finley has more blue undertone than Wren and Skipper is much lighter.


So there we have the first set of six for the new Enamoured Fall/Autumn collection, do you think I missed a comparison? let me know in the comments and if I own the Zoya I will do the comparison.
