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 Collection - Bottle and Swatch Stick Comparisons - Part One

Hi Friends

Today on the blog I'm sharing my bottle and swatch stick comparisons for part one of the Muse Collection from Zoya.

The following polishes are being compared.

Hebe, Bari, Samara, Winona, West and Navy.

As always, I dont colour correct my photo's I merely crop and add my watermark, although I am on the hunt for a new photo editing app, Pixlr decided that the free version should only allow you to save 3 photos per day, which is highly annoying when youre trying to edit photos for a blog post. Anywho, if this is your first time here, the new polish is always first left, all photos are taken using a Pixel 8a phone in front of a window for maximum natural lighting.

At some point I need to take the Zoya off of their wall racks because I have a years worth of polishes to integrate into the rainbow, I am not looking forward to it because its going to be a huge amount of up and down on a step stool and laying them out on my desk to add the new ones.

So lets dive in shall we.

First up is Hebe, Sutton and Nevaeh, no dupes, Hebe is a tiny bit paler than either Sutton or Nevaeh, Neveah is discontinued.

Left to right Bari, Brittany and Eastyn, no dupes, Bari is slightly paler in tone to Britany and does not have the purple undertone of Eastyn, both Britany and Eastyn are discontinued.

Left to right Samara, Henley and Brianna, no dupes, Henley and Brianna have a more brown undertone compared to Samara.

Left to righ Winona, Star and Bobbi, no dupes, Winona has a more purple undertone that either Star or Bobbi, plus Winona is a cream, Star is discontinued.

Left to right West, Cecilia and Beckett, no dupes, West is a much deeper tone than Cecilia and Beckett has a more blue undertone than West, Beckett has already been discontinued.

Left to right Navy, Ryan and Elliot, no dupes, Navy is lighter in tone than Ryan and Elliot has a tiny hint of green undertone.

There we go, thats the first half of Muse compared, is there a comparison you would like to see or check before purchase? Let me know in the comments.
