Dita by Zoya can be best described as a soft yet saturated purple-toned medium berry-red creme. 

How pretty and bright is Tucker, this is a gorgeous shade of blue, absolutely fabulous formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Tucker also stamps well.

Dita is quite a chameleon shade, she doesnt really want to photograph colour accurately. Dita has an outstanding formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Dita also stamps.  The dark daylight picture is colour aceturate, this is not a super bright shade.

Parker can best be described as a warm greige.

Zoya's colour descriptions get stranger by the day, Evan is a gorgeous tan with a yellow undertone, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Evan also stamps well.

Parker, a reuse of the name, originally a Spa Essentials colour from 2006, the new one is a warm light brown, I dont see any grey in this to make me think greige though, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Parker also stamps well.

Life update:- My eyes have healed up amazingly well, my left eye with the minus 22 lens in, I can see quite well out of this eye now, no more frosted glass window view. My right eye has a minus 1 lens in, they worked with the shape of my eye and its like I have a whole new eye, I can see much further than I used to, my focal focus length has gone from the tip of my nose to me having to stretch out my arm to see my nails in focus, I do have to use a pair of reading glasses at plus 3 to use my phone, I can read my kindle without glasses now, being able to sit on our sofa and clearly see the tv is still a thrill as is getting up in the middle of the night and not scrabbling around for glasses. I am so lucky I was able to have this done on the NHS, it truly has been life changing.

The cats were being crazy last night, pics at the end.

Donnie can best be described as a full-coverage purple-toned sangria cream.

Zoya puts both of these into the red/purple colour category which is interesting as I'd call these both deep pinks.

Ciara is gorgeous, I can certainly see the red/purple undertone to this, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, she also stamps.

Donnie is the same but with that blue/purple undertone, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, she also stamps.

I'm showing you Ciara and Donnie next to Allison, Koley and Alegra in the swatch stick comparison.

L to R Allison, Koley, Alegra, Donnie and Ciara.

Liza can best be described as a rich, cardinal red cream.

Interesting that Zoya describe both of these as reds, when I tried to put them in my red section they looked wrong so I put them in the pink section.

Briar is that lovely terracotta colour with that pink undertone, fabulous formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, she also stamps.

Liza is also what I would called a terracotta but lighter than Briar with more of an orange undertone, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Liza also stamps.

These two pair really well.

Lo by Zoya can be best described as a bright, warm, medium pink cream with strong coral undertones.

Dacey is gorgeous, this looks amazing on hands and toes, its bright but not super in your face, perfect formula, no running or pooling and opaquer in one sweet coat and she stamps.

Lo is also stunning, I love the coral undertone in this, another great colour for toes, perfect formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, also stamps.

We have actual sunshine today so the sun shots arnt great. I've just noticed that the ZP numbers on the promotion are not what the bottles say, theyre plus one my Audrina is number ZP438 and so on, I wonder why the promotion didnt use number ZP440... as thats now Lo's number, bottle number ZP437 was used for Penelope from the Blissful collection. That's interesting, Zoya also never used bottle number ZP1000 as far as I can tell either.
