Zoya Urban Grunge Metallic Holos for Fall 2016 + Comparisons

Press Sample

I'm back today with the Metallic Holos section of the new Urban Grunge Collection. This part includes 3 metallics and 3 holo shimmers. I've got some comparisons as well, so let's get to it!

Zoya Urban Grunge Metallic Holos for Fall 2016 + Comparisons

Zoya Alicia: 3 coats. This is the one I previewed at Cosmoprof and everyone freaked out! It's definitely the most holo of the three holos in this collection. It also has a nice golden shimmer. It's pretty and I love to see polishes like this coming out from mainstream companies. It's been a while!

Zoya Merida: 2 coats. This is my favorite of the three holos. It's not as rainbow-y as Alicia, but the rich hunter green with the gorgeous sparkle. It will be perfect for fall and winter, just like Wyatt.

Zoya Finley: 2 coats. The purple holo. This is just like Merida. It's a rich deep purple. I don't love dark colors on my nails, so the sparkle makes it much more wearable for me!

Zoya Finley vs. Zoya Aurora. I think a lot of people confused the awesome finish with the color. Aurora and Finley has the same scattered holo, but the purples are totally different. You need both!

Zoya Ash: 1-2 coats. I love this metallic red. It's got an awesome formula and can be opaque in one coat. It's my favorite type of red too. I gravitate towards deeper reds.

Zoya Ash vs. Zoya Sarah. These are very close. Sarah is a bit more red than Ash. But next to each other, they are similar. Ash has a better formula, as it can be opaque in 1 coat.

Zoya Britta: 1- 2 coats. Again, the metallic shimmer of this deep burgundy makes it more wearable for me. It has the same awesome formula as Ash. This one is more winter while Ash is more fall, but I'll be wearing both whenever.

Zoya Britta vs. Tiegen. They look close in the bottle but on the nail, they are very different!

Zoya Troy: 2 coats. This is a gunmetal metallic. It actually looks kind of frosty to me, so it's not my favorite. I love this tone of grey though! And I have nothing like it in my Zoya stash!

So there you have it! The Zoya Urban Grunge collection? Do you prefer the cremes or the metallics? I thought the collection was overall cohesive, but I have to say, I'm missing the coppers and browns this fall! From the metallic holos, my favorites are Merida and Ash.
