First we have the silvers: Luna, Harley and Trixie. Luna is a silver glitter in a whitish base, a very very cool take on a glitter polish. I also didn't have to scrub too badly to remove Luna, which was a relief. Harley is a cool dove grey with a slight shimmer. It has a slightly tricky formula, a little thick but sheer at the same time, so it can be challenging to apply even coats. However, a little extra care gives you a super soft, beautiful look!

Next we have Trixie, a fantastic silver foil. If you ever buy a silver foil, this is the one you should buy. Great for stamping, easy to apply, not patchy, dries quickly, very nice!

Next, the nudes. First, we have Anne, a butterscotchy sheer nude with a hint of shimmer. This is sheerer than I expected, but could be a really nice base for a french manicure. Next we have Minka, an almost taupe nude with full coverage in just 2 coats! I love this polish, it's a fabulous base for just about any nail art, and it looks so very classy.

I did 2 coats of Anne above, but wanted to compare 2 coats to 3 coats to show you the difference.
2 coats Anne: a little patchy, visible nail line
3 coats Anne: note that there's much less visible nail line
Next up, we have the neutral-pinks. I thought these were too close to neutral to be included in the last post, and that they'd be a better fit in this set. First we have Avril, a very nice pale pink that has a classy look to it. I am amazed at how well this polish builds on itself; on the first coat you think "Oh no, this will never be opaque!" Then, the second coat covers the nail line and evens everything out immediately.
I also have Dharma here, a very very sheer pink base with a really nice blue flash to it. I don't know how many coats it'd take to get opacity with this one, but it's a great little addition to other manicure colors, as well as adding a special touch to a French.

Finally, the browns. These are totally dissimilar, but I didn't have anything else to pair them with, so they get to be compared to each other. First is Angelina, a creamy dark brown that is almost a jelly in consistency; it applies like a jelly, but it is opaque in 2 coats, and has such a fantastic shine to it that I'm blown away. These pictures are without topcoat! That shine is all in the polish!
I also swatched Jules, a taupe with gold shimmer. This is a neat take on gold, as it is understated, shimmery and charming without being in-your-face. It's a gold for people who don't like gold. It does have a bit of visible nail line after 2 thin coats, but a third one would eliminate it entirely.

That's all I have for Zoya Neutrals, but stay tuned for the Cool tones next! I've also got some stamping plates coming in that I want to play around with, so I may test out how well Zoyas stamp! I'm guessing it's going to be awesome.
