Zoya Anja and Chloe!

Hello again! I will be showing you the Zoya Fleck Effect Collection over the next 3 posts. I decided to split them up into separate posts and include the base color in each one. I saw a lot of other bloggers layering the Fleck Effects over black, or over the Zoya True Collection. I decided to go with 3 of the Zoya Smoke & Mirrors Collection instead. I thought these cremes would compliment the Fleck Effects better. I hope you like the combos I chose!

For Chloe, I went with Anja for the base color. Anja is described by Zoya as, "a rich, deep vampy red-toned wine purple with a glossy creme finish. This vampy shade is both sexy and elegant." There is actually a teeny bit of shimmer in Anja. I only noticed it while applying the first coat though. Anyone else notice that? Anja has the perfect formula and covers nicely with two coats. I went without top coat for these photos so you can see the natural shine of each.

Then I added one coat of Chloe. Zoya describes Chloe as, "a sheer coral pink base with two types of duochrome Mylar flakes: red-orange and gold-green to blue. A fun flake glitter topcoat that can be layered over any shade to create a fascinating 3D effect." I am impressed with the amount of flakies that end up on the nail with just one coat. I like how Chloe has multiple color flakes. It dries naturally glossy and smooth.

What do you think of this combo?

Well that settles it, I've gotta get some of those Zoya flakies! Especially if it dries smooth, I hate those ones that are a bunchy mess
