Today I have the other three Zoya Cashmeres for your enjoyment! Zoya's descriptions of polishes are sometimes amusing to me. They either use super boring descriptions like "navy creme" or they go with something dramatic like "dark sea creme" like they did with Zoya Hunter. I don't know about dark sea, but this is definitely the essential hunter green creme polish. You know I love my greens, and us green lovers have to have a moody, slightly army-ish green for fall. Zoya definitely fulfilled this need with Hunter.


Hunter was lovely to apply and was opaque in two coats. Excellent formula!



Base: one coat Nicole by OPI Base Coat Plus
Color: two coats Zoya Louise
Top: one coat Essie Good to Go
Application: good (out of poor, average, good, excellent)

Zoya Louise is a rich brown creme. It's not too dark, but it's much deeper than a milk chocolate brown like Zoya Dea. Dea's deep, luscious fall cousin once removed maybe.


I used two coats of Zoya Louise for these photos. The formula was good, but there was some dragging near the cuticle. You can see this on my middle nail, although it was less obvious in person.



Base: one coat Nicole by OPI Base Coat Plus
Color: three coats Zoya Flynn
Top: one coat Essie Good to Go
Application: good (out of poor, average, good, excellent)

Zoya Flynn reminds me of cozy camel colored wool coats, but a little bit lighter and less yellow-toned. This polish could really be a nude on some skin tones. I never really go crazy over neutrals, but it's nice and I know I'll wear it when I am in need of a nice neutral creme.


Flynn was the least pigmented in the whole collection. I used three coats and definitely needed the third coat. Otherwise, it has a good formula.


Overall, the Zoya Cashmeres are a lovely set of great fall colors. You may have similar colors in your collection, but if not, you can't go wrong with any of these. My top picks are Livingston and Sailor!
