Zoya Channing is a GORGEOUS coppery rust metallic. It has a hint of pink in some lights that helps to make it more unique. Channing is a really glowy shade, it looks like it's burning in the sun! I love all copper polishes, and I honestly think this may be my new favorite copper. Some coppers can look too brown, but Channing is all glowing orange-y glory. Also, I don't know if there are any girls named Channing, so I immediately just think of Channing Tatum (drool).
I only needed two coats of Channing, it's very nicely pigmented. The formula is lovely, not too thick or thin, just perfect and easy to apply.

Zoya Mason is a bright shimmering fuchsia. Zoya describes it as "an exciting red violet or "Fandango Pink" metallic". I don't know about "exciting", but Mason is really pretty! I googled Fandango Pink and it seems appropriate to describe Mason. "Fandango" was first used to describe this shade of fuchsia in 1925, by the way.
I used three coats of Mason for these photos. The formula was good, my only complaint was that it was slightly less pigmented than the likes of Channing and some of the other Satins.
Color: one coat Zoya Maria Luisa over three coats Zoya Mason

Zoya Maria Luisa is a REALLY cool gold glitter topper. According to Zoya's description, it's gold cellophane and was originally designed for the Rafael Cennamo/AW13 show at Fashion Week. Maria Luisa is really unique in my collection, and that's saying something because I have a ton of gold glitter toppers. The "glitter" in this is not regular glitter, it's very flat and smooth. It's also irregularly shaped, more like flakies than glitter. I will be using this over everything!!

I had to try Maria Luisa over the deep brown from the Zoya Cashmeres, Zoya Louise. I also was dying to trying it with a matte top coat! My pictures do not do this combo justice!! I couldn't get good pictures in the sun because Maria Luisa is so reflective. My nails just looked like a shimmery blur. But these pictures in low light aren't great either. If you like gold glitters or flakies, you should definitely get this one!
The Zoya Satins are available now at Zoya.com.
