In the second of Zoya’s three dazzling collections for fall this year—we have the Diva Collection. With six stunning metallics inspired by NYFW, let’s take a closer look…
I know if I’ve said this once, I’ve said it at least 10 times on the site—Zoya consistently has the flow on their formula down to a science. On very, very rare occasion have I ever had any issues with Zoya polish on my nails. I’ve actually had nail techs remark about how well it hangs on when it comes to removal time, and I really like the brand for my toes for that very reason. Nothing worse than a chipped big toenail to ruin a perfect pedi. Ick! So kudos to Zoya on that note.

Daul, Suri, Elisa
Feifei, Song, Ray
Swatches…
(Two coats, each)
I feel like words cannot even describe Daul, but I’ll try—and it didn’t even photograph as gorgeous as it truly is in real life. I took the collection out of the box, and audibly gasped for Daul! It’s this opulent golden-violet blend of a metallic, foil, and sparkling polish that you really need to see in-person if you are a purple lover. As a February baby, I love all things purple automatically—but this is something special.
Here we go again! Feifei has the same remarkable multi-dimensional qualities of Daul, only it’s a really interesting blurple. Stare at it long enough, and you’ll start to pick up the purple in the base of that blue! Well, okay. Maybe it’s just the way I perceive color!
Suri is a metallic grape that shares a more subtle version of the twinkle that’s inside of Song, below.
I was worried that Song would just be another metallic blue polish, but it has a very subtle sparkle that gives it a little special kick. This shade is so pigmented, that I probably could have gotten away with one coat of color, but I opted for two instead.
Ray is described as a metallic pine green—and that’s exactly what it is! I couldn’t think of any other way to describe it myself. There was one small exception to the flow on Ray in contrast to the rest of the collection—it was just a little more loose and watery, but I thought it was worth noting.
Elisa is a metallic crimson. It’s one of those classic, attention grabbing reds. A little more on the traditional holiday side, but pretty nonetheless.
By the way…
Did you catch the swatches of the Gloss Collection yet?
Bottom Line…
There are some stunning shades in here, and I bet you already know I’m going to say that Feifei and Daul are the clear-cut winners of this race, right? But I’m wondering what your faves are here! It’s no fun when I’m talking here to myself, so sound off in the comments below.
