Zoya Fleck Effect Collection Swatches- LOTS of Combos and Photos!!

Happy Caturday!!!

  It is Flakie gate here at LTHP today. I hope you guys have some time on your hands because this is going to be a long post. I won't be rambling much but there are lots of pictures for you guys. Can I just say how excited I am to see Zoya venturing out into the realm of Flakies?! It is nice to see a company listen to their customers and give them what they want. Now if they would hurry up and do those holos they spoke about on Facebook not so long ago.. Hhhmmm.... I have faith in you my Zoya Faeries!! Now... Are you guys ready to do this? Pop some corn, sit back and relax... Because it's about to get a little fabulous in here...

To see swatches and lots of different layering combos just keep reading after the jump.

 Since this post is a little long I won't go on about each color combination and just let you guys enjoy the pics. Instead what I will do is just post about each Flakie and then blow your minds away :D! All of the layerings are one coat of the glazes over the base color. I did not try these on their own. It is clear that they are not meant to be worn alone and I really wanted to play around with color combinations that would showcase the beauty of these amazing flakies. 

Zoya Maisie - Mylar Glaze

  This pretty is a light Blue base with Blue to Green flakies packed in it. The colored base is so barely there that on it's own you could never reach opacity. I love the shade of beachy Blue it is in and looking at the bottle on its own is mesmerizing. This flakie has the strongest and most obvious color shift in the bunch. What I mean by that is that you don't really have to tilt your hands to extreme angles to see the different colors in the flake. Brava Zoya *golf clap*.

Zoya Opal- Mylar Glaze

Opal is a light Green jelly base, that much like Maisie, is barely there. Looking into this bottle is like looking into the most beautiful swamp water you've ever seen lool. I know that sounds awful but it's really not. The flakes in Opal are, for the most part, Green. These also have a shift to Blue. Sound Familiar? I'll get into that later.. For now Please enjoy the beauty that is Opal.

Zoya Chloe- Mylar Glaze

  Chloe is Valentine's Day in a bottle... This color is just so sweet. I love that this is not a dupe of Essie Shine of the Times/Nubar 2010/SH Hidden Tressure Original. While the flakes that float in the soft Pink base are Golden/Coral-y/Copper they do not really shift to Green until you hold you hand at extreme angles. The predominant color is Coppery goodness. There are also some Blue flakies sprinkled in the mix. I think out of the Three this is my favorite because it is just so striking.

Now here I've put them over Black. On my index finger I have one coat of Chloe. Now for the issue I have with this collection. On my Middle and Ring fingers I did a coat of Maisie and Opal... I forgot to write down which color I did on which finger and I could not tell them apart! I still can't tell them apart! That makes me a sad panda. I know they look totally different when you layer them over other colors but what designates the difference between Opal and  Maisie seems to be mostly the base color because the flakies are not too far off from each other. Maisie is Blue to Green and Opal  is Green to Blue, but over Black.. None of that nonsense matter because they look pretty much the same. I, for one, am not too terribly bummed because I can make it work and I have some Zoya flakie frankens in mind that I want to work on... I wanna name one after my Momma!

Final Thoughts: Just when I start to think.. Maybe.... Just maybe... I might be getting "flaked out" Zoya goes and does this! I can not love them and I'll tell you why... For ages we have been nagging mainstream companies to give us more flakies... Nom nom nom!! We are the flakie monsters!! Well Zoya listened and gave us some motherfreakin' FLAKIES! Again I say Brava Zoya! These are really beautiful and they are inspiring me to make my own flakie creations as well. Also on a totally random side note: These are not as densely packed as some other flakies I've tried which I actually like because you can give the layering as dramatic or a subtle of an effect as you want. I totally want to play with my Zoya Beauties and make me some Zoya Magic with these flakes. 

Thank you Zoya for the Awesomesauce! Which are your faves?
