Whoa... there's a new collection from Zoya that's completely amazing!! I'm talking about The Ornate Holiday Winter 2012/13 Collection!! Each polish is a beautiful jewel tone with excellent pigmentation.
Ziv:

Zoya describes Ziv as: "A full coverage yellow-toned metallic gold foil with silver highlights and warm gold flake glitter accents." I really like Ziv although warm tones don't mesh well with my skin. Ziv's formula is excellent. I have two coats in the above pictures.
As soon as I saw Ziv in the bottle, I knew I had to grab my bottle of OPI Goldeneye and do a comparison shot..

They're close, but Ziv's formula blows Goldeneye's out of the water. I have two coats of each polish in the above pic. Ziv is more yellow and Goldeneye is more gold. Ziv is denser and prettier, in my opinion.
Blaze:

Zoya describes Blaze as: "A full coverage cool-toned medium mulberry red with a high concentration of fine diamond holographic glitter." Blaze is the perfect deep berry red for my skintone!! I just adore the tiny holo specks.. they give Blaze such deep dimension! Once again, the formula is to die for. Blaze practically applied itself. Pictured above is two coats.
Electra:

Zoya describes Electra as: "A micro fine diamond holographic glitter mixed with large silver holographic bar tinsel in a clear base." Electra is the oddball of this group. I like the larger holo bar tinsel and kinda wish the smaller glitter wasn't added. Electra is just a little overwhelming and dense. A thinner holo glitter topper would have been ideal for me, but I still like Electra. She's unique and she's perfect for Christmas.. a tinsel-bomb on your fingers!!
Storm:

Zoya describes Storm as: "A full coverage, holiday black with a high concentration of micro fine diamond holographic glitter." Storm is my favorite of this collection! I love black bases with glitter and this one is like my dream-polish. The formula is a dream, the color is a dream and there's just the right amount of glitter in Storm. Storm can be worn dressy or casual.. she's so versatile! I have two flawless coats of Storm in the pictures above.
Aurora:

Zoya describes Aurora as: "A full coverage, medium sugarplum purple flecked with a high concentration of micro fine diamond holographic glitter." Aurora has almost a jelly finish. I used two coats for the above pics, but in sunlight you can see I should have added a thin third coat. I love how the holo particles just seem to "swim" around in Aurora. Aurora looks almost pink in sunlight and I love pinks, so this one is a favorite also.
Logan:

Zoya describes Logan as: "A full coverage, yellow-toned forest green with dense, foil-like yellow-gold and blue-green duochrome shimmer." I love the blue undertones in Logan. When I applied the first coat, it totally looked blue. After two coats, you have a perfect forest green color and the hints of gold and blue are really beautiful. This is a great holiday green that's not your traditional "Christmas Tree Green." So festive and chic!!
**I love so much about Zoya's Ornate Collection!! I love how each color is so versatile.. you can mix and match them all! I love how Zoya chose colors that aren't your traditional Christmas Reds or Greens. Zoya stepped out of their comfort zone with this collection and it really paid off because I haven't seen a collection as beautiful as this in a long time!!! Yay Zoya.. you rocked it with this one!!**
