Faye

So I originally bought Faye because I loved the purply mauve color and with the gold flecks as shown in the picture, I fell in love. Sadly, once it arrived, it was more gold sparkle than anything. Easy to say I was rather disappointed in this shade. But I am still quite the fan of Zoya products.

Going with four stars because I still do like the color, but I was hoping that the purple would be more strong. I have been looking for a purple with gold color shift, but for this one, the purple is almost absent. I still do like the color on it’s own, and the consistency is amazing with no streaks and quick drying. It is pretty sheer, though. Takes 4-5 layers to really get it to stand out. Might be better as an overlay on a more opaque color.

This is a pretty polish. It’s unlike any I’ve got in that color family. Under lamp light it looks gold, in dim natural light the mauve undertone really comes out. Then in direct sunlight it’s more rose gold. This is my first time trying Zoya. Got five bottles and this is my first one trying. Nice spreadability, little slow on drying time. Took two coats to achieve coverage I wanted. No idea yet how it will hold up. I will apply a clear top coat to try and extend longevity.

Faye is much more of a very sparkly gold than I was expecting. Just a hint of purple if it is in the right light. Okay color, just not what I was looking for. My monitor shows a color with a lot of purple that is on the darkish side. In reality, it’s not. Very sheer and much lighter in color. Based on other reviews, it is obviously a nice color for some, just wasn’t what I was expecting.

Just got this beautiful color and my hairstylist commented on it! It’s my kind of copper/rose gold metallic that I think is perfect for autumn and works with any skintone! This is my top favorite for the fall season and into the winter holidays!

I love, love, love this shade. My favorite Zoya so far. It is lighter than the picture, but it just makes it more beautiful.

I’ve bought this one a few times. It’s absolutely beautiful all the time, but spectacular in the sunlight. Looks good with almost everything. Goes on easy. Wants several coats.

I get so many compliments on this color. Depending on the light, it either looks purple or gold. I have it on my toes now and actually had people approach me while in sandals asking about my color. It works all year long!!!

Disappointed, color is a brown gold

This was the very first Zoya polish I ever bought and it is my all time favorite of any polish of any brand that I have ever used ever! It is a true rose gold on my nails. The formula is that perfect Zoya formula we love. Two coats were perfect. I have never gotten so many compliments as I have when I wear this. This is the very first polish I have ever run out of and repurchased. This is the kind of color that will look good on a wide range of skin tones. It is absolutely STUNNING! You will not regret buying this one.

Pretty color. It definitely has the mauve/purple undertones. It is not as dark as the swatch on the site; it is much heavier on the gold/bronze. That is my only complaint; I would have liked more mauve/purple to show. I had to put on 2-3 coats to get complete opacity, but the formula is smooth and applies easily.

This is a nice color. Not a color I’d normally pick out. Its a penny color to me. It will make a cute accent shade. It doesn’t smell bad, dries fast. I don’t understand people saying those things about Zoya polish. First time ordering from them. Was afraid to from people saying their bottles broke but i think this brand is worth it.

I have never had a nail color so unique. It tends to take on shades of about anything that you wear. You can’t stop staring at your nails in the bright sunshine- gorgeous! If you are looking for a very purple polish this won’t do. It gives a hint of purple. It does get more purple the more coats applied. The shimmer is my favorite aspect of this nail color!

I LOVE this color on! It is so pretty and shimmery, and wears very well. I can usually get 4 days before I get obvious wearing at the tips. BUT the color is not quite what I was expecting, it’s more of rose with gold tones rather than the mauve/purple it looks like in the bottle and the swatch. But I don’t mind because I still really love the color.

I’ve just discovered Zoya polishes and am amazed by the depth of color and how it looks different in different lights. Really sparkly, so pretty.

I have gotten so many compliments from women and men with this polish. If you are only buying one, this is the one to get! It has such a unique and un-cheap glittery pieces in it that people can’t stop staring at it under the light.

This color is gorgeous. It’s not dark, it has lots of bronze in it and it goes with everything. Love it!

This polish is phenomenal. Super sparkly and the color changes between gold and purple and all shades between. I’ve already given it to 2 friends because I love it so much.

The most pronounced thing is this polish is the gold glitter. This really looks like a gold - not a purple or mauve. Very, very glittery ( not the fine micro glitter - kind of gaudy, unfortunately).

I had to buy this polish for the name alone-my best friend’s name is Faye, and it’s one you don’t hear a lot. The color itself is gorgeous. I’m a huge fan of rose gold jewelry so this is right up my alley. I haven’t found any other nail polish companies who have a glitter/foil polish quite like this. The application is great! Impressed. :)

Faye is one of those colors where you think, "no way could the stuff in the bottle be as beautiful as that color spoon." WRONG! Faye is even more gorgeous in real life. I have never seen anything quite like this color. It is simply sparkly, glittery, purpley-goldy-pinky fabulosity in a bottle! Flows well too; got to love it.

Faye is my favorite Zoya color, hands-down. A nice medium purple color with strong copper-ish undertones and lots of sparkle. I get compliments every time I wear it, too.

Faye is a really beautiful taupey-raisiny shade, heavy on the gold shimmer. From the description, I was expecting a much stronger purple base, but I’m actually quite pleased to have a deep, slightly purple-tinted antique Fall/Winter gold neutral.
As far as opacity, I think it’s between a 4 and a 5, and I actually really enjoy it with just one layer. It’s more of a gold champagne color with a single coat, then a deeper bronzey gold with two.
Faye is the Fall/Winter match to my Spring/Summer favorite neutral gold, Jules!

Dark orchid purple packed with lots and lots of gold and bronze flecks. Super shimmery and super glittery.

Honestly, I was the least excited to get Faye in the sunshine collection and I was very pleasantly surprised because it’s my favorite! The formula is the perfect mix of gold and purple. It goes on light with one coat, and perfect with 2. This color is funky but not obnoxious. I love it!

This color is beautiful! I was worried that it’d be really dark, since it looks like a deep plum and I already have some darker purples, but after three coats the effect is more of a light plum/bronze, with the gold really popping through. This color is perfect for all 4 seasons, with the gold standing out in spring and summer and the plum pulling forward in the fall and winter. I only gave it a 4 because it looks a lot darker online, but if you’re wondering what such a dark color is doing in a summer collection don’t worry and give this a try!

Another surprising and unique color! Faye, to me, is beautiful golden sparkles and shimmers with a lovely plum that stands out most in direct sunlight. Very flashy and fun.
