Zoya Urban Grunge Cremes Comparison Part 3: The Final Chapter

(Press samples and affiliate links ahead!)

Hello!


I'm back with our final installment of comparisons with Zoya Urban Grunge Cremes--not to spoil it for you, but again we're not going to have anything close to a dupe, but I picked the closest Zoya cremes in my collection to show you in case it helps you decide which color or colors you need.


We'll start today with Zoya Courtney, the Oxblood creme from the Urban Grunge Cremes (here's my review if you missed it)--I don't have anything really like it in my collection, and the two closest Zoyas I have are Pepper, a brick red, and Rekha, a blood red. Let's take a look at how they match up:

Zoya Courtney, Pepper, and Rekha

Zoya Courtney, Pepper, and Rekha

These are all fairly distinct, even from dark reds, but if you're wondering exactly how dark you want to go or how vampy each are, this will give you an idea. Pepper is definitely vampy, but in a warm brown-red sort of way; Rekha is a more traditional blood red.


And last but not least in the cremes of the collection, we have Zoya Wyatt; the closest in my personal stash was Zoya Hunter:

Zoya Wyatt vs. Zoya Hunter

Zoya Wyatt vs. Zoya Hunter

Again fairly different--Hunter is a deeper forest green, and while Wyatt is dark, it has a titch of blue to it and is more of a kelly green (although not quite a pure one).


So, none of these are dupes, and you can definitely justify buying all of them--I'm glad I have them all for different moods/nail art. But, if you're only looking to buy one of the target color, hopefully this can help you narrow down which suits your needs.


Stay tuned for comparisons with the metallics and holos from the Urban Grunge collection!


Happy polishing,
