I love this polish!!! But it needed some tweaking before I could use it. I diluted it with my Zoya Renew and I used the Essie Matte About You over, then finished it off with quick dry drying oil and and it's lasted me all week. It's a really pretty gunmetal gray with sparkles and it's just as beautiful with a traditional glossy topcoat as it is matte. This is my new favorite Fall nail color. I can see myself wearing this for a very long time.
Pro's
Goes on smooth
Dries Fast
Opaue
Looks good on short nails
Manicure last forever (tweaking)
Con's
Originally too thick
EDIT (8/9/12) I've changed my rating because this polish does not last as long some of the other Zoya polishes I've used in the past. No matter what base/top coat I use, it still chips. The color is still nice and all, but the manicure just doesn't last very long.

This is my new favourite nail polish for sure. I was a bit worried after reading these reviews, but for some reason, I had a much better experience with it. I used a base coat, but no topcoat since it's a matte polish, and so far it has been on for 4 days and looks exactly the same as it did after I put it on. This is saying a lot, since I'm a compulsive hand-washer.

You guys can't possibly understand how amazed I am. Manicures never last this long for me.

EDIT: I got tired of the matte and put a topcoat over the Loredana, and now it's this gorgeous grey with what seems to be purple and blue shimmer. I looooovvvvee this polish.

Loredana is a matte gunmetal grey.
Con: it chips easily, even under the best circumstances.
Pro: it applies smoothly and opaquely in just one coat and dries almost immediately.
While the chipping is a bit irritating, I find the opacity and quick dry time to be worth the hassle. I love that I can just brush it on and go. Also, I like to change my nails often, so it's not a big deal to me if a mani only lasts a day or two.

This nail polish went on smoothly for me & I liked the fact that it dried so quickly but I didn't like the fact that it took three coats to get a decent color pay-off which wasn't a matte gray; I can only describe it as the color of lead. It also does chip very easily.

Okay, I'm officially giving up matte polishes, and switching to matte top coats. This is the grey matte color in Zoya's matte collection. I didn't have high hopes for it because the application was a mess. It was goopy and tacky because it dried so fast. I mean, you could actually see it drying in seconds, but somehow it corrected itself and was pretty smooth when I was done, and I only needed one coat. However, within the hour it was chipping off, and it wasn't like I was doing dishes or trying to open new DVDs. I guess it's the nature of the beast. Every matte polish I've ever used chipped like crazy. I'm going to pick up a bottle of Essie's Matte About You and use that instead. Hopefully it's better than Orly's Matte Top which was pretty lame.
