When I got the Zoya Naturel Deux collection in the other day I also received the Winstonia W-04 plate. I wanted this plate for the longest time and it was sold out, then when they restocked it a few weeks ago I decided that I really didn't need it. Jump forward to 4am the other morning and I changed my mind and finally bought it lol. And I am so happy that I did! While I was swatching Zoya Emilia (Press Sample) I just couldn't resist playing with it, and I loved the outcome.
