Press Sample
Happy Monday after Thanksgiving. I feel like I'm still full. I cooked everything but the turkey, but honestly, it was like I cooked for 40 haha. Then there's Friday--I don't ever go out for morning shopping. I usually go out around 1pm and find they have the same deals that people did at 4am, so yea. Anyway, I feel like it's officially holiday season so I'll have a bunch of holiday collections. Let's start with Zoya Jubilee!

Leigh: 2 coats. Let's start with the lightest and most neutral color. I love colors like this for nail art. I think this one will look better on someone with less yellow undertones. I think it really pulled out my yellow. But imagine this with Astrid (gold) tips? So it'll get used!

Maxine: 2 coats. Even though I have a billion red polishes, something about this one is really nice. It's a balanced red. Not too dark, not to bright. I think it will look pretty on most skin tones.

Carson: 2 coats. I can't decide which of the neutrals I like more. This one might be a tad more flattering on my skin tone, but I normally don't care. I wear what I want! This one is a pinky beige and I think that's what works with me. Great coverage for a color like this.

Taryn: 2 coats. This is one of those fuchsia colors with blue shimmers. It's been seen a million times and it's sort of 90s to me haha. If I didn't own 40 of these already, I would be down. I guess it's a nice sparkly shimmer for the holidays.

Chiara: 2 coats. This is a nice purple-toned creme. I feel like the blue undertones will show depending on your skintone. It's sort of in between on me. Another rich formula.

Allison: 2 coats. There can't be a winter collection without a deep pink color and so that's what Allison is for! It's a plum pink and nice and deep for the winter.

Kateri: 2 coats. I do love these types of browns. Zoya calls this a midnight brown--what a perfect description. I think this will stamp because of the coverage. I will mention that I feel like lately, Zoyas formulas have been so rich lately, that most will stamp!

Danica: 2 coats. This is a full coverage deepened teal creme. It's so rich. I definitely think it will stamp. Also be careful with removal. I wore it for a very short time and had stains on my nails and cuticles. Definitely double up on base coat.

Astrid: 3 coats. This is very much my favorite of the collection. Gold polish is a favorite of mine and I'm glad to see Zoya give me another one. They call it a liquid gold foil and they are right. It's like 24 Karat on my nails. Two coats will be sufficient on shorter nails. I really love this finish.

Cookie: 2 coats, dried down for a few minutes. YAY PIXIES. I'll admit, when textured polishes first came out, I needed all of them. Seriously. Just look at my blog in 2012 haha. SO many textures. I hate to say I haven't really reached for them in a looong time and this was a nice reminder that I need to. This is my favorite of the two. I think the addition of gold flakes makes this really lovely.

Juniper: 2 coats. This is the second Pixie Dust polish of the collection. It's a teal but there's a bit of purple and emerald shimmer. I didn't experience any staining, so that's nice. I think this is really pretty for the holidays.

Leopard Spots: 1 coat over Cookie and Juniper. So let's call this what it is: shatter/crackle. I can remember in 2011, calling a local salon at college asking if they had it and once they got it, my roommate and I immediately drove over and bought the only 2! But this one is meant for texture polishes. I put one coat over the two Pixie Dusts in the collection and let it do its job.

I feel like Zoya finally listened to me (lol, or ALL of us) and finally offered some variety. I was so tired of full collections of pinks, purples, and reds. Astrid is my absolute standout favorite, and I'm hoping they give us a full collection in that finish! I also liked Carson and Cookie.

I LOVE Leopard Spots over Cookie. I remember buying the entire lot of OPI Shatter Polishes when they came out, and they all dried up eventually. This one is perfect over textured polish.
ReplyDeleteI totally bought them in every color too! I think I only have the black left but mine was also totally dried up. I think I tried to thin it and it messed with the formula.
DeleteMan, I haven’t used a crackle or liquid sand-like polish since, like you said, 2012! Had forgotten about them!
ReplyDeleteYup. I sort of laughed that they brought it back, but if you weren't into nail polish in 2011, then this is exciting!
DeleteI am so glad to see more colour variety with this collection! As much as I love a good red, it's good to see the return of teal to the brand lineup! Here's hoping they keep it up and have an awesome orange or two with spring and summer!
ReplyDeleteAgree! I got bored of typing how bored I was with the pinks, purples, and reds. I need variety! I want oranges and yellows and greens! GIVE ME!
DeleteI love all esp Taryn and Chiara
ReplyDeleteI heart his collection and Leopard Spots is awesome!
ReplyDeleteChiara and Allison are the ones I like best. I'll have to see about wearing those.
ReplyDeleteI was planning to get Carson, but I got Morgan Taylor's Hollywood's Sweetheart that looks awfully close. I also was planning to pick up Allison on Cyber Monday/today because of course, but I bought 4 quads on Friday, and it doesn't seem worth it to buy one polish and pay $6.95 shipping :(
ReplyDeleteI’ll be posting the MT on Wednesday. Sweetheart is more pink and I think, more universally flattering. Booo that their shipping is 6.95!
DeleteMaxine is a really beautiful classic red. I like it!!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually surprised at how much a like Taryn!
ReplyDeleteI so love Astrid and I don’t like golds! Stunning polish!!
ReplyDeleteI love all of this collection but Cookie and Juniper are my favorites.
