Press Sample
It has been a little quiet on the Zoya front. Just saying, but where was the June 2025, July 2025, August 2025, and September 2025 Color of the Month? They actually never do a June color and what a bummer. I just think if you are going to say you are doing a color of the month, then do it! They did just announce a fall collection. But this summer collection...well it is mostly repackaged colors, so let's check it out.
There are five new colors in this collection, which I have added ** to. The other 7 are re-releases and because there’s nothing different from these old polishes with the new ones, I have swatched using my older bottles and linked my previous reviews. Just as a mention that the new bottles have a different batch number from the old bottles, obviously, but they looked identical, and therefore, I did not feel the need to swatch the new bottles against the old bottles.
Candy: 2 coats plus top coat. Candy-pink pastel neon cream. This is such a bright and fun pink. I think what makes it stand out is that "white pink" that they call it because the formula is excellent. I noticed that this description does not include the term white pink anymore, but I think it’s still stands. This was a previous color of the month, so it’s nice that people get an opportunity to grab this one again if they missed it the first round. Here is my original post on Zoya Candy.
Yohanna: 2 coats. Ultra-bright knockout pink. Knockout pink is the most perfect description of this color. It is super hot, neon pink, and there are no qualms about it. Great formula. This is the third release of Yohanna, if you’re keeping count. Here is my original post of Zoya Beachy Brights 2.
Loni: 3 coats plus top coat. Juicy melon coral cream. I do prefer this over Yohanna just because I like the orange tones of it and I feel like it is a little more wearable for me. That being said, I love both these colors and the formulas are spot on. This one is just so pretty. While I love this color, it is the third re-release of it and I simply do not need three bottles of this polish. Here is my original post of Zoya Beachy Brights 2.
Bohdi: 3 coats plus top coat. Creamsicle orange cream. They changed the description of this, but it used to be a Portland Orange. I found that to be a whimsical description. I had to Google what Portland Orange is because I frankly had no idea. Turns out it is the light color of the don’t walk signs in the United States and Canada. Who knew? I always thought that was red but Google showed me I was wrong. Either way I love this color and it is a total winner for me. This color has more of a jelly texture so it is a bit thinner, but if you have short nails, two coats will be enough. This is only the second release of this color and I do love it so if you didn’t grab it last time then definitely get it now. Here is my original post of Zoya Beachy Brights 2.
Paisley: 2 coats. Wisteria violet pastel neon cream. This was another color of the month so if you didn’t grab it, at least you get an extra chance to do it. I did love this color so here is my old review. This has an amazing formula and I really hope that Zoya goes back to some of their old neon greens and yellow, and re-formulates them to have this amazing formula. I am just really impressed. I also love this shade of purple. I don’t normally enjoy purple on my toes, but this is a color I can totally see myself putting on my toes. Because of the neon aspect of it, it drives a bit matte so add some topcoat to make it shine. Here is my original post on Zoya Paisley.
Brinkley: 3 coats. Ultra-bright violet magenta cream. They changed the description of this one as it used to be called raspberry and it no longer is. This one is really pretty and it looks like there is the slightest hint of shimmer, but it doesn’t really show up on the nail. Here is my original post of Zoya Beachy Brights 2.
Capri*: 2 coats plus top coat. Sea foam green cream. I have been using this quite a bit for nail art lately so it’s a great color and a great addition to the Zoya family. There are some blue undertones, so it’s almost like a teal but pulls just enough green on me. I really like this color.
Boo*: 2 coats plus top coat. Serene Carolina blue cream. This is definitely a serene and soft color and would be gorgeous as a pedicure. Well, I love neon pedicures this type of blue is also beautiful. It’s very calming.
Sunday*: 3 coats. Vivid rose with a blue reflect shimmer. This reminds me of my namesake polish at Zoya, which is long discontinued so I will definitely do a comparison. I did three coats because my nails are slightly long, but I don’t think it made a difference after two coats so two coats is really all you need for this shimmery pink. It’s not my color that I would wear on my nails, but obviously I bought the other one because it’s my name, but I will definitely use it for nail art.
Tiggy*: 3 coats. Ripe watermelon with gold shimmer. This is a fun departure from Zoya as it’s a bright pink with a gold shimmer and I really like the way it looks. That being said I do have an indie that is extremely close to this color so it’s not that original but it is original for Zoya. I am digging the shade of pink as well.
Mindi*: 2 coats. Crimson lava summer red with subtle blue reflect. The blue shimmer is so evident in the bottle but completely disappears on the nail. So if you’re buying this, buy it for the red shade. These types of reds are never opaque on me so I always stop at two coats because it won’t matter. It’s a nice red, just not something I would wear on its own in my collection.
Vita: 3 coats. Hot reflective pink with a shimmering holo finish. Holy Barbie pink! This one is such a bright pop of fun. It is also super sparkly and such a fun summer color. Great formula and surprisingly not sheer. Here is my original post of Zoya Beachy Brights 2.
I might do comparisons with the new colors, but I’ve already done comparisons with the old colors over a year ago and I will link those when I post the others. While I do love some of the new additions, this collection was so pink and red heavy that I am frankly bored. I do understand it has mass appeal towards salon owners, and that is probably their bigger customer, but there was literally two out of 12 colors that went outside of the box.
