Zoya Jubilee Holiday 2018 Collection

Press Sample

Hello there and Happy Monday! :) I hope your week is off to a great start. I am super excited about todays blog post because I have swatches for you of the brand new Zoya Nail Polish Jubilee Holiday Collection. Which consists of a total of 12 new polishes and some of them are super unique. Like for instance there are 2 new Pixie Dusts, and a special effect topper! So enough chit chat, lets get to the swatches.

Cookie

2 Coats

A purple PixieDust with gold flecks.

Starting off with a Pixie Dust! Cookie here is a beauty, and actually a bit more textured than some of my older Pixies but in a good way for reasons you will see later on! :)

This has a great coverage just one to two coats needed. It has a lovely sparkle too! I love the golden ones that tend to sit on your nail and not create the texture like the purple glitters do and it makes for a great sparkle.

Chiara

2 Coats

A deep purple cream.

Zoya does cremes so well and this one is just like the rest. Perfect formula, even application and such a nice shade of a rich purple.

Kateri

2 Coats

A midnight brown cream.

Real quick just a heads up, this collection is super consistent so I am going to sound repetitive as we move through this full collection! This brown was super nice and a very deeply pigmented polish.

Juniper

2 Coats

A sparkling teal textured PixieDust shade.

Juniper, a lovely deep teal Pixie with a neat blue/purple shimmer. This one was a nice formula and covered well.

For some reason these deep teals tend to stain on me so I doubled up on my base coat and was prepared. However after wearing it with my double base coat for 24 hours I removed it and was sadly left with a icky stain.  I ended up being able to clean it up with some extra work of a light buffing, a scrub and some tooth paste but still was kind of a pain to clean up.

Anywhooo as you know you can of course wear this with a top coat but to get it to be 100% smooth you will probably need about 2 coats of top coat.

It really makes it pretty but I think I actually prefer it with out for the intended effect! What about you.

Danica

2 Coats

A rich deep teal cream.

Another fabulous creme with a great formula. I can't attest for if this stains or not but for the most part I can't see any signs of it, however these type of teals tend to stain so I would be a bit hesitant.

Astrid

2 Coats

A gold foil.

Astrid is a beauty and I love it. I wasn't sure at first if I would but honestly I do! It has a great formula and covers so well! If you want you can use one coat of it on something as a majorly intense topper. Or of course you can build it up nicely in 2 coats as I did here.

Its quite foil-y looking and is so festive for the holiday season.

I took too many photos of it kinda sooooo....

Leigh

2 Coats

A  rich and warm cream with a peachy undertone.

This is a very nice neutral polish and has a really nice formula. Its one of those polishes tho that may not work on everyone because it is a peachy/yellow toned neutral. So you might want to see this one in person if you get a chance before purchasing.

Here it is with one coat of Astrid as an accent nail and it does look really nice together.

 Carson

2 Coats

A  muted nude pink cream with a mauve undertone.

Carson here has a great formula and a bit more mauve/pink toned which makes for a cozy neutral that I really liked.

 Allison

2 Coats

A plum-toned ruby cream.

Allison is such a nice berry toned color. Its got a really nice formula and it is super pigmented. Its funny looking at the photos because the first one looks much darker but it just shows really how it looks because in different lighting it real life. Not that photos aren't real life but you know what I mean! Ha!

Maxine

2 Coats

A rich vibrant red cream with a slight pink undertone.

Maxine is another really pigmented polish and and its such a bold shade. It again looks different in each photo and thats because one is under a light while the other the lights are facing towards the nails. I think this actually really helped to see both different takes of the polish on the nail because really it is what you would see in real life.

Taryn

2 Coats

A fiery fuchsia micro-iridescent shimmer with blue undertones.

Taryn is so pretty and something about this polish just reminds me of a pretty party dress. It reminds me of something specific but I can't put my finger on it.

It has such a nice formula and looks so lovely on the nails. It has a really nice purple shimmer that also has a bit of a blue glow. 

Now lets talk about the new special effect topper in this collection. First off its called the Leopard Spots Topper. Its meant to be used on top of a textured polish so in this case its ideal to go on top of a Pixie Dust polish. To apply it you want to do a thin coat over your whole nail rather quickly and then watch that magic happen. It then dries and retracts on the nail and turns into lil leopard spots.

Its really neat and so reminiscent of crackle nail polish which is kinda super fun! So now you are probably thinking, does it work on normal polishes, and I have the answers and actually put it all in the swatch video. So here is a little overview. In the video I show it to you 3 different ways, one on this super textured polish, then one on a less textured Pixie dust, and then one on normal polish. Of course on the super textured polish as you are seeing here it works super well! On the less textured but still textured Pixie, Godiva, it worked well, it has bigger spots tho. Then on the normal polish it acted a lil more like crackle in big spots but it kinda pulls the base polish under it with it and causes the polish to almost "buckle" for lack of a better term.

Of course you can always wear this with a top coat as I did here, and it looks good in person but doesn't photo well if you are wanting to show the detail of the spots.

Now here it is on top of Juniper, which looks really neat too!

Well that is a wrap! You have now officially seen the full Zoya Holiday 2018 Jubilee Collection! What one if your favorite, are you liking the Leopard spots topper, and the new Pixies? I think the topper is neat and its exciting to see it come out and I'm excited to see what people do with it.

WATCH NOW
