Swatch Saturday: Zoya Island Fun Collection

Press Sample

Good morning, readers! Zoya released their Island Fun and Paradise Sun Collections last month for Summer and I'll be showing you both this weekend! Today, the Zoya Island Fun Collection: Ready for an island vacation, these playful creams embody a tropical getaway! They are strong in color to balance the brilliance of the summer sun, with a flawless cream formula. A few weeks ago, I showed you nail art using these cremes--they work really well in nail art because they are bold and opaque. Let's take a look at full swatches!

Zoya Demetria
A vibrant poppy red in a full coverage and densely pigmented creme formula.
I'm showing two squishy, yet opaque, coats below without top coat. There is slight VNL at two coats but I was happy enough with the coverage to not add a third. 



Zoya Nana
Deep summer fuchsia in a full coverage and densely pigmented creme formula.
I'm showing two coats below without top coat. Again, there is just barely VNL at two coats.



Zoya Serenity
Summer purple in a full coverage and densely pigmented creme formula.
I'm showing two easy coats below without top coat.
This color is showing too blue from my photos, it's definitely a purple in person. Very lovely!



Zoya Talia
True turquoise in a full coverage and densely pigmented creme formula.
I'm showing two opaque coats below without top coat.
This is also showing a tad more blue-toned in my lightbox than it is in person.
This is definitely densely pigmented--so much so that my nails, skin around the nails, and fingertips on the other hand were stained during removal even with a base coat. I recommend having some baking soda to make a paste and scrub the stained areas after removal. The color is really gorgeous but you definitely needed a warning.



Zoya Cecilia
Classic teal in a full coverage and densely packed creme formula.
I'm showing two squishy, yet opaque, coats below without top coat.
As with Talia, this caused some staining issues upon removal. Not as bad as Talia, but I still had to scrub a bit with baking soda to remove the stains.



Zoya Jace
Modern tropical green in a full coverage and densely pigmented creme formula.
I'm showing three coats below without top coat.
This was the thinnest of the collection so a third coat was definitely needed to cover VNL.


What do you think of the creme side of the Zoya Summer Collections? Zoya Island Fun polishes are available now for $9 each in top salons, spas, and at Zoya.com

Thanks so much for reading!

  1. Pretty swatches! I love Serenity and Talia, but Talia's staining makes me a little hesitant to acquire her. Don't want smurf fingers that I have to scrub every time! Thank you for your honest review :)
