Swatch Sunday: Zoya Paradise Sun Collection

Press Sample

Good morning, readers! Yesterday, I showed you the creme half of the new Zoyas for Summer 2015,  The Island Fun Collection. Today, I have their shimmery metallic counterparts: The Paradise Sun Collection. Fully saturated with a gorgeous micronized metallic sheen, these shimmering beauties are much like sunshine sparkling on water. Meant to be used as an independent color, these shades feature a full-coverage, densely pigmented formula. Let's take a look!

Zoya Aphrodite

Vibrant summer red with a micronized pearl metallic finish and multi-hued flash that brings it to life.

I'm showing two coats below without top coat.

The base is squishy and the flakes glow from within it! It is my favorite of the collection.

Zoya Mae

Warm magenta pink with a micronized metallic pearl finish, reminiscent of vibrant Mediterranean flowers.

I'm showing two coats below without top coat. So pretty for summer!

Zoya Isa

Deep blue-based purple with a micronized metallic pearl finish and an aqua flash that embodies the beauty of exotic island flowers.

I'm showing two coats below without top coat. The flakes seem to shift colors at different angles to the light, you can see this in the edges of my nail in the macro shot below!

Zoya Oceane

True turquoise with a micronized metallic pearl finish that reflects the clearest blue ocean waters. 

I'm showing two coats below without top coat.

I did have some staining issues upon removal with this one so be careful and keep some baking soda on hand to scrub with a little water.

Zoya Selene

True teal with a micronized metallic pearl finish. A unique shade with an aqua fleck that resembles deeper layers of ocean water.

I'm showing two coats below without top coat.

Another with slight staining issues so be careful upon removal. Check out the color shifting flakes in my macro shot!

Zoya Genesis

Crystalline white with a micronized metallic pearl finish. Designed to look like micro-fine diamond dust!

I'm showing four coats below without top coat. There were still uneven spots at 3 coats so a forth was added to help. Beautiful base for nail art, though.

What are your thoughts on the Zoya Paradise Sun Collection? I love Aphrodite and know it will be a great pedi color for the summer. However, in all--I prefer the creme Island Fun Collection more than these metallics. It's all about personal preference so I'd love to hear yours below! Thanks so much for reading!
