Swatch with me // Zoya Earth Day Haul Part 1 // Make Swatch Sticks with me

[@Luvs2read33]

Great swatches. I also only do two coats on swatch sticks, mainly because I could never remember how many swatches it took. I love jellies but not for jelly sandwiches. I use them as toppers for polishes that turn out to not work well with my skin tone. I discovered this when I had painted my nails peach but it looked horrible on me. I had a holographic topper in a pink jelly base. It gave the peach a hint of coral and I got compliments from complete strangers on my mani.

Luvs2read33 what are jelly sandwiches?

[@Luvs2read33]

Angie Ray Jelly Sandwiches is where you sandwich a glitter polish between two coats of a jelly or sheer polish. It’s similar to a pond manicure which sandwiches nail art between layers of a jelly polish.

[@OliveAvePolish]

Smart use of a jelly! Just to change the color a little- that's so smart :)

[@motherendurance]

Your swatches are always so helpful! Emilia really rocked my world, it's a new must-have. Thank you!

[@OliveAvePolish]

So glad you enjoyed! Emilia is really nice :)

[@msrosie3480]

First, who is that evil villain who gave you a thumbs down, shame on them. But yes, I was waiting for this one. I have Tracie and I haven’t wore it yet but it’s so pretty. I also have Juvia. I swatched mine on a white nail wheel and it still took 3 coats but Zoya’s website suggests wearing Juvia, Mirajane and other brights over a white like Purity or Snow White. And I’ve been wanting a brown or two so glad those were included. Thanks for being thorough as always.

[@OliveAvePolish]

I laughed out loud when I read this - thank you ❤❤ Everyone has their preferences! I'm looking forward to trying the neons and I'll definitely do them over white and on their own. Glad to hear white worked for you even if it still took 3 coats!

[@isabellebergevin]

I thought that I already loved swatching a little bit too much. Now it seems that I also enjoy seeing other people making their own swatch sticks, lol!

[@OliveAvePolish]

Lol I'm so glad! I love making these sticks- so meditative and each one is like a little discovery :) glad you enjoyed!

[@whitefluffydogs9278]

i really like Flynn. such a classy color.

[@Viki-106]

This was such a fun video. I loved it! Love watching you do this. 😁😁😁 Thanks Walker!

[@OliveAvePolish]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I have quite a backlog being without my supplies for so long so... there are more coming :)

[@Viki-106]

@@OliveAvePolish Yay! I can't wait! 😊😊😊😊

[@helencb9940]

Great video Walker! I love watching you swatch all your new Zoyas! I was really interested to see Tangy and Tracie swatched as they are older polishes and you don't hear as much about them. I am also interested in seeing Flynn and Spencer, because I am looking for a camel colour! I also own Lacey but I have yet to wear it! My mam actually wore it and loved it! She is a green lover and I think it was Jessface90's favourite from that Spring collection. I think it will all depend on how it goes with individual skin tones! :)

[@OliveAvePolish]

Totally! I'm curious to see how it looks on my nails and liked it more on the stick than in the bottle! Thanks for watching!

[@theresazubia]

Flynn is really nice. I wore it last week. The color reminds me of peanut butter - but on the nail, it looks like a beautiful sandy color.

[@OliveAvePolish]

Totally! Peanut butter is a great description! Thanks for watching

[@OriginalAcefanatic]

I love Tinsley! I love colors like that with the gold shimmer.

[@OliveAvePolish]

Same! I was so pleasantly surprised by Tinsley. Even prettier than I thought!

[@rampam5977]

I am definitely a cream girl too! Love Jolene and Brynn.🌸

[@OliveAvePolish]

Same here! I'm excited to get more pinks on this summer.

[@wandas673]

Great video TFS!! Not a fan of jelly polishes on myself but I do love them on other people🤷🏻‍♀️ Can’t stop thinking about Farah & Flynn! (never “really” noticed them) Hopefully for the next sale👍🏼! Emilia & Louise are gorgeous but I do have a few browns in my stash (from other brands).

[@OliveAvePolish]

Glad to help showcase a few others you might like! I'm really excited to get Flynn on the nails for sure!

[@Gavrielle_Am_Yisrael_Chai]

Out of these polishes, the brown one named "Emilia" was my absolute favorite! Just went on my must have list! Might have to order "Dillion" too. Thanks for doing these videos as they really help me decide which ones will look good on me.

[@OliveAvePolish]

So glad you found it helpful! The browns were really exciting to add to my collection this time around :)

[@das_ein]

I've had Frieda for a while and love it (I love most jellies). I don't do anything special with them, I just love anything that's translucent. In the 80's, I loved jelly shoes and bracelets, so I just have a soft spot for this look. This was such a nice set all together. Thanks for the swatches!

[@cami-mani]

Dillon makes me wish I was at the beach, it's very pretty! I love creme polishes most but do enjoy glitters, sometimes, especially in crelly polishes and I love pink, purple and blue polishes most, I think!

[@OliveAvePolish]

Dillon is totally a beach polish!! Thanks for watching!

[@cat_623]

Hi Walker! I love this kind of video (all your videos, really!)!! I appreciate when you hold the completed swatch stick up to your hand/skin so we can see what the polish looks like against some warmth and color... of course, they are pretty when laid out on a white background, but when painted onto the nail, the colors are going to look different just because of skintone. You made some great picks here! And, I also admire jelly polishes and jelly sandwiches on other people, but not so much on myself for some reason.

[@OliveAvePolish]

Glad to hear you found that helpful! I'll try to remember that for my next swatch with me :)

[@Nenezilla]

I"m surprised but I actually like the brown ones. Thank you for your video!

[@OliveAvePolish]

I'm glad! There are some really pretty browns in Zoya's collection for sure!

[@rachelmakrucki3172]

I love all the browns and Tinsley. I don't really wear alot of pink, but there's something about a pink with gold shimmers or glitters that make me swoon.

[@OliveAvePolish]

Tinsley made me swoon too! Much prettier than I expected. Thank you for watching!

[@asdabir]

Ok this is random but you sound like Pam Beesly from the office. Also I just found you and have been binging your videos :)

[@kayannaottaway3381]

I was wondering if you know a sky color either blue or blue gray with the same finish of Tracie. I love Tracie in spring. It looks like dew on the grass beautiful glow. I’ve been looking for its blue sister. I think I looking like the sky with clouds or that mist that sometimes happens.

[@Lu.G.]

So fun! I'm not a huge fan of green polish on me (mostly because I tend to get _lobster_ hands), but I *love* Tracie!!

[@OliveAvePolish]

So glad to hear that! Several people said they love it so I'm moving it up to the front of the line to get worn. I love green so I'm sure I'll love it :)

[@myaynnies8573]

I have Flynn and love it! And now I want to add Dea.

[@OliveAvePolish]

Both are such pretty browns! Dea is a really interesting one - not what I expected! Thanks for watching!

[@cambrojoes]

I love flynn, dillon, and brenna!

[@OliveAvePolish]

Flynn is a really gorgeous one! Thank you for watching

[@Cantrelate1998]

would you say that Kerry is the non-textured version of solange? the shade of yellow gold looks almost identical

[@OliveAvePolish]

They do look super close! Definitely in the same range of yellow gold.

[@Cantrelate1998]

thanks for responding😊

[@wocnails]

Love Mosheen on top of Robin. My Dot looks like a baby pastel pink.

[@OliveAvePolish]

I'm hearing that my dot looks different from others. So strange! I'm going to do some more investigating and see if on my nails it pulls more pink. Sheer-er polishes are so much harder to gauge on the swatch stick.

[@restoredbypolish4591]

I have Vickie, Libby, and Princess..all jellies from a set. I really like them. They have a “squishy” feel but still opaque. I wish Zoya would do a few more! TFS!

[@lindarichardson9230]

Hi Walker, I have Lacey, I think it looks more green on the nail 🤗🤗🤗

[@OliveAvePolish]

Great! I'm looking forward to trying it out soon!

[@rachelcorinne3131]

Your dot looks so different than mine. Mine is more of a baby pink.

[@OliveAvePolish]

I'm going to try swatching it later this week to see if it looks more pink on the nail. Sometimes the swatch stick is hard with less opaque polishes!

[@rachelcorinne3131]

Olive Ave Nails that’s the other thing that is weird. My dot is super opaque. It isn’t sheer at all. I wonder if they changed the formula from the one i had.

[@rachelcorinne3131]

*have

[@kimmatura3564]

I wish Mosheen would have looked like it did in the bottle. More like Kerry, fuller coverage glitter.

[@OliveAvePolish]

I agree! I'm sure there's something fun I can do with it but I haven't quite figured it out yet :)
