Zoya - Twinkling (Holiday 2019) | Swatch & Review

[@madison7645]

I've never related to anything so much in my life when you said you learned all of your words from reading and don't know how to pronounce anything. 1000% YES!

[@tippib2222]

ME TOO. I read a lot of science books and let me tell you thank goodness for the internet or I would never have figured out ctenophore on my own.

[@nailsenvacances7162]

It is so satisfying to watch you fan out the brush and do the first swipe, especially with the dark opaque colors.😍 Thank you for the amazing review, as usual.💕

[@isabellebergevin]

"And pretend that I didn't just put my finger in the polish of my pointer finger!". Lol! I love how you make mistakes and just keep going. So much more real and fun to watch. Also, it makes me feel better about my own numerous blunders while I apply polish!

[@misscboogie]

There are a few pretty polishes in there, but this doesn't say "holiday" to me at all. Beautiful swatches (as always)!!!

[@tippib2222]

My jaw slightly dropped when you started painting Alessia on your nails. I was NOT expecting that from the bottle shot. I would totally wear that as a summer pedi color.

[@pamelamajor1019]

Oh those two blues at the end. WOW!

[@dwoodw6990]

Alessia and Jen are my favorites out of the collection. Of course I always gravitate towards blues.

[@Katie_Woo]

Those two blue polishes are just stunning

[@SophiaRester]

Those two blues will be mine!

[@Felethen]

Tanya being called a red makes me really wonder if I'm colour blind. It looks eye searingly orange to me! And the first images of Tieran and Sedona look like they're a completely different colour to what they look when you apply them. Time to book an appointment with the eye doctor.

[@charleneeastman9762]

Definitely looks orange to me also

[@curateddaisies4128]

The lighting made it look orangey, but in the picture, it's red, reminds me of fifth avenue by Essie, bought that thing because I thought it reddish orange under the store lights.... But it was just red with a very tiny orange tint

[@inesbozic6344]

Sedona, Alessia and Jen are my favourites!

[@susanm9824]

Some pretty shades, but certainly not much of a “holiday “ vibe to this collection, imo.

[@lyndamccormick3783]

I ordered five of these a little while ago, they're in the mail now. Kaede, Tieran, Sedona, Alessia and Jen. If Zoya was saying I would have to order 12 for their release offer I would have skipped this release and ordered the ones I wanted in the Black Friday sale if they had it..;)

[@walkofnails2923]

Lynda McCormick Mine are on the way also. I ordered the same polishes that you did, except I got Rosa instead of Tieran.

[@nannybannany]

This collection is pretty underwhelming for me. I like Alessia and Jen. Alessia looks like sort of a glittery version of River? Not sure. But I'm a sucker for jewel tones so they're my 2 favorites!

[@shweeleigh1616]

Steph and Alessia are my faves!

[@Hiker2110]

Same!!!

[@jennw6809]

I found the display in a store in Portland and bought Jenn (since that's my name!) and bought Kaede on impulse. I was really disappointed it's SO textured! I am surprised you didn't mention this, or them -- I really think they should market it as a textured polish. On my nail wheel, I tried it as a topper and even three coats of Gelous over the top did not smooth it out. For some reason it seemed to work better on my actual nails, but you better expect texture whether you use it as a topper or on its own (especially). I agree it's quite difficult to get even as a topper.

[@janeplants7571]

So, I made my first Zoya purchase. I got the 50% off deal with the free remover (which I am now obsessed with). I purchased Jordan and wanted to see a swatch to make sure I liked the color. I went back to one of your 2017 swatch videos. It was so painful to watch you swatch with their old skinny brush. 😬 😂 So glad all the brands are going to the wider brush now. You did a great job tho! 😍

[@ruthNcouth]

Love your swatches....I do miss the white background though ☺️

[@77agm]

is that what's changed? the bottle colour looks completely different to the swatch now and her skin tone changes in every shot - i thought something was up

[@diamondinmyeye6160]

Kaede is a Japanese name. From anime I have heard it pronounced Kai-AY-Day.

[@lorenadavila5580]

Like Kikyo's little sister from Inuyasha.

[@diamondinmyeye6160]

Yep, that's who I was thinking of.

[@jessica-ri2gp]

I think it’s a fancy Katie.! It’s pretty, too. That Tanya, though! Awesome!

[@pamelakilponen3682]

Did Zoya switch to a wider brush?

[@julieanne448]

Pamela Kilponen: Zoya started offering their Z-wide brush in November of last year.😀 Costs $2, but they hold promos all the time where it’s offered free with polish being purchased.

[@pamelakilponen3682]

@@julieanne448 I need to buy a few to go with some older polishes I have. I have a bit of tremor and the wide brush helps so much to do my nails.

[@julieanne448]

@@pamelakilponen3682 I prefer the wide brush 100%! Makes the process much easier!💕

[@ashleyj0]

Perfect swatch/review, as always. Can always trust what you say it's as close as you can get to having the polish in your own hands. Gawd I really wanted to like that bumpy grey.... buuuut.... nah. Your pics show exactly what i was suspecting about that polish. 😉

[@helencb9940]

Great review Jess! I am just about to put in my order as they have just hit the European shops! You have helped me pick my favourites. Xx

[@ohellsbellso07]

Does anyone know if Zoya has a green in the same super sparkly/metallic finish as Alessia?

[@femketjeNL]

Kaede is sooo pretty 😍😍✨

[@Sweetheart2_]

I think the only colors I want are Jett and Alessia

[@ThePolishQueen]

new subbie here! I loved your video, beautiful swatches 🥰 thanks for sharing!

[@daynalefebvre6168]

Hey Jess! Thanks for awesome swatches, as always! Question- how do you keep your nails so white?!?!? Mine are so yellow, and I use base coat in every mani.

[@pinkpolly88]

Sparkle particles? Sparticles, surely?!

[@js3184]

You should join polish pickup and make some awesome limited edition Nine Zero Lacquer polishes - - that would be soooooo amazing

[@BrittMFH]

I liked Rosa best!

[@amandaplazavaldes8616]

That tanya shade OMG

[@a_bookish_gemini]

How bad of a strainer was Jen for you, Jess?

[@strawberry1025]

Jess you are THE queen of nail polish swatches just as Emily Fox is the queen of lipstick swatches. You both help me choose just the right shade, colour and consistency for me and I really trust your videos. Thank you.

[@catherinerose9669]

Have I just been shopping indies too long or have the mainstream brands just completely phoned it in this holiday season? I'm underwhelmed with ALL the collections. Alessia and Jen are pretty, but are they unique...? Meh. I'm not spending $10 to rebuy colors I already own. Maybe during the 75% off sale on Black Friday, I'll consider it.

[@janeburkhart4051]

Love your top!

[@maaikemartens6086]

Rosa and Allisia 😍😍💅💅

[@ginarose8634]

Alessia was def my favorite as well. TFS!!!

[@jilllugay7294]

Two Coats No Matter What Club - right here

[@Hakkyou13]

Mai looks nice but I bought Desiree and it gives me trust issues with Zoya.

[@zazaproductionsg4479]

Im 99 percdnt sure Kaede is a japanese name pronounced Kai-deh

[@squidzle]

I believe the word is “spartackles”. Not sparkle particles lol 🙃

[@dba82190]

Tanya look like orange to me..

[@janellehall2501]

Michelle Khan it’s her lighting. It makes all colors look A LOT brighter I’ve noticed. The pics she shows are more accurate than live swatches

[@imanistrong4054]

Honestly it's better than the holiday OPI collection but I wouldn't buy it.
