Hello readers,
Today I have the Zoya Twinkling Collection for Holidays 2019 to share with you. Let's take a look at swatches.
Enza

Enza is a light almond creme. The formula was easy to work with and took two coats for full coverage. Photos show two coats of Enza with one coat of Glisten & Glow H.K. Girl top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

Kaede

![Zoya Kaede Zoya Twinkling](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48993593591_d6f34d8589_z.jpg)
Kaede features a clear base filled with small yellow gold flecks and medium silver holo shard glitters. Unfortunately the formula was awful. Even with a thicker coat it was difficult to get even coverage. The silver shards poked up all over the place after the first coat and it just got worse after the second. The result is a thick gloopy mess that took forever to dry and was still uneven after a very thick coat of top coat. I would skip this one. Photos show two coats of Kaede with one thick coat of Glisten & Glow H.K. Girl top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

![Zoya Mai Zoya Twinkling](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49000678588_ab119e9b85_z.jpg)
Mai is medium mauve pink creme. The formula was excellent and very pigmented taking two thin coats for full coverage. Photos show two coats of Mai with one coat of Glisten & Glow H.K. Girl top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

![Zoya Tanya Zoya Twinkling](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49003623927_7ba977a7f3_z.jpg)
Tanya is a vibrant red crelly. This looks like the perfect Christmas red to me. Another excellent pigmented formula that took two thin coats for full coverage. Photos show two coats of Tanya with one coat of Glisten & Glow H.K. Girl top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

![Zoya Tieran Zoya Twinkling](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49010513376_c0af9c7c98_z.jpg)
Tieran is a medium cool toned grey creme. No issues with the formula. It took two thin coats for full coverage. Photos show two coats of Tieran with one coat of Glisten & Glow H.K. Girl top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

Rosa

![Zoya Rosa Zoya Twinkling](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49010719247_2e704f85cd_z.jpg)
Rosa is a vivid fuchsia pink shimmer. It has a slight shift to orange in the bottle but I found this didn't translate to the nail. The formula was easy to work with and nicely pigmented taking two coats for full coverage. Photos show two coats of Rosa with one coat of Glisten & Glow H.K. Girl top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

Sedona
![Zoya Twinkling Collection Zoya Sedona](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49010719137_3a9180a9d8_z.jpg)
![Zoya Sedona Zoya Twinkling](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49010513981_0ce68a9fd4_z.jpg)
Sedona features a burgundy tinted base filled with a strong red to copper shifting shimmer. The formula was excellent and took two thin coats for full coverage. The end result is a rich reddish brown. Though I'm not usually a brown or red polish person, I found this shade quite appealing. Photos show two coats of Sedona with one coat of Glisten & Glow H.K. Girl top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

![Zoya Gabi Zoya Twinkling](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49010515161_b693393b89_z.jpg)
Gabi is a deep plum purple creme. No issues with the formula which was nicely pigmented and took two coats for full coverage. Photos show two coats of Gabi with one coat of Glisten & Glow H.K. Girl top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

![Zoya Jen Zoya Twinkling](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49010720167_3b71dac766_z.jpg)
Jen is a sapphire blue. The formula was excellent and took two thin coats for full coverage. Just a heads up that I did experience a little cuticle staining when I removed it, but it when away within a few hours. Photos show two coats of Jen with one coat of Glisten & Glow H.K. Girl top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

Jett
![Zoya Twinkling Collection Zoya Jett](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49010514911_137edc78f6_z.jpg)
![Zoya Jett Zoya Twinkling](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49009978688_77e38b3a4a_z.jpg)
Jett features a frosty silver based filled with tiny silver glitters and medium to large silver flakes. To my eyes, the flakes didn't quite mesh with the rest of the finish and the overall look didn't seem very cohesive. The formula wasn't great either. I found the larger silver flakes tended to clump together when brushed on, and the corners didn't lay flat on my curved nail beds. Photos show two coats of Jett with one coat of Glisten & Glow H.K. Girl top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

Alessia is an aqua blue foiled flecked shimmer. The formula was excellent and took two thin coats for full coverage. Photos show two coats of Alessia with one coat of Glisten & Glow H.K. Girl top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

Final Thoughts
My personal favorites from this release are Tieran, Sedona, Alessia and Jen. I would skip Kaede and Jett based on the formulas. The remaining shades are quite nice if you don't already have something similar in your collection. The Zoya Twinkling Collection is available now. You can find Zoya on
Happy polishing,
Michelle
I am surprised Zoya did not include any green polishes since it is a holiday collection! The only one of this collection that interests me is Sedona -- not a blue or silver lover. Jett looks like a real mess, grandchild of Essie's horror Belugaria from a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't noticed the lack of green, but now that you mention it I think it would have made a nice addition.Sedon is quite pretty. The shimmer has such depth to it. Personally I love blue polish so the two blue shimmers were some of my favorite.
DeleteNice collection, loving the blues. What on earth is going on with Jett?
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly.
