Ziv and trixie I have and love. No brush strokes. It's more like brushed gold or brushed silver.Makes a perfect accent nail. Love the gold for when I'm wearing gold jewelry and the silver when I wear silver.
I have Amy and Trixie. I also want Leslie. Tomoko becomes more gold and sparkly after a day of wearing it. My Purity is a little thick and was since I bought it so I’m going to get Snow White for French manicures
Leslie's formula surprised me because I thought it would be super sheer, but it was a good two-coater for me.Thanks for sharing your list, I added a few to my own list now hehe!
I have both Wednesday and Tilda. I love both as green is one of my favorite polishes to wear. Wednesday is like a muted green-blue which look very classy on the nail. Tilda is a grass green that is right up my alley.
Hi Heather! I have Brighton and I enjoy it. It wears really well. I have two very small chips after five days of wear. The color is subtle enough that the chips are really hard to see. The color is a nude leaning beige. For me I would like it to be a little more gray but I have an ILNP that fits that bill.
Thx for the video. I really enjoyed it. I have some of those same polishes on my wishlist also. I received Brighton in my mystery box. Still not sure if I like it that much. My friend loves it. I'm not so sure. I need a suggestion for a good white to wear under my neons in the summer. If you could suggest something?
Great video Heather. I really enjoyed this, I love talking about Zoya! With regards to Ziv and Trixie, I never picked them up because I don't wear gold or silver very often and I have those colours in different brands, same with Snow White and Purity, I do own Brittany, and it is a very greyed out pink, so therefore I think it is different to both Jill and Rue and by the looks of it Mia is more warmer of a pink, more obviously a pink, I think. I do like Brittany especially for Autumn, Spring and Winter but it is very muted. I own Lorna too and it is a beautiful winter berry colour, it looks a lot less red and more purple plum than Noir. I don't own any others that you mentioned, but I have ordered Brighton and I am really excited to see it in person. I would prefer it over the pixie dusts as it is not difficult to remove! Also I think Wednesday is not a mint, even though I don't own it, I think it is more turquoise and I know it is very popular along with Leslie and Caitlin. I agree with you about Tilda and Aimee I wouldn't wear orange or that shade of green often, but they are always good to have in your collection! I have also ordered Avril from the Bridal Bliss collection, that seems to be everyone's favourite. Do you own that one? I can't wait to see it in person!
I don't own Avril, but I agree, after the Bridal Bliss reviews, I think I may end up picking that one up as well. The other one I also failed to mention in this video is Waverly. I will definitely be picking that one up next time. Thanks for your thoughts! I have a feeling a lot of these will end up in my collection sooner or later! :p
Great video 😃 I highly recommend the Zoya Pinterest page as they have a colour comparison section, if you want I can do you some comparisons from my stash, Tilda stamps! And she is awesome on the nails 😃😃
I do browse those comparisons pics on Pinterest from time to time. I wish they would update them more...seems like they only do them when a new collection comes out. That is awesome that she stamps. I always want to try and stamp with my Zoyas but am always worried they won't work and then I will have wasted a bunch of time trying to finish my manicure!
Heather D Any time í buy new Zoya and having swatched it, if it's an almost or one coater they generally are good for stamping, the whole spring collection from last year stamp as do Ziv and Trixie 😃 Leslie I've just worn and she was so pretty 😍
I love Ziv and Trixie, both are the best I have ever tried. Britany is one of my favorites, Rue is darker and I love the Satins, Brighton looks a lot like Godiva, but hola, and I haven't tried it yet.
Great video! Was curious about what your thoughts and findings concerning the comparisons of Zoya and A England at distance they look very close which do you like better?
They are slightly different. Would most people need both? Probably not, but if you love purples I would say there is enough of a distinction. If you have IG, you can send me a DM and I will show you the pics I took if you are interested.
Do you ever look up the polished on Instagram? I have a zoya wishlist as long as yours and I find that looking at picture people put on Instagram helps me decide if I’ll like it or not.
I do, usually right before I make an order from Zoya so I can make sure the color is what I think it is! "Real" people swatches are always way better to look at to get a better idea of what the polish looks like in everyday life.
Hi Heather. So, I have ZiV and Trixie, but they live on the shelf. I have tan skin and gold looks good in me, but when I tried Ziv, I just took it off. Thought it looked cheap. Trixie is ok, but I gravitate towards gun-metals when I want metallic grey. I like white manis in the summer, but I use pretty serious presence or OPI my boyfriend scales walls, I cannoli wear OPI (dupes of each other) or indies with specks and stuff. Tilda is beautiful, but again, it looks good on my skin tone. I have Dara which looks like a pixie of amy ( maybe), pretty in the summer, kinda garish though. Wednesday looks like a vibrant aqua in pics (also in bottle)I've seen, but it's actually quite grayish when swatched. It's a dusty version of OPI my dogsled, which is the closest shade I own. Brighton is on my list, but I will probably skip it because I have similar pixies too and I don't need it. I wear tan and cream nudes, so I can't speak to those. You should get a P.O.box. I would gladly send you Coco. It wasn't what I expected and I won't wear it. It's a white based mulberry. That's my 2 cents.😊
I think I will be more happy with an "off-white" than a pure white I think. I have I Cannoli Wear OPI. I think I also wanna grab My Boyfriend Scales Walls, as well as that pink-y one that came out in the Lisbon collection. This was helpful! Thank you!. I'll take Coco if you don't want it. I don't have a P.O. Box at the moment but I may want to consider it. If you are on IG, I can DM you. If not, you can email me and we can figure something out! :)
I have ziv and trixie. As nice as they are it doesnt sound like you need them. I use sally hansen insta dri in silver sweep and go for gold for stamping. They work great. I only use those colors for stamping. My zoya ziv and trixie just doesnt get used.
I have Coco. It is pretty, but the image on Zoya's website definitely leans more pinkish than the polish did on my nails. I was sort of surprised and disappointed that it had more brown than I wanted. Unfortunately, I don't have anything in my Zoya collection that it compares to, so no help there. If you get it, I hope you end up liking it!
I love Zoya Wednesday. It reminds me of OPI My Dog Sled is a Hybrid, which I do have. I just brought up some swatches of it and I also can't figure out what type of green it is. I was gonna say, sage but it's brighter than that. Maybe it's a sage/mint sort of hybrid but it also has a brightness to it. Since you don't really wear greens I'm not sure if you were wanting something like that but it's gorgeous. If I didn't already have the OPI I would add it to my list. After seeing Brighton and hemming and hawing I'm finally adding it to my list. I hesitated because I have all of the holographics from Zoya and I haven't even worn half of them yet, but Brighton is so pretty I know I'll regret it if I pass it up. I was in Ulta the other day and I bought Presley and Leia, both of which were sitting in my Zoya bag but I couldn't wait for the next sale, I had to get them. I also saw Joni there. Joni has been going in and out of my bag since I first saw it but like you I just can't figure out certain colors based on the swatches. I want the color that Zoya describes, which is a plum/mauve if I'm remembering correctly but most of the online swatches look too red. You have that don't you? Do you think it will lean plummy mauve on me or that bricky reddish color on line? Our skin tones are similar. Sorry this is so long but once I start chatting about Zoya I can't stop.
Joni, to me, is definitely more mauve than red. I think I have a swatch of it on my IG page if you want to check it out. I would recommend it, especially if you like Presley. It's along the same lines as Presley, just a tad more purple and darker. I know I will regret not ordering Brighton. I also have a bunch of the holographics.....Tomoko, Godiva and Bar and although I don't wear them a lot, I still love them. I usually use them as accent nails. Brighton looks much more wearable if that makes sense. I need to look at my teal-y greens in my collection, I don't think I have a lot of them because I don't wear them a whole lot but I am also not thrilled with the ones I have...I think they are mostly CGs and I don't have the OPI Nordic one. I think I will end up getting it since so many are recommending it and saying its a unique color. If you can find a Zoya at Ulta, I say grab it while you can. My Ulta sucks when it comes to stocking Zoya, so much so that I gave up even going there to get them.
Thank you I'm sold on Joni then. Oh don't get me wrong I love the holographics but I have so much polish that whenever it's time to change my manicure I haven't been in the mood for them for some reason and I always seem to reach for something else. Yes my Ulta is terrible at stocking Zoyas too, but every once in a while you time it right and they'll have the exact polishes that I've been wishing for. It's actually happened several times with Zoyas I've wanted and OPI and Essie also. Then suddenly weeks will go by with nothing.
Hi! I have Leslie and is amazing! ! I skipped Wednesday because I saw swatches that is very similar to Opi My Dogsled is Hybrid and I own it, so I skipped it
I have Ziv, Trixie, Purity, Leslie, Caitlin, Wednesday, Tilda, Amy and Brighton. :-) I don't think I've ever worn Ziv or Trixie as a full mani, but they're great for accent nails! I tend to use Ziv at St. Paddy's Day and the holidays; and Trixie around New Year and 4th of July/Memorial Day. Purity is my favorite white, but I know a lot of people also love Snow White. Leslie is really pretty (I'm thinking she might be a little sheer, depending on application - but I could be wrong...it's been a while since I have worn her). Caitlin is one of my all-time faves; I also have Kelly and love her, too but if I had to choose, Caitlin would win! Wednesday I LOVE...it's probably my favorite turquoise and when I pair her with Zuza...it's magic, lol Tilda I have never even worn and I'm not sure why. Maybe I swatched upon receiving it and didn't like it against my skin tone? I dunno....I'm pretty fair and am warm/neutral, if that helps. Amy is really pretty and you're right, those are glass flecks; I tend to wear her in the fall - I don't know why! Brighton I haven't worn yet but it's really soft and pretty! Sorry if this is TMI, but I hope it helps.
I have the first 2 and the, and the last 2 you mentioned. Ziv, Trixie, Amy, and Brighton. Amy is very translucent. I could either try to swatch and put photos on IG or I can send you swatches on pop sticks so you can compare to your own colors.
Interesting! I didn't realize that! I really don't have any oranges in my collection so I am can almost guarantee I have nothing like it! I just don't know if I will wear it!
Wednesday is a bit more blue than the photo in my opinion. It’s gorgeous but a definite stainer. Noir is more red than Lorna although they are close. Also Noir has more bling and isn’t as matte. I haven’t swatched Amy yet (lazy I know 😋) but it’s stunning in the bottle.
Hi Heather, I have Lorna only, not Noir. I wouldn't consider getting Noir at this point as I think they are similar in color. It's worth buying Lorna if you prefer the milled glitter finish it has, as it is delicate. Instead Noir I bought Arabella, and I was having mixed feelings in the beginning as I don't enjoy pink so much. I was happy when it arrived though, it is a berry color (still a pink) but with such a depth, it is much a lighter version of Lorna that I enjoy so much, in my opinion. I can swatch both polishes side by side and send you a picture, wish we could post photos here. Anyways, also I love Wednesday and recommend it. I have other turquoises but appreciate the dust aspect of the color, not quite on the face, but still vibrant. I have both Brittany and Rue. Brittany is lighter and more opaque (there's more white) than Rue, I think it justifies having both. There's a bit of more pink in Brittany and some grey which I quite like it. I am glad I found your channel, as I relate to your preferences greatly, most of the time! I got Rue, Demetria, Ki because of your videos lol.
mayra gondim This was super helpful! Thank you! I just now realized I have a swatch plate (ya know those collection plastic plate thingys Zoya sends out with orders?) with Lorna on it. Duh!!
oh, how could it better than that? :) I noticed you also mentioned about Amy, and when I was purchasing the Mistery box while ago I debated in getting Amy, and tanzy and other polishes of that color range. it's sparkly nice orange but for me, that I don't wear orange much... it is one of the hardest colors to find a polish I guess. I won't wear it if it is a true orange. And for this color range, I picked Rica. It's definitely more orange than pink, not like Harper or Zooey. Rica may get some pink in certain lights but orange is its color due to its glass flecks. Rica has the color I was looking for when I purchased Harper. :) It's getting more difficult to me to find some polishes as my collection has grown, so probably I'll stay in a no-buy until finding something unique.
I love Wednesday! Have it, love it! Sophisticated sea glass. I also have Leslie. Every single time I wear it, someone comments on my nails. Positive comments.
I had Trixie and destashed it for all of the reasons you said, so I say skip it unless you want it for stamping. Take a chance on Lorna, she’s gorgeous. Caitlin is a stunner, but dries significantly darker than the bottle color (like many Zoyas). If you’re wavering on Tilda, Cece is a really pretty bright warm green Pixie that’s similar but more wearable. I’m curious how similar Brighton is to Butter London All Hail the Queen, Amy is to BL Sunbaker, and Coco is to Pepper.... I say stop trying to get what you think you should have- you’re hesitating on most of these for very valid reasons- and spend the money on more indies ;-)
I will give you my bottle of Leslie, if I can find it. It looked really bad with my really pink skin. I'll look around tonight for it. If I find it, I'll message you on IG and then I can send it to you. I did one mani with it. So, it's basically a full bottle. I've been hoping to find a good home for it.
I have both Ziv and Trixie, both are great. I use them mostly for accent nails, great formula. I don't have Jill, but I do have Rue and Brittany. I feel like Rue is darker and has more brown in it while Brittany is lighter and more pink. They are very similar though. I don't love the sating formula SO I'd skip it. Leslie was a big disappointment for me. The blue flash doesn't show up hardly at all. It's very similar to Heather and Abby. Coco is very close to Pepper (which is darker) and Joni (which has more purple), Caitlin has awesome, I have a bunch of Zoyas and nothing like that one in my collection Amy is nice, similar to Myrta, I prefer Amy to Myrta though. GET Brighton, it's lovely. I prefer the scattered holographic to the pixie dusts all day long.
Wow, I would never have thought Coco was close to Pepper or Joni! Thanks! Also sad face on Leslie. I hate when the shimmers don't show up! This was super helpful. Thank you!
Heather D WAY closer to Joni than pepper. I wish I could post swatch photos here. They are different enough to not be dupes but in the same family for sure
Trixie is WAY too blingy for me, even as an accent nail (my whole collection is cremes). It stamps well but I'll still only use it for special occasion/holiday manis.
Heather don't fall for what people are talking about if you think that you already have a color that similar save your hard earned money for something else. Because later one you going to destash it.
Get Leslie! Its beautiful and the blue shimmer makes it special!!
Ziv and trixie I have and love. No brush strokes. It's more like brushed gold or brushed silver.Makes a perfect accent nail. Love the gold for when I'm wearing gold jewelry and the silver when I wear silver.
Wednesday- seafoam
I have Amy and Trixie. I also want Leslie. Tomoko becomes more gold and sparkly after a day of wearing it. My Purity is a little thick and was since I bought it so I’m going to get Snow White for French manicures
I love Brighton!! Most definitely recommend!
Leslie's formula surprised me because I thought it would be super sheer, but it was a good two-coater for me.Thanks for sharing your list, I added a few to my own list now hehe!
I have both Wednesday and Tilda. I love both as green is one of my favorite polishes to wear. Wednesday is like a muted green-blue which look very classy on the nail. Tilda is a grass green that is right up my alley.
I can't wait to see what you picked up in the earth day sale!
I would recommend Ziv!! It has pretty copper flakies in it which makes it very unique. It has a great formula too.
I love Brittany and I’m a new Zoya collector 👍🏼🧚♀️ooh Wednesday does look pretty
You need Ziv and Wednesday! I love both of those polishes. They are both pretty unique in my large collection too.
I will have to buy Lorna. Thank you for the video.
Hi Heather! I have Brighton and I enjoy it. It wears really well. I have two very small chips after five days of wear. The color is subtle enough that the chips are really hard to see. The color is a nude leaning beige. For me I would like it to be a little more gray but I have an ILNP that fits that bill.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who puts Zoya polish in the cart and then waver on it and pull it out haha
Thx for the video. I really enjoyed it. I have some of those same polishes on my wishlist also. I received Brighton in my mystery box. Still not sure if I like it that much. My friend loves it. I'm not so sure. I need a suggestion for a good white to wear under my neons in the summer. If you could suggest something?
The Revlon Top speed white is really good.

Heather D oh I own Waverly it is stunning! :)
wednesday is kind of like a green leaning seafoam if that makes sense. it looks a smidge dusty too. pretty unique in mypersonal collection!
I need to look at my collection. I don' t think I have a lot of those teal-y green colors in my collection.

carlotawas Hmmmmm that is what I was worried about
I love Zoya Wednesday. It reminds me of OPI My Dog Sled is a Hybrid, which I do have. I just brought up some swatches of it and I also can't figure out what type of green it is. I was gonna say, sage but it's brighter than that. Maybe it's a sage/mint sort of hybrid but it also has a brightness to it. Since you don't really wear greens I'm not sure if you were wanting something like that but it's gorgeous. If I didn't already have the OPI I would add it to my list.

Can't comment about tilda (it is currently on my maybe list). But, I have to say, after reading all your wonderful comments...I'm buying it!
lisa young yay!!!
Brighton is gorgeous and I am not a huge fan of nudes!!!! I love even more because it is on the scattered holo. I also have Leslie and I love it.

oh, how could it better than that? :)
I noticed you also mentioned about Amy, and when I was purchasing the Mistery box while ago I debated in getting Amy, and tanzy and other polishes of that color range. it's sparkly nice orange but for me, that I don't wear orange much... it is one of the hardest colors to find a polish I guess. I won't wear it if it is a true orange.
And for this color range, I picked Rica. It's definitely more orange than pink, not like Harper or Zooey. Rica may get some pink in certain lights but orange is its color due to its glass flecks. Rica has the color I was looking for when I purchased Harper. :)
It's getting more difficult to me to find some polishes as my collection has grown, so probably I'll stay in a no-buy until finding something unique.
I love Wednesday! Have it, love it! Sophisticated sea glass. I also have Leslie. Every single time I wear it, someone comments on my nails. Positive comments.
lisa young oooh I like sophisticated seaglass!
I had Trixie and destashed it for all of the reasons you said, so I say skip it unless you want it for stamping. Take a chance on Lorna, she’s gorgeous. Caitlin is a stunner, but dries significantly darker than the bottle color (like many Zoyas). If you’re wavering on Tilda, Cece is a really pretty bright warm green Pixie that’s similar but more wearable. I’m curious how similar Brighton is to Butter London All Hail the Queen, Amy is to BL Sunbaker, and Coco is to Pepper.... I say stop trying to get what you think you should have- you’re hesitating on most of these for very valid reasons- and spend the money on more indies ;-)
Haha quality advice 😘
I will give you my bottle of Leslie, if I can find it. It looked really bad with my really pink skin. I'll look around tonight for it. If I find it, I'll message you on IG and then I can send it to you. I did one mani with it. So, it's basically a full bottle. I've been hoping to find a good home for it.
Awww that would be so sweet! :)
I have both Ziv and Trixie, both are great. I use them mostly for accent nails, great formula. I don't have Jill, but I do have Rue and Brittany. I feel like Rue is darker and has more brown in it while Brittany is lighter and more pink. They are very similar though. I don't love the sating formula SO I'd skip it. Leslie was a big disappointment for me. The blue flash doesn't show up hardly at all. It's very similar to Heather and Abby. Coco is very close to Pepper (which is darker) and Joni (which has more purple), Caitlin has awesome, I have a bunch of Zoyas and nothing like that one in my collection Amy is nice, similar to Myrta, I prefer Amy to Myrta though. GET Brighton, it's lovely. I prefer the scattered holographic to the pixie dusts all day long.
Wow, I would never have thought Coco was close to Pepper or Joni! Thanks! Also sad face on Leslie. I hate when the shimmers don't show up! This was super helpful. Thank you!
Heather D WAY closer to Joni than pepper. I wish I could post swatch photos here. They are different enough to not be dupes but in the same family for sure
Trixie is WAY too blingy for me, even as an accent nail (my whole collection is cremes). It stamps well but I'll still only use it for special occasion/holiday manis.
Tracy Ya. Silvers and gold are always tricky for me. I find them way too blingy also!
Heather don't fall for what people are talking about if you think that you already have a color that similar save your hard earned money for something else. Because later one you going to destash it.
Very true. My only thought is having them to do comparison colors for Zoya collections.
