Hey you. Are you enjoying your weekend so far? I basically have not left the house since Friday, and I’m enjoying it more than I should. There are tons of things that I could be doing, but here I am in my sweats watching movies and swatching tons of polishes. Have you been doing anything fun this weekend? I’m currently watching the movie Chef (for the 3rd time), and now I want a crazy delicious grilled cheese. Anyway, today I’m going to show you my swatches of the Zoya Island Fun Collection which is the creme half of their Summer Collection. If you read my blog regularly, you know creme polish is life to me so I’m always excited to try these out first. Let me show you my swatches, and then I’ll let you know what I think.
Zoya Jace
Zoya Nana
Zoya Serenity
Zoya Cecilia
Zoya Talia
Zoya Demetria
Well, you know I’m gonna say it: these are all gorgeous cremes. Lately I have been super obsessed with green nail polish so I was super excited about Jace, but it was super thin. I like the color, but it took 3 coats to get the color opaque. All of the other colors were opaque with 2 coats, which is typical with the Zoya creme formula. I had minor staining with Cecilia and Talia, but I’m sure that with a good base coat, you shouldn’t have too many problems. Overall, the colors are really nice and very Summer appropriate but they’re staples that you probably have dupes for already. If you don’t have something similar, then I can definitely recommend these. What do you think of these shades? Are there any that you are planning to pick up or have purchased already? Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I will talk to you soon!
Now that I think about it, I haven’t left the house, either (except to walk Leeloo, haha). Yesterday I worked hard all day…did a ton of laundry, bathed Leeloo, and cleaned my bathroom…and today I’ve done NOTH.ING.
Your swatches of these are great…the polishes look like they’re good polishes (if that makes sense).
did you by any chance name leeloo from the character from the fifth element movie? lol
The grilled cheese sandwich in Chef was a work of art. Mine never looked that appealing.
There’s no wow factor with these colors. Like you stated, dupes can be found in my stash.
So pretty these are!

I love Zoya! Like you said, these are staple colors but even so, Serenity is calling my name! Great swatches. I know you probably get this question a lot but what top coat do you use? Your swatches always look super shiny!!
Seche Vite all the way! 🙂 I try to rotate between Seche and Poshe but Seche wins out every time.
