ZOYA Seashells collection for Summer 2016 : Swatches and Review





Hi there, my darlings! It's another scorcher in NYC today...I mean, hot like FIRE! Summer is just a hop, skip away, I think! Since I shared the first of two Summer collections from Zoya Nail Polish and Treatment, can the second be far behind?! Today, let's take a look at the Seashells collection for Summer 2016!


This collection consists of 6 textured polishes in Zoya's signature Pixie Dust formula, with tons of added holographic glitter. To be honest, I've never really liked textured polishes...unless I met the Pixie Dusts! There's just something about the combination of the buttery smooth formula and the unique looks that won me over--these are no different! All the swatches show just 2 coats of each polish by itself, although in hindsight a couple of them could have used a third coat. No topcoat on any fingers, EXCEPT the ring finger which has 1 thin coat of topcoat to show you how it looks. Now, with all that said, on to swatches!


Bay is described as "a sky blue, textured PixieDust with fine silver and gold glitter creating a dreamy effect". Although sheerer than the others in this collection, this ethereal blue is one of my faves!

Cece is described as "a full impact green, textured PixieDust with a thin vein of gold creating a fizzy lemon-lime effect". A must-try for green lovers!

Levi is described as "a beige gold, textured PixieDust with medium holographic hex glitter". Lovely, flattering, sparkly gold that reminds me of champagne on a special occasion!

Linds is described as "a cherry red, textured PixieDust with red and fuchsia glitter to mimic the look of maraschino cherries dipped in sugar!". I prefer this bright red WITHOUT topcoat because oddly enough, topcoat just dulls its sparkle!

Tilly is described as "a starry grey, textured PixieDust with a small holographic glitter interwoven with a darker gunmetal". Another instant fave, I love the pops of holo sparkle in this beauty!

Zooey is described as "a classic pink, textured PixieDust laced with a fine thread of gold and medium sized holographic hexes for an added layer of dimension". First of all, try saying that name 10 times fast...Zoya Zooey, Zoya Zoeey, Zoya Zooey. Lol! Don't you love it?! This pink wears with a coral undertone on me that I adore!

So, if you caught my last post, you know that this time, Zoya has released a new, coordinated lip color with both their new Summer collections! You can pick up these lipsticks either individually ($12) or as part of a specially curated Lips & Tips Quad ($18) with 3 mini bottles of polish.




Seashells Summer Lips & Tips Quad consists of a lipstick in the shade Mellie, described as "a red-pink cream, with a cool toned, mid-range intensity, and medium coverage", along with minis of Levi, Linds and Tilly. Love this shade--it's totally something I would pick up for myself!




So there you have it, my darlings! The Zoya Seashells collection is available now on Zoya's website HERE for the price of $10 for a full-size, 0.5 oz bottle or $60 for the set of 6.
