Zoya Jubilee Collection ~ Holiday 2018

It feels so good to be Friday! Do you have any plans for the weekend? I don’t have any plans yet, other than sleeping a lot. The time change messes me up so bad and I always feel completely exhausted a few days after the time change. This afternoon we are taking our American Eskimo Halo to the vet, nothing wrong just his yearly follow up. That means his 1 year Gotcha Day is coming up real soon. Wow time flies when you’re having fun! When we adopted him we had never had a blind dog, and while we’ve had some challenges, he does amazing. He learned the house super fast. Occasionally he gets lost outside, we can’t move furniture around, and he can’t be crated or kenneled.. but otherwise he’s just like any other dog. We fully expect a clean bill of health from the vet. Now back to the matter at hand.. nail polish. I finally got the Zoya Jubilee Collection swatched and I have it to show you today. 

Zoya Jubilee Collection ~ Holiday 2018



Zoya Leigh
Zoya Leigh

Leigh is described as a full-coverage perfect winter nude – rich and warm cream with just a hint of pink to compliment any skintone. My swatches show one coat with glossy top coat. I can often get one coat coverage with Zoya cremes, although I highly recommend a ridge filling base coat. One coat coverage tends to show any imperfections in your nail bed, and the ridge filling base coat solves that problem. I personally recommend LynB Designs B-Smooth.

Zoya Carson

Carson is described as a full-coverage muted nude pink cream – a beautiful shade to create an understated elegance. My swatches show one coat with glossy top coat.

Astrid is described as a liquid gold foil that adds a festive touch to any holiday look. My swatches show three coats with glossy top coat. You might get away with two coats though.

Allison is described as a full-coverage plum-toned ruby cream – a more amped up version of a traditional plum shade. My swatches show two coats with glossy top coat.

Zoya Cookie
Zoya Cookie

Cookie is described as a purple PixieDust with gold flecks. These new pixie dusts are a bit more textured than previous releases, so keep that in mind before ordering. And before you ask no I can’t deal with texture on my nails.. but I love using textured polishes on my toes. Easy to apply, dry quickly, and last forever. My swatches show two coats, no top coat.

Zoya Leopard Spots
Zoya Leopard Spots

Leopard Spots is described as a special effect topper designed to layer over textured PixieDust shades for an edgy leopard spots effect. So this is kind of fun, but when I saw that it’s designed to go over pixie dusts it made me wonder what it would do over a textured polish, but also what a regular shatter polish would do over a pixiedust.

I destashed all my shatter polishes years ago, but in the interest of science I ordered OPI Black Shatter. As you can see it reacts very similar to Leopard Spots over both types of polishes, and I was even able to duplicate the effect dependent on how thick or thin of a coat I used. Do you need both? I think probably not, unless you just really love the effect and plan to wear it often.

Zoya Kateri

Kateri is described as a full-coverage beautiful midnight brown cream. My swatches show one coat with glossy top coat.

My thoughts on this collection: They all have the smooth dependable formula we can count on from Zoya, and most of the cremes were perfect in one coat when used with a ridge filling base. The Jubilee Collection has a nice mix of colors, and I love that they have included two new PixieDusts. 

Which do you plan on picking up or have you already grabbed your favorites? My top picks are Carson, Taryn, Maxine, Danica, and Juniper.

The Jubilee Collection is available now on Zoya.com.

    Give me Chiara and I’ll be one happy person! My friend has a blind Corgi that she rescued. She said he’s the most gentle dog she’s ever had. She did a program with him and took him to school to work with children. My current rescue would be good like that but not the one before.

  • Astrid and Cookie for me please
