Zoya Holiday Y2K, Swatches and Review

Press sample

Hello everyone. Today I have the first of two holiday trios from Zoya. I like the idea of smaller collections. They used to do huge 12 piece Christmas collections and I feel like nowadays people just can’t afford to buy 12 polishes at once. But 3? That’s a lot more accessible. This collection was inspired by Y2K. Why? I have no idea. But I remember Y2K very clearly!

Malana: 3 coats. A GLAMOROUS juicy bubblegum pink in a liquid holographic jelly formula. Holy cow, that’s like the pinkest pink I’ve ever seen. While it’s not a color I’m attracted to, it’s definitely a throwback to colors I would have loved in middle school. There’s also a really nice blue tinge to it. Is that a Fergie reference too? The Flossie, Flossieeeee.

sparrow: 3 coats. A light cyan jelly shade, this liquid hologram makes for a nice splashy look with this boom boom pow! This one is super bright and fun and has a purple shift that you could see in person but wanted to hide in photos. Like the previous color, it was a bit see-through in two coats, so I preferred three to get rid of my entire nail edge. Again this is an entirely Y2K color and I assume once again named after Fergie since the description mentions Boom Boom Pow.

Tamia: 3 coats. A tart liquid grape jelly enriched with holographic sparkles, truly irreplaceable! I don’t know if this is also a Fergie reference, but I’m trying to think of a song in the 2000s as irreplaceable. I’m sure it exists. That’s just the Fergie collection to me, lol. For me this color screams 2000 and I can remember that I got such purple shimmering polishes and sunglasses, haha. Remember those colored sunglasses Britney used to wear? LOLL,
