Sophia can best be described as an intense crimson red with a golden glass-fleck blended in.

Both of these are stunning. Dominique has a fabulous formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat.

Sophia is gorgeous, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, I then stamping Ming over Dominique and Leighton over Sophia for a tonal look, top coated with Barry M Plumpy Topcoat, which is fast drying and does not smudge stamping.  The stamping plate is Born Pretty - Artist - L003.

I might put a coat of Fancy Gloss Sharp Class over these as well, Sharp Class is a black thermal base loaded with golden flakies.

Zoya Dazzle Comparisons - Bottles and Swatch Sticks.

Hey Friends

Today I've got my comparisons for the Dazzle collection for Winter 2021/2022, this is a five piece collection consisting of Alexis, Esme, Sophia, Dominique and Marlena, they are all glass fleck polishes. I do not have the lip gloss because those dont seem to be available from Nail Polish Direct where I purchased my set from.

As with all my comparisons, theyre taken in day light and the new polish is always the first left.

First up is Alexis who is described as a shimmering white diamond with a beautiful mirrored effect.

Left to Right Alexis, Eclipse and Dallas, no dupes, the sparkles in Eclipse are coloured while Dallas has those white glitters. My swatch sticks for the white are painted black underneath to show their colour better. I did half black and half white for Alexis though.

Esme can best be described as a soft rose gold with a glistening gold glass fleck.

Left to Right Esme, Tiffany and Tinsley, no dupes Esme is a slightly different colour tone to Tinsley and Tiffany who is sadly discontinued. Esme to me is a peachy golden orange not rose gold.

Sophia can best be described as an intense crimson red with a golden glass-fleck blended in.

Left to right, Sophia, Jade and Marigold, no dupes, Jades particles are red not gold, and Marigold is a much brighter base colour.

Dominique can best be described as a royal purple with a fierce glass fleck effect.

Left to right, Dominique, Cookie, Daul and Faye, no dupes, Dominique is much deeper than Daul and Faye, more like Cookie, this is the second use of the name, the original was a red cream polish from 2005.

Marlena can best be described as a mid-toned cerulean blue with a gorgeous gold fleck effect.

Left to right Marlena, Summer, Hazel and Crystal, no dupes, this was quite interesting because I was sure this was going to be close to Charla and Remy but its much much brighter.  The closest is Summer but she has a green aqua undertone.

I really need to re-order my wall now, but I'm trying to wait until I've swatched all the blues, I dont want to re-order them and then miss a colour because it got moved.

I am planning on picking up the Naturel 5 set when it gets to the UK at some point.

Dominique is a discontinued polish but can be described as a warm medium red creme, with a warm orange undertone.

Diana is gorgeous, I'm not sure I see a burgundy hint on the nail, a little in the bottle, good formula, no running or pooling and I would say opaque in two coats even though I did one, you can see my nail line and while she stamps its not great.

Dominique is a warm orange undertoned brick red, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat and stamps very well and you can see that orange/brown undertone in the stamp. I had to write on my label as it had faded badly, didnt go a very good job, might try printing out a label instead.

Yesterday I did a mani for the When Colours Collide Collab which was for bright orange and grey. I did two coats of Fancy Gloss Neon Orange, stamped with Zoya August and used Apiplia Super Placa H :) everyone did a great job, so many brilliant manicures :) 

Zoya Alyssa & Dominique

Today on the blog I have two stunning red beauties that are Alyssa and Dominique.

Dominique is from the Provocateur collection from 2005, this is a bright red with a brown undertone giving it an orange look. This was opaque in just one sweet coat, it went exactly where I put it, no running or pooling at all. Perfection!

Alyssa is from the new Element collection for Autumn or Fall as the Americans say is from 2018, this is a dark plum toned red again perfect formula opaque in one sweet coat no pooling or running.

Both of these were super shiny on their own. I apologise for the state of the label on Dominique, the label was very faded and hard to read and I tried to add the name.  The side by side picture is of Sookie on the right a true toned red to show you the brown undertone of Dominique.  Sookie is also a one coater.

I also spent today adding the collections years to my spread sheet of Zoya I own, so that I can keep track of what I've worn, colour family etc.
