Zoya Tutti Frutti - Summer 2025 - Bottle and Swatch Stick Comparison

Ello!

Long time no post, I know its been quite a while, since starting Ajovy the new medication for my chronic migraine I have been having great success with it, I've been having way way less migraine days, so have been taking full advantage of being able to do stuff.  

The only down side is that my nails cant keep any real length to them anymore, however, I have been using the Zoya Rescue and Repair set which is the rescue serum and the repair base and the staining my nails had is almost gone.  I think it has helped my nail strength a little as well.

I am going to pick up the new Pure Profector Plus to trial.

Anywho, today on the blog I'm sharing the new shades only of the Tutti Frutti collection for Summer 2025 from Zoya.

The new shades are Sunday, Mindi, Boo, Capri and Tiggy.

My photos are not colour corrected, I only crop and add my watermark, today was kinda sunny.   The new polishes have the white caps, I have now switched them out for the black, I dont like the white ones.

Link to previous Beachy Brights comparison for the other shades. Beachy Brights 2

First up Boo, Yummy and Tucker, no dupes, Yummy has a drop of green, and Tucker is a smidge darker.

Left to right Capri, Fisher, Blu and Bevin, no dupes, Capri is like a really pale pale turquoise, nothing was close, the pale greens were too green, the pale blues too blue still.

Left to right Mindi, Frankie, Alora, Cherri and Sooki, this tricky and the sun came out for this pic so it might actually help, I dont think any of these are dupes, Mindi is very bright red with that sublet blue shimmer, Frankie is close but looks flat as she is a cream, Alora is darker, as is Cherri and Sooki is a true red

Left to right Sunday, Tiggy, Rosa, Mandy, Mae and Inez, no dupes, I didnt have another quite like Sunday or Tiggy.  I thought Inez was close until I pulled her out and she is so much deeper than these two, they are almost neon bright.

There we have it, I have worn Boo and Capri, both great formula, perfect in two coats.

Do you think I've missed a comparison? Let me know in the comments and if I have the Zoya I'll do the comparison.

Dita is quite a chameleon shade, she doesnt really want to photograph colour accurately. Dita has an outstanding formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Dita also stamps.  The dark daylight picture is colour aceturate, this is not a super bright shade.

A Zoya A Day - Mae and Toni

Hi Friends

Today I'm sharing my swatch and review of the gorgeous Mae and Toni. I'm hoping to get back into blogging, I have quite a few Zoya I need to catch up on swatch reviewing.

Coats - 2

Finish - Cream
Collection - Designer

Colour - Red
Topcoat - No

Toni can be best described as a dark, warm raisin-wine cream with strong purple tones. 

Mae is pretty but she is sheer, I didnt think this was going to be a two coater, good formula, no running or pooling.  

Toni is like a dark cherry red, great formula, almost a one coater, no running or pooling and I did two coats. Toni also stamps.  Toni does dry darker than in the bottle.

I have been taking part in the When Colours Collide nail challenges, this past week was the end of a challenge, below is my entry, the colours were brown (cream only) and gold. For the challenge I did a base of Zoya Goldie and Zoya Foster, I then stamped in Foster and Elaine along with Models Own Chrome Gold. The next challenge is dark blue and silver, so I think I might use Zoya Ryan and likely Color Club. 

Everlasting Collection for Fall 2024 - Bottle and Swatch Stick Comparisons

Hi Friends 

Long time no post, apologises, I was taking as much time outside in the sunshine as possible given what a rubbish start to the summer we had.

Today I'm sharing my swatch stick and bottle comparisons for the new Everlasting collection for Fall 2024.

Names are as follows 

Annabelle, Cosette, Franny, Henley, Opal (reuse) and Ondine.

I was thinking this palette reminded me of the Toasty collection from spring 2023 but that was actually a more grey brown toned collection. Check out my comparison and review here.

Toasty Comparisons

As always the new polish is first left, I never colour correct, only crop and add my watermark, it was kinda over cast today.

I figured we'd do a comparison of Tucker the August polish of the month as I did order her.

Left to right Tucker, Yummy and Marisol, no dupes Tucker is a teeny bit lighter in tone than Yummy, Yummy is discontinued.

Left to right Opal, Chelsea, Erika and the original Opal, no dupes, Erika has a peach undertone and Chelsea is a cream.  The flakie on the end is the original use of the name Opal from the Fleck Effect collection from spring 2012.

Left to right Franny, Gwen and Jordan, no dupes, this is close though between Gwen and Franny, Franny has a tiny bit more brown undertone, Jordan is much more pink leaning. Gwen is from the Abundance collection in 2022.

Left to right Henley, Brianna and Arielle, no dupes, but its close between Brianna and Henley, with Henley having a slightly deeper undertone, Arielle is deeper again but she is also discontinued. Brianna was from Enamoured in 2023.

Left to right Cosette, Twinklette and Fairleigh, no dupes, Twinklette has a taupie/brown undertone and Fairleigh has a lilac undertone.

Left to right Annabelle, Arianna and Blaze, no dupes, these three are all different finishes, Arianna is a pixiedust and Blaze is a scattered holographic, Arianna is discontinued.

Left to right Ondine, Pamela and Gabi, this is tricky, Pamela is a teeny bit brighter in the bottle and on the swatch stick, Pamela is only available in a petite bottle on the Zoya website at present, Gabi has a red undertone.

So there you have it, what do we think? Its an interesting selection for a fall collection, although we are getting a second collection in September, for me this would have worked better as a winter/spring collection, I get the everlasting angle these are chic timeless colours.

A Zoya A Day - Alora and Georgie

Hi Friends

I've been a bad blogger, been trying to enjoy as much of the sun as possible between all the rainy days.  Today lets have a look at Alora and Georgie.

Available on the website - Yes
Brush used - Z Wide
Name - Alora
Year - 2024
Number - ZP1190

Does it stamp - Yes

Coats - 2

Finish - Cream
Collection - Beachy Brights 2

Colour - Red
Topcoat - Yes

Alora is described as a juicy fire engine red filled with pink undertones,

Available on the website - Yes
Brush used - Z Wide
Name - Georgie
Year - 2024
Number - ZP1230

Does it stamp - No

Coats - 3

Finish - Holographic Glitter
Collection - Beachy Brights 2

Colour - Red
Topcoat - Yes

Georgie can be described as a vibrant summer red with a holographic glitter.

I have been wearing some of the other Beachy Bright colours, in fact I wore Avani the green for a few days and ended up with slightly lime green nails even though I wore basecoat! that was quite something to see lol 

Normally I am not a red fan, usually because I mess up and get the red into my cuticles then it looks like a blood bath on my nails for a while.  I was very slow and careful today, although I still messed up but only in how I applied the colours on which fingers. I ment to do the opposite on what my left hand was but I got distracted making sure I didnt mess up.

Alora has a fantastic formula, almost a one coater and probably with use she will become a one coater, I did two coats for my manicure, Alora dried semi-shiny, forgot to take pics prior to topcoat as I was so focused on not mucking this manicure up.

Georgie I did two thin coats then a third thicker coat to get the colour thats in the bottle, I am also wearing this over a peel off base coat, so likely will be wearing this combo for at least 4 days.

On a health update, June was my last Ajovy injection and I'm now on the mandated break to see what my migraine do, some people have gone a good few months before needing to re-start the injections again. The cat is not my cat, this guy comes to see us most days if its dry, we have no clue what their name is, we just call them Big Dude as they are a large cat, I was sat on my lounger cushion and he stole my chair today.  The polishes looked soo stunning in the sunshine.

 

A Zoya A Day - Coco

Hi Friends

Today I'm sharing my manicure of Coco.

Available on the website - Yes
Brush used - Original
Name - Coco
Year - 2007
Number - ZP0422

Does it stamp - Yes

Coats - 2

Finish - Cream
Collection - Uptown

Colour - Mauve
Topcoat - No

Coco can be best described as a dark marsala mauve with brown, red and purple undertones with a smooth cream finish. 

Coco is one of those chic colours that you can wear at any time and it looks good with any outfit, the colour is chameleon like, one minute it looks brown, then a red brown then a dark mauve pink. Great formula, no running or pooling and I did two coats.

Coco also stamps well. I have also purchased the new Beachy Brights 2 and Paisley the May polish of the month, I think they will be arriving here next Monday 3rd June.

Everyone is hoping for some sunny weather, the cats are still in winter mode, I had both cats crashed out on me this morning and Obi was hanging out in my office just now.

A Zoya A Day - Andi

Hi Friends

Today on the blog we have a classic Hollywood red, lets meet Andi.

Available on the website - Yes
Brush used - Original
Name - Andi
Year - 2007
Number - ZP0424

Does it stamp - Yes

Coats - 1

Finish - Cream
Collection - Uptown

Colour - Red
Topcoat - No

Andi by Zoya can be best described as a bold medium blue-toned red with a touch of barely-perceptible silver shimmer.

Wait, shimmer?? but you list the finish as cream, I've stared at the bottle and I dont see any shimmer, at all.  Does anyone see shimmer?

Andi has a perfect formula, no running or pooling and I did one sweet coat for my swatches, Andi also stamps really well, this reminds me of old school Hollywood like Marlene Dietrich and Marilyn Monroe.

One of my readers wanted to see how a yellow holographic would look, so also below is Zoya Honey with two coats of Wikkid Polish Stardust over her.
