Since the two collection seems to have matching cream and glitter shades, I chose to test the Bubbly shades as toppers over their (in most cases) matching Tickled shades. Although I would usually split the two collections into separate posts, I wanted to make it easier to compare how the topper changed the base color. For that reason prepare yourselves for a photo heavy post...
Before we get to the swatches, just a few general comments so I don't have to repeat myself. Although I chose to layer the Bubbly shades, they can be used on their own as well and will achieve good coverage in 3-4 coats. For the Tickled swatches I used 2 coats of the cream polish with no top coat. Then I added 2 coats of the matching glittery shade plus a top coat for the Bubbly swatches. The formula on all of the bubbly shades is great. It is easy to apply and provides great distribution of the glitter and shimmer. If using it alone, I suggest giving a little extra time between coats so the jelly base does not get goopy. The photos don't do the glittery beauties justice because it is just impossible to capture all the color shifts in the iridescent glitter. Now let's get to the swatches...
Tilda
A sour apple green cream. The formula is nice and creamy, maybe a tad on the thick side. It is practically a one coater...

A medium blue cream. This one is nice and creamy, not too thick. Applies very easily. It is another one that can be a 1 coater. It did not stain for me (always my worry with blues for some reason!)...

A rose pink cream. The formula is a bit thick, but smooth and manageable. Like the two creams above, this is practically a one coat polish which is so amazing!

Alma (layered over Wendy)
A light orange sheer base loaded with gold glass fleck shimmer and iridescent glitter. As you can see this doesn't match the cream shade I layered it over and it completely dominated the color. Three coats of this on it's own would have given good coverage as well. This seems to have more of the gold shimmer than the rest. Really sparkly...

Kirtridge looks so nice, sure it would match perfect with my skin tone, do I'm not that sure about the others. ovely swatches doh! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Kirtridge is such a lovely pink! I always love that shade. :)
DeleteI have been waiting for your review! So...do I need both of these sets? I feel that blue, green and orange crèmes are very similar to other Zoyas I own. But I am such a sucker for Zoya! Which are must haves if you already own many zoyas?
ReplyDeleteWhich ones do you have that are similar? If I have them, I'd be happy to compare. I just checked my Zoya collection and I don't have any obvious dupes for the green, blue or orange. And those would actually be my 3 picks. They are so vibrant and gorgeous, some just a bit thick in the formula. Need to try them for stamping!
DeleteFrom the shimmers, I think the blue and green are stunning. The rest almost seem like the same shimmer/glitter mix with a different tinted jelly base.
Josie and Thandie. And then Rocky and Robyn for the blue one.
DeleteBut who am I kidding...probably going to get them all! Lol :)
I am in love with Rocha and Wendy!!! <3 Great swatches!
