Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Blake (Party Girls) - Part 2

From left to right: Eunice (Into the Deep, July 2016), Bell Bottom Blues (Leggy Legend, Autumn 2015), High on Hope (Hope and Freedom Fest, Spring 2013), Up All Night (Patent Leather in the City, Spring 2006), First Class Ticket (Vintage Vixen, Autumn 2010), Light My Sapphire (Night Brights, Summer 2007), Russian Navy (Russia, Autumn 2007), Ciara (Rebel Set, October 2013), Queen of the Night (Her Majesty, Holiday 2016), Blake, Sansa (Ignite, Autumn 2014), Michaela (New York Never Sleeps, October 2015), Live and Let Die (Skyfall, Holiday 2012), Madelynn (Muse Montreal, August 2015)

Nothing here matches Blake’s inky base with gold shimmer. Sansa has a purple base and has stronger and more opaque glitter. Queen of the Night is also close but again it’s purple and has orange glitter. Michaela has green glitter and Ciara has blue.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Blake (Party Girls) - Part 1

From left to right: Venus Was Her Name, Paula (Countdown, December 2014), Turn on the Northern Lights (Iceland, Autumn 2017), Dressed to the Nineties (As If, Autumn 2017), Blake, Delia (Diamonds Forever, November 2016), Songbird Serenade (My Little Pony, Summer 2017), Darcy (Future Fresh, January 2017), Groove Thang (Dance to the Musique, Autumn 2008), Prima Donna (A Night at the Opera, Autumn 2013), Under the Stars (Coastal Crush, Summer 2017), Scandalous Shenanigans (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013)

I did an extra close up shot of Blake and Delia to show that they are actually rather close. Their shimmer isn’t exactly the same but they’re definitely the same idea and mostly the same execution too. Dressed to the Nineties is different but it’s something fans of Blake would enjoy. Songbird Serenade has a vastly different shimmer and a black base instead of a blue one but again, similar.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Isadora (Party Girls) - Part 2

From left to right: Beautiful Disaster (Mash-Up, Summer 2013), Hope (Classics), Purple Fiction (Rebel, Autumn 2016), Stella (Retro Diva, Autumn 2009), Close Your Eyes (Truth or Dare, Autumn 2005), Haven (Wishes, Holiday 2014), Yasmeen (Provocateur, Summer 2006), Rochelle (Countdown, December 2014), Isadora, Let’s Groove (Retro Diva, Autumn 2009), Black Cherry Chutney (India, Spring 2008), Thess (Luminous Lights, Holiday 2016), Sexy Divide (Winter 2008), Belinda (Zenith, Holiday 2013), Mariah (New Year New Look, January 2016)

Nothing here has quite the deep and luxurious finish of Isadora. Rochelle is similar in color but a flatter looking metallic, and Let’s Groove is too dark, and Black Cherry Chutney isn’t quite as shimmery. Most of the stuff on the left has some sort of gold shimmer in it, which Isadora lacks.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Isadora (Party Girls) - Part 1

From left to right: Meep-Meep-Meep (Muppets, Holiday 2011), Flashbulb Fuchsia (Brights, Summer 2005), Millie (Charming, Spring 2017), The Last Petal (Beauty & the Beast, Spring 2017), Rose My Name (Summer Reign, Summer 2017), Dora (Stroke of Midnight Mystery Box, December 2016), Opening Night (A Night at the Opera, Autumn 2013), Isadora, Patricia (Naughty or Nice Mystery Box, December 2014), Glamcore (Street Regal, Autumn 2017), Prima Donna (A Night at the Opera, Autumn 2013)

Opening Night is by far the closest thing I have here to Isadora. The finish is a bit more flecky and Isadora is more purple toned but otherwise they’re really close. Patricia is also in the same category although it’s a bit less purple and darker.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Delaney (Party Girls) - Part 2

From left to right: Taurus (Zodiac, May 2016), I’m in the Moon for Love (Starlight, Holiday 2015), Hope (Classics), Purple with a Purpose (Brights, Summer 2005), Vampsterdam (Holland, Spring 2012), Pondering (The Great Outdoors, Autumn 2015), Delaney, Juno (Utopia, Holiday 2007), Yasmeen (Provocateur, Summer 2006), Belinda (Zenith, Holiday 2013), Russian Navy (Russia, Autumn 2007), Let’s Groove (Retro Diva, Autumn 2009), Sexy Divide (Winter 2008)

Delaney is really rather close to Zoya’s Juno, a polish that turns ten this holiday season - Juno is a bit warmer toned but the shift is similar. Pondering is the only other duochrome here but it’s way off.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Delaney (Party Girls) - Part 1

Okay, I either forgot Rodeo Fanatic was blue or overestimated how strong Delaney’s blue flash is.

From left to right: Rodeo Fanatic (Rodeo Diva, Autumn 2008), Glamcore (Street Regal, Autumn 2017), Dressed to the Nineties (As If, Autumn 2017), Delaney, Groove Thang (Dance to the Musique, Autumn 2008), I Carol About You (Gwen Stefani Holiday, Holiday 2014), Prima Donna (A Night at the Opera, Autumn 2013), Marta (Future Fresh, January 2017), Dora (Stroke of Midnight Mystery Box, December 2016), Venus Was Her Name

Groove Thang is actually pretty close, albeit a bit darker, but if you have that one lying around you don’t need Delaney. Dressed to the Nineties is different but if you like one you’ll like the other.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Fallon (Party Girls) - Part 2

From left to right: Adeline (Endless Summer, August 2016), Miami Nice (Color-holic, Holiday 2011), Last Call (Sunset Strip, Holiday 2016), Fallon, Sexy Silhouette (Fashion Lounge, Summer 2004), The More the Berrier (Seas and Greetings, Holiday 2016), Light My Tiki (Caribbean Temptations, Summer 2004), Ariel (Smitten, Summer 2007), Faith (Jewels), Life of the Party (Retro Revival, Winter 2016), Skate Night (Retro Diva, Autumn 2009), Marjorie (Redbook Trio, Holiday 2015), Stella (Retro Diva, Autumn 2009). Swatch Stick: China Glaze Better Not Pout (Cheers! Holiday 2015)

I was surprised how little I had to compare to Fallon, which is surprising because I love this color! It’s slightly darker than Miami Nice, Last Call, or Sexy Silhouette, less foily than The More the Berrier, darker than Light My Tiki, Ariel, or Faith, and less red the rest of the stuff on the right. The closest I have is Better Not Pout but it’s less purple.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Fallon (Party Girls) - Part 1

From left to right: Shut Up and Dance (Cool for the Summer, Summer 2017), Mandy (Wanderlust, Summer 2017), Always a Flirt (Spring 2014), Diva Driver (Fast Lane), Flashbulb Fuchsia (Brights, Summer 2005), Rose My Name (Summer Reign, Summer 2017), Lainey (Drenched, July 2015), Fallon, After Sex (Luscious, Autumn 2004), Chasing Rubies (Lady in Red, Autumn 2017), Jacqueline (Deep End, June 2015), Dora (Stroke of Midnight Mystery Box, December 2016), Millie (Charming, Spring 2017)

Fallon’s closest relative here is After Sex, which is not quite as pink. Lainey is also similar, but the finish isn’t quite the same and it’s less red.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Tawny (Party Girls) - Part 2

From left to right: Mercedes (Light and Shadow, November 2016), Leggy Legend (Leggy Legend, Autumn 2015), Tatiana (Cityscape, September 2013), Louisa May (Citrine for November, November 2015), Virginia (All Night Long, December 2015), What’s the Password? (Secret Society, Holiday 2013), Harvest Moon (Hunger Games, Spring 2012), Foxy (Vintage Vixen, Autumn 2010), Channing (Satins, Autumn 2013), Evangeline (Magique, Autumn 2006), Tawny, Autumn (Ignite, Autumn 2014), Ivy (Magique, Autumn 2006), Mercedes (Classics), Gloria (Flame, Holiday 2010), Ya Got Trouble (I Gotta Be Me, Holiday 2014)

Tawny is really close to Evangeline so if you’ve had that one in your stash for a while you can skip out on Tawny. It’s a lot redder than contemporary Zoyas Channing and Autumn. It’s fleckier than Foxy and redder than Harvest Moon.

Holdiay 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Tawny (Party Girls) - Part 1

From Left to Right: Clubbin’ Till Sunrise (South Beach, Spring 2009), Anastasia (Magique, Autumn 2006), Phoenix Rising (Rock This Town, Holiday 2012), Overture (A Night at the Opera, Autumn 2013), Tawny, Wrapped in Rubies (Winter 2007), Pacita (Future Fresh, January 2017), Velvet Kaleidoscope (Velvet Dream, Autumn 2017), Space Cadet (Cosmic FX, Autumn 2010), Strike Up a Cosmo (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), Showstopper (Winter 2007)

Anastasia is a very similar finish, but it’s a lot browner toned and less orange. Phoenix Rising is in the same neighborhood, but the finish is more foily and more gold toned. Overture is really close, close enough you don’t need both, although the shimmer is a bit more green toned. Wrapped in Rubies is a bit more brown toned and more metallic. Pacita has a similar color palette but its finish is very different, it’s a lot sheerer.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Nadia (Party Girls) - Part 2

From left to right: Goldie (Dramatic, February 2014), Leo (Zodiac, August 2016), Cheryl (Very Merry, Holiday 2015), Katrina (Bow on Top, Holiday 2015), Million Dollar Views (Mulholland, Autumn 2016), Cruisin’ (Retro Diva, Autumn 2009), Bling (Sparkle, Holiday 2014), I Herd That (On Safari, Autumn 2012), Nadia, Alma & Jesy (Bubbly, Summer 2014), Maria Luisa (Satins, Autumn 2013), Trisha (Fuchsia Fizzy Mystery Box, August 2015)

Nothing here is exactly like Nadia – Nadia is an orange toned gold sheer topper that’s not a flakie. They’re either a similar color (Cruisin’), a similar finish (Goldie) or a fellow gold topper but chunkier (Maria Luisa and Trisha) but nothing is exactly like Nadia.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Nadia (Party Girls) - Part 1

From left to right: Andrea (Glitterati, December 2013), Star Studded (Gala Bolds, Summer 2017), Nadia, Marisol (Bask in the Heat, June 2017), Goldie But Goodie (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013)

The only thing here close to Nadia is Marisol, which is noticeably less orange toned and more true gold. They’re both at about equal sheerness so I’d say you don’t need both.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Solstice (Party Girls) - Part 2

From left to right: Ablaze (Baked, Summer 2014), Pisces (Zodiac, March 2016), Amy (Irresistible, Summer 2013), Riveting (Hunger Games, Spring 2012), Cherry Bomb (Core), Annie (Chit-Chat, Summer 2008), Aries (Zodiac, April 2016), Sunset Blvd (Sunset Strip, Holiday 2016), Y’all Red-y for This? (Rebel, Autumn 2016), Aphrodite (Paradise Sun, Summer 2015), I Eat Maine-ly Lobster (Touring America, Autumn 2011), Go with the Lava Flow (Hawaii, Spring 2015), Solstice, Kimber (Surf, Summer 2012), Adeline (Endless Summer, August 2016), Pink Lemonade (Core)

Solstice is actually almost dead on a dupe to Go with the Lava Flow, and it’s close to I Eat Maine-ly Lobster (Solstice is darker), Kimber (Solstice is more orange), and Aphrodite (Aphrodite is more of a glass fleck finish)

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Solstice (Party Girls) - Part 1

From left to right: Pam (Endless Summer, August 2016), Jacqueline (Deep End, June 2015), Riley (Rainbow Bright, May 2016), Journey (Wanderlust, Summer 2015), Solstice, Elsie (Bask in the Heat, June 2017), Shut Up and Dance (Cool for the Summer, Summer 2017), Fabulous Flamingo (Color ID 2, Spring 2007)

Elsie is a holographic but I pulled it out because it’s almost dead on in the base color. Journey is also very similar, but it’s pinker and a lot more metallic. Riley is also similar but again pinker and the shimmer is different. Jacqueline is in the same neighborhood but it’s a lot more red. Pam is too orange to compare and it’s also a holo, and Shut Up and Dance and Fabulous Flamingo are too pink.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Danielle (Party Girls) - Part 2

From left to right: Matilda (Midsummer Light, June 2016), Avenue Maintain (Madison Ave-Hue, Spring 2013), Super Trop-i-cal-i-fiji-istic (Fiji, Spring 2017), Sia (Focus, Autumn 2015), Indie (In the Mix, Autumn 2015), Danielle, I Know What Boys Like (Summer 2011), Sailor (Cashmeres, Autumn 2013), Natty (Designer, Autumn 2012), Mirajane (Ultrabrites, Summer 2016), Octavia (Dramatic, February 2014), Arielle (New York Never Sleeps, October 2015)

Danielle is quite close to my rather sorry-looking bottle of Indie, it’s just a bit lighter, and I Know What Boys Like, it’s just a bit brighter.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Danielle (Party Girls) - Part 1

From left to right: As If (As If, Autumn 2017), Route 66 (Desert Valley, Autumn 2015), My Boyfriend’s Back (Happy Days, Summer 2016), Sara (Kisses, London, September 2015), Danielle, Queen B (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), Born to Rule (Street Regal, Autumn 2013), Blue Suede (Velvet Dream, Autumn 2013), Less is Norse (Autumn 2017), Smoke Gets in Your Eyes (After Midnight, Autumn 2016), Hadley (Sophisticates, Autumn 2017), Cynthia (Smoke, Autumn 2011)

The only thing really close to Danielle here is Queen B, which is still a lot darker.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Landon (Party Girls) - Part 2

From left to right: I Manicure for Beads (New Orleans, Spring 2016), Hello Hawaii Ya (Hawaii, Spring 2015), All Aboard (All Aboard, Autumn 2014), Shade On (Lounge Lover, Spring 2016), Mira (Summertime, Summer 2011), Sylvia (Garden Party, August 2013), Grape Pop (Up & Away, Spring 2010), Mix and Mingle (Cheers! Holiday 2015), Landon, Tara (Urban Grunge, Autumn 2016), Monica (Designer, Autumn 2012), A Grape Affair (Coca Cola, Summer 2014), Crown Velvet (Her Majesty, Holiday 2016)

Now, my tastes for the most part err towards cooler toned purples like Mora or Mix and Mingle, so the only thing here that comes close is Tara, which is darker and more berry toned. I Manicure for Beads way over on the left is too bright and everything else is too cool.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Landon (Party Girls) - Part 1

From left to right: Tina (Charming, Spring 2017), Lois (Wanderlust, Summer 2017), After the Glow (Sunrise Sunset, Summer 2017), Audrina (Gossip, Summer 2008), Pamplona Purple (Spain, Autumn 2009), Landon, Dawn of a New Reign (Street Regal, Autumn 2017), Purple Haze (Star Power, Autumn 2017), O Suzi Mio (Venice, Autumn 2015), Margarita (Black Magic, August 2014), Karina (Neon Nights, July 2017), Queen B (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), All Access Pass (Neons 2015)

Landon is sort of on the bridge between the light purples and the dark purples here. It errs towards the lights but it is the darkest. I think if you dropped a bit of Dawn of a New Reign into Pamplona Purple you’d get Landon.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Kelsey (Party Girls) - Part 2

From left to right: Laurel (Petals, Spring 2016), Delhi Dance (Going Guru, Resort 2016), Beauty School Dropout (Happy Days, Summer 2016), Shelby (Beach, Summer 2012), Eden (Delight, Spring 2015), Jolene (Flash, Summer 2010), Randi (Paradise, April 2015), Kelsey, Brynn (Sunsets, Summer 2016), Whitney (Gossip, Summer 2008), Mallory (Into the Sea, July 2016), Rich & Famous (Monte Carlo, Spring 2004), Layla (Classics), Hey Baby (Gwen Stefani, Spring 2014), Apartment for Two (Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Holiday 2016), Morgan (Classics), Risky Behavior (Adrenaline Rush, Summer 2015)

The stuff on either end is way off but the stuff in the middle is super close. Surprisingly, Kelsey’s two closest relatives here, Brynn and Whitney, are both also Zoyas.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Kelsey (Party Girls) - Part 1

From left to right: Jordan (Charming, Spring 2017), Belle of a Baller (Pastels, Spring 2017), Malibu Pier Pressure (California Dreaming, Summer 2017), Kiss Me I’m Brazilian (Brazil, Spring 2014), Winnie (Wanderlust, Summer 2017), Elephantastic Pink (India, Spring 2008), Kelsey, Dusk and Summer (Sunrise Sunset, Summer 2017)

The only thing in this lot that even comes close to comparing is Dusk and Summer, which is just a hair darker.
