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.

Summer 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Lois (Wanderlust)




From left to right: Candy Shop (Sugar High, Spring 2015), Hello Hawaii Ya (Hawaii, Spring 2015), London (Afterglow, February 2015), Spontaneous (Flirt, Spring 2005), Tina (Charming, Spring 2017), Lois, Audrina (Gossip, Summer 2008), Drunk in Love (Color Fever, Summer 2014), Mira (Summertime, Summer 2011), Shade On (Lounge Lover, Spring 2016)

Lois falls nicely between Tina and Audrina, if you have both of them you don’t need Lois.

Summer 2017 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann After the Glow (Sunrise Sunset)


I didn’t get Zoya Liv from last summer but I get the sense they’d be very close!





From left to right: Shade On (Lounge Lover, Spring 2016), Candy Shop (Sugar High, Spring 2015), London (Afterglow, February 2015), Paige (Uptown, Autumn 2007), Spontaneous (Flirt, Spring 2005), Tina (Charming, Spring 2017), After the Glow, Gothic Lolita (Electropop, Spring 2012), I Manicure for Beads (New Orleans, Spring 2016), Drunk in Love (Color Fever, Summer 2014), Crown Velvet (Her Majesty, Holiday 2016). Subset: I Manicure for Beads, After the Glow, Drunk in Love

Shade On is way too blue and Crown Velvet is too dark but I thought you would want to see them. Candy Shop is far too grayed, and London to a lesser extent. Paige has a bit too much red in it to compare but they have a lot of the same undertones. Spontaneous, Gothic Lolita (which also has shimmer), and Tina are a bit too cool to properly compare. Drunk in Love is the closest thing in Lippmann’s line, and it’s pretty close but it has a bit more red to it. I Manicure for Beads is almost a dead-on dupe. If I’m being nitpicky, After the Glow is lighter but you don’t need both.
