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.
