How very fitting for a polish that shares a name with Ivanka Trump.Ĭharla has that watery “mermaid” look like the blue-green glitter Deborah Lippmann will be debuting this fall. I swatched a bunch of different shades trying to find a base color match and the closest I found would be if I combined Sally Hansen Emerald City and Rimmel Camouflage though neither one has Ivanka’s glamour. Though the fact that I have not one green that matches its light emerald base was surprising. I knew Ivanka would win my heart before I even saw her in person. That’s when the metallic glitter comes into play, giving them more of a foil-esque finish than the ChG glass flecks with that “lit from within” look. The polish applies much like the China Glaze glass flecked formula except that when it dries it loses its jelly quality. Nidhi is the lone exception to that rule as she is much more pigmented though slightly less flashy. Of course, if you’re more heavy handed with your polish application you could probably get away with two coats but I find that thicker layers lead to chipping so I prefer to keep them thin. The Sparkle formula is still semi-sheer but with three thin coats, they are completely opaque. So it’s a fine balance and Zoya has definitely toed the line. The problem with glitter polishes is that if the base gets too thick with pigment, the glitter fades to the background or leaves you with a chunky, bumpy mess. What makes the Sparkle collection stand out amongst other colors in this genre is the pigmentation. I want to break out the jazz hands and fan kicks just thinking about it.Ĭheck out the girls, Ivanka, Charla, Mimi, Alegra, Nidhi and Gilda, after the jump! Together they make for one killer combo of bling and glitz that will razzle dazzle you a la Chicago. With this first of two Summer 2010 collections, Zoya has combined the twinkling beauty of the China Glaze glass flecked formula with the foil-like metallic glitter as seen in the Orly Foil FX collection. Even the reds and pinks which is so unlike me. I predicted when I saw the promo images that I would find some must-haves in the bunch but seriously they’re all winners. In Blue, Fuchsia, Glitter, Green, Pink, Purple, Red, Summer 2010, Teal, Zoya The Zoya Sparkle collection has completely wowed me.
