Island Fun collection 2015 |
For me the consistency of the formulas was a little all over the map. Let's jump in.
First up is Jace. Zoya calls this a "tropical green". Its definitely darker than Tilda from last years summer collection, but in the same color family. Tilda is more of a lime green and this is a darker almost olive green. The formula was thin and watery, it took 3 coats for me. Its a little darker on the nail than in the bottle.

Next is Cecilia. This is a classic teal color and seriously one of my favorite colors lately. But hoooo boy this is a stainer. It's not her fault though, most blues and greens are! I wore ridge filling base coat and it still stained when I took it off. A quick scrub with a toothbrush and toothpaste took most of it off. I have since found out since I swatched these that a peel off basecoat will prevent staining-and I tried it, it does! My problem is peel off base coats don't last more than a day on me. This color is GORGEOUS, just be aware! This is 2 coats.

Next is Demetria, a really bright cherry tomato red (Zoya calls it Poppy red). I'm not super in to reds but this shade is surprisingly wearable for me! I will definitely be wearing this on my toes as well! This formula was similar to Jace, a little thinner and took 3 coats. But look how shiny!

Last is Serenity, a really pretty medium shade purple. This is a staple for all collections! It photographed a little darker than it is, purples are so difficult like that! Perfect in 2 coats.
