Happy Saturday nailphiles!

It’s finally time! if any of you have seen my collection (or even browsed my polish list here) you may have guessed I’m slightly addicted to Zoya polishes. I’ve always loved the colors and finishes Zoya produces – I’ve bought almost every polish that has come out since my polish problem started in October, and have also acquired MANY of their older polishes… So when they announced the Tickled & Bubbly collections, you can imagine my excitement.

Sadly, my self-inflicted ‘no buy’ policy delayed my acquisition of these summer beauties until last week… but they’re finally here!

I think the biggest source of my excitement is the Bubbly portion of the summer collection. While up until this point, I’ve never really been a glitter girl – these beautiful jelly-based polishes are filled with both micro-glitter and iridescent glitter – and have converted me to a glitter lover. But first… lets start with Zoya’s Tickled collection – the creme polish portion of the summer collection (all shown with base coat, 2 coats of polish, and topcoat).

Kitridge – bright bubblegum pink creme polish – this one was a little streaky on the first coat, but evens out after the second coat.

– bright bubblegum pink creme polish – this one was a little streaky on the first coat, but evens out after the second coat. Rooney – light magenta/raspberry pink creme polish – I LOVED this color. It had a great formula, and I cant wait to use this polish this summer!

Wendy – a pink-coral creme polish – this polish was a little streaky on the first coat, like Kitridge , but evened out on the second coat. Usually corals and I don’t get along very well because of my skin tone, but the pink tones in this polish were very nice

– a pink-coral creme polish – this polish was a little streaky on the first coat, like , but evened out on the second coat. Usually corals and I don’t get along very well because of my skin tone, but the pink tones in this polish were very nice Rocha – a red-toned orange creme with a slight shimmer – this is a very bright and summery creme with a good formula. The shimmer in Rocha is very subtle, I didn’t even notice it until my second coat of polish

Tilda – a bright yellow-toned green creme – the photo above makes this look quite a few shades darker than it appears on your nails, but is a nice summery green with a great formula

– a bright yellow-toned green creme – the photo above makes this look quite a few shades darker than it appears on your nails, but is a nice summery green with a great formula Ling – a bright blue creme – this was a great polish, very bright and opaque with a great formula once again.

The Zoya Tickled line has some great polishes, but I found myself wishing there was a bit more diversity – maybe a yellow and/or orange to match up more evenly with the shades in the Bubbly collection. As always, Zoya really nails (pun totally intended) their creme polishes with the exception of some small streaking problems that are easily corrected with a second coat.

You know what else Zoya nailed (I just cant help myself!)? The Bubbly collection. This is FANTASTIC. As I mentioned, these beautiful polishes are jam-packed with micro-glitter and small iridescent glitter pieces that match their colored jelly base. Sadly, these beauties are a little camera-shy.

Harper and Binx – although these two polishes look very similar in the photo above, Harper is a bright bubblegum pink and Binx is more of a purple/raspberry toned pink. both of these glitters match up well with their Tickled counterparts, Kitridge and Rooney.

Jesy – an orange/coral glitter

– an orange/coral glitter Alma – a yellow/orange glitter

Stassi – a medium grass-green glitter

– a medium grass-green glitter Muse – a bright blue with gold shimmer

If you haven’t quite caught on yet, I really enjoyed the Bubbly collection! I wish there were cremes in the Tickled collection that went with Jesy and Alma though, that was a bit of a disappointment. As an added bonus, i’ve got a swatch wheel showing the combination of Tickled and Bubbly polishes together!

Overall, i’m very pleased with both of Zoya’s summer collections, as usual. These are really great polishes, and it didn’t hurt that I got them for 15% off at HB Beauty Bar! I can’t wait to try out some nail art with these pretties this weekend, stay tuned to see what I come up with!
