Enchanted Holiday 2016 Collection

I have several Winter/Holiday mainstream polish collections to share with you in the coming days, and to start off I have the Zoya Enchanted Holiday 2016 Collection.

This is a 6 piece collection that has 4 PixieDust formulas and 2 lovely shimmery shades. I do have each PixieDust to share with you that has top coat and without, so you can see it both ways, so there are extra photos for this post.

Let’s take a look

Elphie

Elphie is a deep emerald green textured shade with green microglitters added in. I used 2 coats and no top coat for these photos. A few photos down, you’ll see this shade with top coat as well, then a side by side split image.

Lorna

Lorna is a deep berry textured polish with dark pink microglitters mixed in. I used 2 coats and no top coat for these photos. A few photos down, you’ll see this shade with top coat as well, then a side by side split image.

Lorna never dried down to a full matte look for me. While it’s not glossy, it looks wet still, even when it’s not.

Waverly

Waverly is a deep sapphire blue texture polish with blue microglitter mixed in. I used 2 coats and no top coat for these photos.

Alice

Alice is my favorite PixieDust of the 4! This is a medium periwinkle textured polish with magenta and blue microglitters mixed in. I used 2 coats and no top coat for these photos.

Saint

Saint is a medium periwinkle creme base with violet pink shimmer. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Olivera

Olivera is my #1 pick from the entire collection. I really love shimmer shades, especially with deep bases and vibrant shimmer that gives it a glowy effect. Olivera is a deep indigo creme base with green to purple shimmer shift. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

The shimmer mainly shows green and the purple shift is there, but the indigo base makes it incredibly subtle.

Zoya Enchanted Holiday 2016 Collection Overview

I like the mix of PixieDusts and shimmer shades in one collection. I do still love PixieDusts, but I think I’m growing out of the texture phase in general. Only 1 of the PixieDusts really got me excited and that was Alice. The other 3 are lovely, but I wasn’t overly excited about them. I actually prefer Waverly, Lorna and Elphie with top coat and usually I like PixieDusts as is, so that was a telling sign that I could have done without. The shimmers were my top picks of the bunch. I had no application issues with any of the shades.
