Hello!
I recently had a viewer ask me to do a comparison of Zoya Elphie, one of the new Zoya Pixies, and Zoya Chita, a previous Pixie. Also, when I saw Zoya Merida a while back, it reminded me of Picture Polish Kryptonite, so I've been wanting to do a comparison of those two, and today is the day!
Let's start out with Zoya Chita vs. Zoya Elphie...Here they are in the bottle:

Yep, there's clearly a difference, let's see how much:

Chita is definitely lighter and has a more mossy feel to it, while Elphie is a darker forest green. Both gorgeous, both special, and they both deserve a place in your polish wardrobe.
So how about Picture Polish Kryptonite and Zoya Merida?

Hmmm...these two are pretty close...let's see them on the nail:

These two are definitely closer. Zoya has a higher concentration of holo particles, and has a slightly bluer tinge, while Kryptonite had a purer forest green and a slightly less dense concentration of holo particles. But, if Kryptonite's higher price makes your wallet go owie, Merida will do you just fine.
Happy polishing!

So helpful to see these polishes compared here.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle :P ..now I need (well, want) them all! OMG, so stunning! But "lucky me" these are a bit difficult (meaning: pricey) to get, my wallet can breathe a sigh of relief... *sniff* *sad face*
