Comparisons: Christmas Greens (Zoya Chita vs. Elphie & Zoya Merida vs. Picture Polish Kryptonite)

(Press samples and affiliate links ahead!)

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!
