Hi friends! Today I am sharing the newest release from Zoya. For Summer 2024 Zoya is releasing 6 new BRIGHT shades as well as re-releasing last year’s Beachy Brights collection. This year however all of the Beachy Brights shades are available in full size bottles!
I picked this collection up from the Zoya website along with the May Color Of The Month. It is available now on the Zoya site as well as on the Ulta website. As far as I am aware, this collection is not limited edition.
All of the creams in this collection dry down to a satin/matte finish, my photos include top coat! If you are like me and felt super disappointed by the glitters in the spring collection. Zoya knocks these glitters out the park, they are reminiscent of glitters from last year’s Enamored collection!

Zoya is a US based mainstream brand. Their polishes are in 15ml bottles, 10 free, vegan and cruelty free.
Bohdi
Description: A ultra-bright Portland Orange cream
My photos show Bohdi in 3 coats plus glossy top coat. This one dries down a little bit more sheer than it initially applies so I am going to call it a 2-3 coater depending on personal preference.
Brinkley
Description: An ultra-bright raspberry magenta cream
Brinkley I LOVE how bright this color is! Formula was a little bit thicker than I was expecting but thanks to that thickness, it was also a lot more opaque than I was expecting as well.
There is a very faint blue shimmer in this polish. It’s more obvious in the bottle than on the nail.
My photos show Brinkley in 2 coats plus glossy top coat.
Cove
Description: A holographic tropical teal with green reflections
My photos show Cove in 2 coats plus 2 coats of top coat. I am going to call this one a 2-3 coater depending on your personal preference and application style. I ended up liking this one more in 3 coats than I do in two though.
You get a TON of sparkle action thanks to the holographic glitters and they do distract from seeing your nail line. If you look for your nail line, you will be able to see it.
Make sure to use the soak off method as these do dry down textured and will make removal difficult.
This is pretty similar to Zoya’s Lennon (Enamored Fall 2023). Think of Cove as a bright sister polish. They aren’t dupes but are fairly similar.
I figured to throw in a comparison to Sparrow (Y2K Holiday 2022) for good measure. Different base colors and Sparrow has a glitter mix.
Georgie
Description: A vibrant summer red with a holographic glitter finish
Georgie was a little bit more sheer than Vita. This is the only one of the glitter polishes in the collection that I would say is a solid 3 coater.
My photos show Georgie in 3 coats plus 2 coats of glossy top coat. One more time, do NOT scrub this one off!
Taji
Description: A vibrant lemon yellow cream
There is an incredibly delicate shimmer than runs through this polish but you mostly can only see it in the bottle.
For a yellow creme, the formula was pretty good. A little bit streaky but not surprisingly so.
My photos show Taji in 3 coats plus glossy top coat. I will call this one a 2-3 coater depending on your application.
Vita
Description: A reflective pink with a shimmering holographic finish
I knew this polish was going to knock my socks off because PANK is life but damn Zoya knocked it out the park with this.
glitter dries down with some texture. i used 2 coats of top coat andfound my nails a little gritty the following day. i use 2 coats of vita.
I got a few questions on how similar Vita is to Holo Taco’s Life In Plastic (4th Anniversary Retro Collection). They are similar in the sense that both are hot pinks with holographic glitter. Vita however has a larger sized glitter and delicate shimmer. Life In Plastic has since been discontinued so Vita would scratch the itch if you are in the market for a bright holographic pink.
Final Thoughts
I am surprised to say how much I really enjoyed this collection. Why the surprise? I’m not sure honestly. I didn’t have strong feels in either direction when I bought this to review. I was largely just happy that these weren’t minis and I was really hoping the glitters would have good formulas.
I feel like out of all of the mainstream summer collections, this was the most summer-y of the bunch. I love how bright everything is. So no complaints out of me!
My top picks are going to be Vita, Cove and Brinkley.
