Everlasting Collection for Fall 2024 - Bottle and Swatch Stick Comparisons

Hi Friends 

Long time no post, apologises, I was taking as much time outside in the sunshine as possible given what a rubbish start to the summer we had.

Today I'm sharing my swatch stick and bottle comparisons for the new Everlasting collection for Fall 2024.

Names are as follows 

Annabelle, Cosette, Franny, Henley, Opal (reuse) and Ondine.

I was thinking this palette reminded me of the Toasty collection from spring 2023 but that was actually a more grey brown toned collection. Check out my comparison and review here.

Toasty Comparisons

As always the new polish is first left, I never colour correct, only crop and add my watermark, it was kinda over cast today.

I figured we'd do a comparison of Tucker the August polish of the month as I did order her.

Left to right Tucker, Yummy and Marisol, no dupes Tucker is a teeny bit lighter in tone than Yummy, Yummy is discontinued.

Left to right Opal, Chelsea, Erika and the original Opal, no dupes, Erika has a peach undertone and Chelsea is a cream.  The flakie on the end is the original use of the name Opal from the Fleck Effect collection from spring 2012.

Left to right Franny, Gwen and Jordan, no dupes, this is close though between Gwen and Franny, Franny has a tiny bit more brown undertone, Jordan is much more pink leaning. Gwen is from the Abundance collection in 2022.

Left to right Henley, Brianna and Arielle, no dupes, but its close between Brianna and Henley, with Henley having a slightly deeper undertone, Arielle is deeper again but she is also discontinued. Brianna was from Enamoured in 2023.

Left to right Cosette, Twinklette and Fairleigh, no dupes, Twinklette has a taupie/brown undertone and Fairleigh has a lilac undertone.

Left to right Annabelle, Arianna and Blaze, no dupes, these three are all different finishes, Arianna is a pixiedust and Blaze is a scattered holographic, Arianna is discontinued.

Left to right Ondine, Pamela and Gabi, this is tricky, Pamela is a teeny bit brighter in the bottle and on the swatch stick, Pamela is only available in a petite bottle on the Zoya website at present, Gabi has a red undertone.

So there you have it, what do we think? Its an interesting selection for a fall collection, although we are getting a second collection in September, for me this would have worked better as a winter/spring collection, I get the everlasting angle these are chic timeless colours.

  1. These are lovely. Annabelle and Cosette are gorgeous. Sunshine....what's that? Haha we've had no summer up here at all. Rain, rain and more rain and high winds. Been a wash-out this summer. We've not had 2 days in a row without rain! It is meant to be nice at the weekend but I am working so who knows!

    3. The cats are grand, Obi still thinks the dark is for when he should sing the song of his people loudly and Ellie just thinks I am her personal pillow at bed time :)

  2. Thanks for the comparison! It's an interesting collection. I feel like a lot of their recent collections have had very similar tones and finishes, but I supposes those are just what's trending right now. I like Opal 2 and Anabelle, but seeing the latter next to Blaze I think maybe I like Blaze more. Glad you got to enjoy some sunshine!

    1. I agree, I thought when they did that Sunset collection we were gonna start seeing some interesting colour options but they slipped back into traditional, safe colours, I want them to try new things, I need more greens, yellows and oranges from them, my Zoya wall is super pink, red and purple heavy lol

    2. The Sunset Palette was lovely! And I feel it's all still very "wearable"—even Honey, which is gorgeous! I would love a holo yellow, or an orange in that metallic finish like Ember, Estelle, Giada, Koley, etc. Ah well.

      Delete
    3. A yellow scattered holo would be epic and a juicy bright green to match Merida too :) not forgetting an orange lol A glowy orange like Ember would be awesome :)

    4. Ooh, yes!!! I have almost a full rainbow in the metallic finish—Ember, Goldie, Tabitha, Estelle, Giada and Koley. I don’t have an orange though!

    5. Would Amy fit in or Gwin? I love those two, both lovely fiery oranges.

      Delete
    6. I have Amy! I love her too, but she's a bit too flaky/chunky as opposed to the silken smooth metallics :/

      Delete
    7. H yeah, I know what you mean, we can only hope that maybe something in the new collection could be a metallic orange.

    8. Ooh, yes! It would suit too, being autumn! Thank you :)
