Zoya Rica vs. Spoiled Shrimp on the Barbie

I try not to buy nail polishes that are similar to ones I already own, but since I am drawn to the same color over and over, it is inevitable I will eventually end up with some dupes.  I think I have found a Zoya Rica dupe in Spoiled's Shrimp on the Barbie.

Shrimp on the Barbie is a little bit pinker in the bottle, but on the nails I don't see a discernible difference.

They both have a dark hot pink base with a ton of fine gold glitter.  Neither apply or remove like a gritty glitter polish.  The glitter almost seems like sparkly shimmer.


For these photos, I have Zoya Rica on my index, middle, and pinkie fingers, and Spoiled Shrimp on the Barbie on my ring finger.

I don't think my photos show just how pretty and sparkly these polishes are.

Zoya nail polishes are $8, and Spoiled polishes are $1.99 at CVS.

Zoya Nail Polish in Venus Swatches

Another Zoya polish today!  This one is called Venus.

Venus is a cool, metallic lavender with blue and silver shimmer.  It looks bluer in indoor light, and pinker in natural light.

Zoya Nail Polish in Happi Swatches

Zoya makes what seems like a million nail colors.  There are just so many from which to choose!  I have Happi to show you today.

Happi is a medium bright pink duochrome with gold shimmer and a slight green shift.

This applies very smoothy and dries quite quickly.  It was totally dry with two coats after about 10 minutes.  This color was opaque after two coats.  The brush is a narrow round brush.  Honestly, I prefer more flat, wide brush because then you can cover the nail with fewer brush strokes.

I think this is a really cool, unusual color that is great for spring and summer.  I looks sort of glassy on the nails I think due to the complex shimmer colors in it.
