It's summer. It's hot. I wanted a hot color on my nails. This is a great shade of pink. It's a purple-y, reddish, super bright neon color. Which totally didn't photograph well. Wearing this reminds me of my high school days working at OfficeMax... We had a whole aisle of colored paper, and a huge portion was neon. This is the exact shade of the neon fuschia we had there. So pretty...
Application was odd, but from what I've read, typical of a neon. The first coat was pretty blotchy. The second coat evened it out very nicely. It dried quickly, but completely matte. I'm talking zero shine. A coat of Poshe fixed that problem right up. If you enlarge the pic, you can see that I got a little hurried and got some bald spots near the cuticle. :( Very bothersome. You'd think I would learn to go slower. The above pic is the second day of the mani, and you can see that I've already got tip wear. That is really odd for Zoya polishes and I, as they usually last for days. I think Zoya is my fav. I've yet to meet one of their formulas I didn't like, and I absolutely love their brush!
That tip wear is driving me crazy, and I chipped my polish on a bed today at the office. I think I'll put on another color tonight, just not sure which...
It's so interesting to me that you get such great wear out of Zoya, because I don't (as much as I love their polish). I have more trouble with shrinkage with Zoya than any other brand - but I haven't tried the Poshe topcoat yet. I do love their brush too!
ReplyDelete@Gail - which topcoat do you use? Zoyas typically don't play nicely with non-4-free topcoats (Seche Vite especially). I get horrid shrinkage with Seche Vite, but no problems with Poshe. Then again, body chemistry plays a big role in polish wear, too
ReplyDeleteI mostly use China Glaze Fast Forward or Essie Good to Go - both of which should be 3 or 4-free. Right now I'm wearing Zoya Rica (LOVE!) and I used CND Speedey with good results. I seem to have more shrinkage problems with the Zoya cremes.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about the body chemistry thing. Could you do a post on it sometime telling us what you know?
