It's almost the weekend again. Are the days flying by or what? Yesterday I painted my nails with Zoya Faye. It's been pretty sunny out lately, so I thought I'd take some pics after class today. I noticed that Zoya Rica's base color was more visible in sunlight, and the shimmer looked like fire. So I kind of regretted not getting pics of her in sunlight. But now I know why it's called the Sunshine collection! As luck would have it, there was not a hint of sun today. So here are my pics of Faye indoors. Not very happy with them, but oh well. Hopefully, there will more sunny days soon.
Faye is a red toned purple base with a complex array of shimmers: copper, gold, orange, green, red. The coppery gold shimmer is more dominant, but within it you can see some orange, green, and red. I used 3 coats and application was good. As you can see, you can see my tips. I know I made sure to cover them, so I think that's result of shrinkage from Seche Vite. Boo :( Drying time was a little long too. I don't know if it was because I used 3 coats, but I accidentally crinkled one of my fingers about an hour after application. It was like the top was dry but the inside was not. The good thing is I was able to smooth it out, and it looked like it never happened. I think this polish also chips a bit easily. I don't know if that's because of the shrinkage or not. Overall, I really love this as a color. It's very complex and unique.
Hopefully, I'll be able to get some better pics of Faye once the sun decides to come back out again. ^ ^
Gorgeous shimmer in Faye! Definitely on my want/need list.
