My 16yo daughter began this nail polish journey with me, but lives life in the fast lane. So unlike my nail tutorial, she wants to paint and go. And Zoya's Sasha--a deep jelly-like red--didn't cut it for her. So I inherited it. Yay me! I had been digging thru all the Zoya Reds trying to find the right one--and here it was!
I also heard rumblings on blogs about this mystical Nubar 2010 that had flakies very much like the sought after Nfu Oh flakies. It looks clear. The flakes have maybe a tiny hint of color so you can see them in the base but that's it. Only when you layer it over a darker color does the magic begin :)
Behold: Zoya Sasha + Nubar 2010:
I thought my wall made a great backdrop--if you click on the photos to make them larger, you can see the yellow to orange flakies pop!
The light from my lamp and the flash really make a difference in how the color changes.
With the light/flash and without....the color on the right is much more true to Sasha's darker red. But you can see the little yellow and orange flakies swimming around!
Finally I had to hold my nails up to the Don Juan roses Hubby cut for me--he gave me the rosebush nearly 18 years ago when we moved into the house.
What are you wearing today?
