Zoya ~ Reva

Zoya ~ Reva  

Strawberry red packed with golden glass flecks, almost multichromic

It’s Zoya themselves that describe Reva as strawberry red. Here’s the exact description: A cool toned strawberry red with glowing golden metallic sparkle.  A very rich and luxurious looking gilded red.

I don’t totally agree on that. It’s red, yes, but the golden metallic fleck makes the polish look almost like a multi chrome! I’ll get back to that shortly.

The formula was a dream to work with. I’ll almost call it self-applying polish! It was pretty much opaque in one coat, but I gave it two, to cover the last couple of thin spots. Drying time was pretty much average.

Here’s a pic taken in the sunshine. The metallic flecks make it glisten like crazy, and the golden glow disappers completely and makes it my kind of polish. You should know by now that I prefer silver to gold, also when it comes to nail polish. 

Here’s an indoor shot. The golden glow is now visible, and when I twist and turn my fingers, the polish looks multi chromic – shifting from red to golden and magenta. 

Here’s a pic taken from a different angle. I like the structure of this polish, I find it very pretty. 

I stamped on it, using Konad’s white stamping polish and Mash stamping plates, number 45 for the swirly design and number 49 for the stars.

Then I topped it with a layer of CND Sapphire Sparkle to bring back the shine and sparkle to the mani!

I am unable to decide whether I like this or not. I like the white and red together, but perhaps there’s a bit too much going on with my nails? Please let me hear your thoughts!
