-Such a rich turquoise-green!
I knew when I bought this it would be one of my favorite turquoises...and it is. It is totally gorgeous under lamplight and under sunlight, it is dazzling. I needed three coats for pure opacity, but I was okay with that...I usually do thin coats so it was okay and I`m used to that with Zoya. Great, great color and I love it!

Zoya Nail Polish | CharlaDazzling
I used to be pretty conservative when it came to nail polishes. Reds, pinks, browns.... Until I discovered Zoya... Charla looked so beautiful on my nails, I couldn`t stop looking at it. It looks more green than blue. Actually a mix of both colors, like a peacock color. Just amazing! Two coats did the trick. I didn`t put any base and this color did stain my nails. However, buffing took care of the stains and next time I will use the base coat. One of my favorites!

Like other reviewers- it`s definitely a lot more green that the picture shows. When the bottle arrived I was disappointed but when I put it on -it is amazing and I`m really glad I got it! Beautiful color.

Zoya Nail Polish | CharlaA great Mermaid-y color
This polish, while gorgeous, is definitely more green than blue. Perfect application, beautiful fine glitter, but I wish it was a bit more blue.

Zoya Nail Polish | Charlamermaid-y perfection
I am a sucker for anything turquoise. I always get complimented when I wear this polish and it is one of my go-to colors. It definitely has more green than I expected, but that is mostly because of the glitter. Still a gorgeous color!

Every time I wear this color I get compliments. It is probably my favorite Zoya color I own (so far). It matches my bathing suit too which is nice.

Zoya Nail Polish | CharlaGorgeous
Charla is a stunning color. It is exactly "an expensive-looking shade for summer." I do wish that it was a bit lighter, more aqua/turquoise because it is a tad bit dark for my liking. GORGEOUS, nonetheless. The removal is horrid, though. The blue stained my nails and fingers and was a you-know-what to get off. The sparkles were everywhere, and, yeah. No fun to take off. But, if you are a blue lover, and a sparkle lover, you can`t go wrong with Charla!!

Zoya Nail Polish | CharlaOh wow it sparkles
This is my all time favorite zoya. She`s blue and then there`s enough green in her that in some lighting she flashes green. For how much glitter is in her, I`m still amazed how smoothly she goes on.

Zoya Nail Polish | Charla gorgeous, glamorous, and fun
charla is an absolutely beautiful teal polish that i love to wear. two coats make it opaque, but i think you can get away with one. the glitter doesn`t have that rough texture that glitter polishes tend to have, and it goes on super smooth. it`s gorgeous, glamorous, and fun all at once! i would recommend this polish to anyone and everyone.

Charla is an amazing color. She doesn`t chip easily, but she is much more teal than the picture shows.

Zoya Nail Polish | CharlaCharla is my new favorite!
This color is beautiful. Be aware that she is WAY more teal than the swatches on this website, but she`s gorgeous. I`ve never owned such a vibrant and unique color. I`m going to keep Charla on for a looong time! I can`t see myself ever getting bored with her. I highly recommend.

Zoya Nail Polish | CharlaBeautiful
I read the other reviews and those ladies nailed it. It`s a deep fun blue with a hint of green. It`s now in my top 3 favorites, and I have over 20 zoya polishes. I would recommend this to anyone, especially fair skinned gals like myself. I can`t stop staring at my hands :)

Zoya Nail Polish | CharlaCharla is beautiful
This is a really beautiful, perfect teal color, just slightly more blue than green, with a flash of gold in the sparkle. It somehow always looks like you are seeing it under water with the sun shimmering on it. A really unique, fun shade, especially for summer.

Zoya Nail Polish | CharlaMermaid Manicure!
This polish just moved up to the top of my favorites! I love it. The formula was great -- went on smooth and evenly, not clumpy or sticky. It was opaque in 2 coats but I personally preferred 3 for the perfect manicure. I usually don`t like blue or green polishes on my nails but I absolutely adore Charla. Perfect for summer -- pair it with some beach hair and you`ll feel extra mermaid-like!

Zoya Nail Polish | CharlaAMAZING JEWEL TONE COLOR
What can I say?!... Charla is an AMAZING jewel tone with super-duper pigmentation/color payoff. Just got it yesterday and did my pedicure using it last night and woke up to toes that literally look like treasures plucked from a pirate`s booty!!! I am in LOVE with this color!

Zoya Nail Polish | CharlaThe most gorgeous color I`ve ever owned
The other reviewers are right: Charla looks just like a mermaid. This color is so vivid and sparkly, and it`s even more gorgeous than the online photo shows. Definitely the best color I`ve ever purchased. It took two coats for full opacity, and I used a base coat and had no nail staining. I HIGHLY recommend this color!

Zoya Nail Polish | CharlaPrettiest nail polish EVER
This nail polish is gorgeous! A base coat is a must though as this polish stained my nails blue when I didn`t use base coat! lol.

Zoya Nail Polish | CharlaCharlalalala
Can`t rave enough about this color! Concur with all previous reviews. It only takes 1 or 2 coats for me to get complete opaque coverage. Best take note and wear a good base coat unless you want major nail staining. I forgot last time and my nails were stained blue/green. Hands down one of my top faves from Zoya!

Zoya Nail Polish | CharlaCharla`s Angel!
I`m a huge fan of this gorgeous color. I definitely concur with the other reviewers, this color reminds me of a mermaid`s scales. It sparkles like a dream and even my hubby who is usually unimpressed by polish loves this one on me. I prefer 3 coats for optimum opacity. It amazes me that a color with so much glitter goes on so smoothly. None of the rough texture you`d expect from a glitter polish, even without a top coat. Charla is a winner!

Zoya Nail Polish | CharlaGorgeous, but staining
Charla is bluer in the bottle and greener on the nails, but still a very beautiful teal metallic!
My only problem was that when I tried to take it off after 5 days of wear, I had to *scrub* and was still left with traces around my nail edges and bits of glitter on the nails, plus the blue-green had stained my nails and the surrounding skin during my efforts to remove it. So it`s a lovely color, but definitely don`t be planning to wear any sheers or nudes for your next manicure after this one!

Zoya Nail Polish | CharlaYou HAVE to buy this NOW!
For anyone who loves ultra sparkly or teal colored polishes, you CANNOT pass this up! Like the other reviewer said, you won`t be able to stop staring at your nails because the color is really that gorgeous. Unlike the other polishes in this collection that took 3 coats to be opaque, I only needed 2 with Charla.

Zoya Nail Polish | CharlaThe Most Spectacular Blue in the World!
I have never seen anything like the finish of Charla. It's like this ultra fine smooth glitter that creates kind of a holographic finish. Truly I have never seen a finish like this befor. This is a must for blue lovers.
