Sloane

This polish is opaque in 2 coats for me and I get loads of compliments on it. It`s my go-to polish all year, but it`s quite dark, so that might not be the case for everyone. Very long-wearing, as well.

I like Zoya polishes and colors but unfortunately this one is a disappointment. The picture shows a dark color with purple sheen. The bottle has a gorgeous dark purple sheen and specks in it. But on my nails it`s just very dark brown, not a single speck of purple or metallic! I tried to look at it in a daylight and articificial light: nothing! It`s a nice dark color but not more than that. Maybe I just got a bad batch? Or maybe I should try to scrape some sheen of the sides of the bottle somehow to mix it in the laquer? Disappointed...

I can`t tell you how flat-out gorgeous Sloane is. It`s very dark and vampy, but there`s also this a beautiful purple/bordeaux shimmery undertone that you don`t see until you actually apply it to your nails. It looks like a flat, boring-blah dark maroon from far away, and even the online photo does it no justice (and it looks *nothing* like the color spoon, which makes it look frosty/dusty -- which Sloane most definitely is not). But close up, it`s amazing, like tiny, hidden purple galaxies on your fingernails. It`s amazing. I can`t stop looking at my nails.

when you actually get the bottle the first thing you`ll say is, this doesn`t look like the bottle on the website but you will be proven wrong. the color once applied looks like the pic on the website but it also looks dark purple as well, go figure. it is a color that people stare at for a while b/c at first glance it appears dark brown, from a longer distance black but when you look at it you see the dark purple & dark brown. i love it, this will be one of my signature colors:) i call it my combo of dark brown & a weird dark purple
