True Blood Week: Shifter Saturday with Zoya Ki

Flash
Indoor Lighting: Green and Purple

Indoor Lighting: Silver and Green

Dim Lighting: Silver and Green

Zoya Ki is a "multichrome" polish that shows mainly purple, green and silver/gray. It has a shimmery finish and the swatches are three coats. This color is great to represent the shape shifters on True Blood because of the way this polish seems to magically change.  It is mainly purple in bright lighting. The color changes at every angle, and the green becomes most apparent in dim lighting. Zoya Ki is available a zoya.com. The retail price is $8.00.

True Blood Week: Zoya Bela

Indoor Lighting

Review:  The color I chose for Pam Swynford De Beaufort is Zoya Bela.  Zoya Bela is a nude pink crème polish. It has a slight pink sparkle or glitter chunk, every now and then, that shows unexpectedly. Bela has a sheer formula, and my swatches are 4 coats. Four coats!  I have worn this polish at least three times.  I waited 5 minutes per coat, but the slight streaks persist.  I still love this polish and recommend it. On top of this, it is one of the only nude polishes I own.  

Pam:  This color reminds me of Pam because she is a “Tiffany Girl”, and prefers pastels. I would imagine her staple polish color being, any creamy nude. Although, her wardrobe is usually ostentatious at Fangtasia, that is her job. She is really a no polish kind of girl, in my opinion, but this is a special occasion.  With Pam, dry time is no issue unless her patience is excessively tested.

 Zoya Bela: is available at zoya.com. The retail price is $8.00.
