lotus is from zoya's true spring 2012 collection.
zoya describes it as: "a very soft, dusty blue-toned amethyst purple
with colorful shimmer that reflects pink, red and gold. a dreamy smoky
shade for purple lovers that looks both soft and luminous" and they are
dead on with the description. the color really is a dusty, muted purple
packed with pinkish shimmer.
formula is amazing and it is fully opaque
after two coats. the shimmer is quite visible on the nails, which
surprised me, because i expected it o be more subtle. i think that this
is one of those shades that look good on every skintone.
natural light:
i used base (china glaze strong adhesion) + two layers of polish + top coat (essence btgnts)
