Zoya Anaka

2 coats, direct sunlight

Pictures don't do this one justice! This is my favorite color from Zoya's fall collections so far. It's an intense magenta with big pieces of pink shimmer. It's more purple than it looks here, but I couldn't get the photo accurate. In sunlight it glows. I'm going to classify it a pink, but indoors it definitely appears more purple to me. I'd say it works for either fall or summer. I really like the magenta/fuchsia trend for fall - don't get me wrong, I love my vampies, but sometimes you need more color - and the pretty bronze and gold colors of fall don't work on me at all - I need cool colors.

I can't tell if Zoya has changed their brush, or if I just have gotten used to it. I prefer wide brushes, and always thought that Zoya's was rather wimpy, but these were fine.
