Zoya describes Carly as a "very rich, bold, red-toned dark purple with iridescent red and silver metallic shimmer and a dense foil finish." I would probably call it a burgundy/wine foil...that's probably why Zoya wouldn't hire me to describe their polishes:)
Dense is right. This reminds me of Song in the fact that people that appreciate a one-coater, would love it. I, on the other hand, always do at least two coats and with these foil/metallic polishes, it gets a bit thick and goopy after the first coat. Again, I probably shouldn't complain about having a one-coater:)
Carly is so beautiful to me. If I would arrange my nail polish by color, I think the most popular color would be burgundy/wine colors. I have always been drawn to that shade. I think it looks best with my skin tone, and it's more of a classic nail color than green or blue. Don't get me wrong, I still love my unique blues and greens, but sometimes it's nice to wear the old standby.
Have a great day!
Gorgeous! I'm wearing Carly today, too, but satinified, lol. I wasn't happy at all with my photos, though, so I'll try again tomorrow. ;) I totally agree about the blues and greens. Remember when it was, like, sooo out there to wear blue nail polish? I guess it still sort of is. ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, we're twins again! I think in my real life people probably look at me weird when I wear blue nail polish...but in this blogging world, it's normal:)
DeleteI love this one!! It looks so great on you! Really makes me excited for fall!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Deletewow, this one is GORGEOUS!!! I think I will put it on my want-list... do you think it's similar to any other Zoyas?
ReplyDeleteBtw, I am horrible with color descriptions, so I'm so glad Zoya is so accurate with theirs!! I can just copy and paste and be done with it =)
I don't think it's similar to anything else I have...or any other Zoya's. I just got back from a walk and it looked a little more purple when the sun was going down. It's very unique and I think worth it to pick it up:)
DeleteSo pretty! Carly is one of my favorites from the summer collection. It looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I love it too!
DeleteI adore Carly & have worn it twice so far (which is alot for a new polish in a big collection):) I am really bad at describing colour & even worst with scents.
ReplyDeleteI can picture myself grabbing this one again soon too! I just have to get used to the formula.
DeleteVery pretty! I'm not sure if I have Carly, but it looks gorgeous! That's sad, I don't even know what I own. Haha
ReplyDeleteLOL, that's sad but I can see how it happens!
DeleteI absolutely love this color! It's SO gorgeous and looks amazing on you! :D
ReplyDelete~ Yun
Thanks. I really like it too.
DeleteI totally overlooked this one this summer but it is really gorgeous on! I love the deep plum shade, I agree with the above post that it will be beautiful for fall : )
ReplyDeleteYes, it is perfect for fall:)
DeleteI love this on you so much. It looks great with your black shirt too. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteBurgundy wine colors are also a weak spot of mine. I still don't own this one, but I really need to. The contrast with your shirt makes is so incredibly glamorous.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes, if you like burgundy/wine colors, go grab this:)
