Zoya - Sooki

    While it's time for a lot of blogs to present fall collections in avant-première, I'm only able to show some of the Summer items I have bought. But it's still summer so I'm still in time, right? ;) Here is "Sooki" from the current Zoya Summertime collection, the only color I've chosen to buy. I have such a thing for red and find myself wearing this color so often on my nails (and clothes and lips also) that I couldn't resist picking up this one although I more than surely have enough bottles of red nail polish already. But red is sexy and eternal and it's always been my idea of being a woman since I was a little girl. I love red.

On the website, Sooki is described as a "Bright, clean, crisp cool cherry red cream with a subtle jelly finish". While it's really true (it's so bright, so strong and so joyful), when it's on my nails I more feel like I'm wearing a plain true neutral red (which I adore of course). In reality, it's cooler in tone than my pictures show - you know that red is almost impossible to render on a screen - they always look more tomato than they are. How picky might I be with description, Sooki is one of the best red I've worn and it looks perfect against a fair/light skin. Application is flawless (as often with red in most of brands - I've rarely - if ever! - been disappointed by a red) and while it was looking good after one coat, I added a second for more durability. As ever, no top coat. It dries fast, super shiny and last quite long. Nevermind all the bottles of red I was owning already, they all look different to me and I didn't go anywhere wrong picking Sooki. Yummy.
