Bye and bye I knew that Zoya would produce a blue that I would love so much.
Prim is just that shade.
Prim is a beautiful metallic "velvet" blue according to Zoya. I call it a dusty cornflower, or muted periwinkle.
Metallic is a tough finish. The particles are super fine, so it can show brushstrokes, which mine definitely does. It also shows flaws, so in a lot of ways it's like a chrome. I think this is why I love foils, because you get the metal, but a highly forgiving finish!
I think it shows my old nail damage too much, so I tossed on a couple coats of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Watermelon Crystal, a sheer glass fleck.
Prim would be wonderful for stamping, it just covers so well.
Zoya has been kicking up the colors. For me they've replaced OPI as my "go-to" for exciting collections and interesting salon brand finishes.
Their sales - which seem to be at least two big ones a year at this point - bring their price point much lower than most drug store brands, save just a few. I will say that they are worth a look. I buy through the sales and though turnaround is often a product of high volume, I get the loot and life is good.
I will be stamping more, it's just that my nails are a really wonky and weird, so I am just pushing through until things grow out more.
Thanks for reading my little nail polish journal!

Very pretty shade! I haven't bought any Zoya in forever.
