'Zoya Week Day 3: 'Phoebe'!

Happy Friday! :)
I'm really excited about today's post because it's my first matte polish! I'm not usually a fan of matte anything, but this sucker really won me over.

*outside, shade

*outside, direct sunlight.

Zoya describes 'Phoebe' as "bright azure with fine electric blue and violet shimmer with a velvety matte finish".

H YEAH!
It really does look like velvet- so luxe. I used 3 coats here, but 2 achieved opacity.
Not only is matte usually not my thing, but I didn't use to think bright blue was either... but this combo totally works. I absolutely love it! It's a fantastic polish for the season, too. Makes me want to go swimming :D

Whatcha think?!

  4. This is so gorgeous - and it looks great on you! I got this one and Savita from my recent purchase and I already have Loredana. I think I'm becoming obsessed with matte polishes. AND I was thinking "I wanna go swimming now" and then two sentences later you wrote that. haha great minds!

    1. thanks! I really used to not like bright blue on my hands, but this really grew on me. much like i used to hate mattes, and now THEY'RE growing on me, too... and we're already established that we're basically of one mind and geniuses, obvi :p
