Shivon has quickly become my favorite np for fall. It's a lovely plum/gold duochrome with hints of brown and bronze, like a np version of MAC's O lipstick or Chanel's Mystery Rouge Allure. It may pull quite dark on paler ladies but it enhances my golden tan skin. Highly recommended for any woc. The formula is just thick enough with no streakiness, and got an opaque look with just two coats.

Yes, you too can have a shiny, shimmery, still work appropriate manicure. Shivon is a lovely mauve color with gold shimmer. It's neutral while still being fun.

I am really ambivalent about this color. It looked so pretty in the pictures I saw over at Stephanie's "The Polish Addict" and so it was the first color I bought from Zoya. However, when I got it, I found it to be much darker on my nails than it appeared in the picture. It really leaned towards mulberry on me, but I like the golden shimmer it has. I don't hate it, but when I look through my stash for my next mani, I also don't grab this one first.
As usual with Zoya, this polish had great application, it reached opacity in 1 coat, but looked best with 2.
Overall: A unique color that might appeal to someone else, but not for me.

I haven't worn this for a full mani yet, but I wanted to write this review before I got rid of it or forgot.
First of all, this color is usual. It is a berry color with an intense gold shimmer. I have to admit, despite it;s lovely finish, and despite the fact that these kinds of color suite my skin tone very well, I have has this a long time as an untried because it just hasn't "spoken to me." Perhaps it will when fall comes around.
Most importantly why I am writing this review is because it a close dupe for China Glaze’s Awakening. The differences between the two a mild. Shivon is tad a more pigments base color and Akening has a more intense gold flash. Both are beautiful. Right now I am debating on which one I should keep because they are both lovely, and look great on, but I just don't wear this color enough to justify having two so similar.
China Glaze may be more easily accessible the Zoya, but Zoya does have the benefit of being a more “health conscious” nail polish brand.
But back to the review of this one:
I just recently discovered Zoya polishes and I am really linking them. This one applies wonderfully and smoothly. There was no streaking what so ever, wish is hard with these kids on finishes. I haven’t worn it as a full mani, but I am assuming the wear is the same as the others of tried, which is like iron!
I rarely ever really by nail polishes more then once, but I so not regret purchasing it, so I am marking yes, I would by this product again.
