I really love the entire Touch collection that this polish came out in. I have this one and Pandora (didn't feel like I needed all three since they're so similar). I will say that I do prefer Shay to Pandora because Pandora looks slightly more muddy on my nails than I generally like. Shay is very clean, and a little whiter than Pandora, and has some slight shimmer/opalescence to it, which I think is very modern and fresh, as opposed to the traditional cream nude color.
With all Zoya polishes, this goes on more thicker than your typical OPI or Essie (or any other drugstore polish) which I really like. I would compare the formula to Chanel's polishes, actually. Opaque in two coats, which is awesome, and I love the way Zoya's polishes fade away on my nails. They don't chip severely, but rather peel away, leaving a more natural finish for longer amounts of time.
Overall, love this color. It's one of my favorite nudes. I definitely don't get mannequin hands with this color, just a very fresh, clean, lovely hint of color. Highly recommend picking this up if you can.

Great quality. I got it in my Birchbox and have been using it for months. The color is very neutral and when I buy Zoya I will branch into brighter shades but works great for most days. It is so good, doesn't chip!

Got this in my Birchbox...2 coats, no base or top coats used. 4 days later and not 1 chip...absolutely non!!! If not for Birchbox I would have never tried this product. I'm not wild about the color...its a little too nude for me...but I will be purchasing other Zoya colors. I also agree with the other posters, very opague, and the polish goes on smoothly because of the brush. Very pleased indeed.

Love this polish! It's my first Zoya (I usually use OPI and China Glaze) and I gotta say, I'm impressed! The formula is great--opaque in 2 coats, slightly pearly finish, and REALLY self-levelling. The brush is good-- Thinner than OPI but thicker than China Glaze's, very easy to use and of good quality. Color-wise, it's a neutral beige with a slight hint of rose, very flattering for all skin colors. Love!

Perfection! Opaque sand beige nude with a satin finish. Not completely matte. The formulation last 5 to 6 days. Very elegant classic color. I love my nudes.

Lovely opaque nude with a hint of metallic/opalescent shimmer. Took me two coats only to do a nice coat on my fingernails. Really lovely shade very hard to describe but has lovely undertones. Came in my Birchbox.

This is a full coverage (opaque) nude cream. I was a bit worried. When I hear "nude" and being dark skinned I know they're not talking about nude for me. It's obviously not. This nail polish while easy to apply, isn't nude for me and quite frankly, I find it a bit insulting that they call this nude. Not everyone is fair in skin tone. This is however a nice color. It's a desert rose sand beige with a bit of metallic.
I am happy however that it goes well with my skin tone because it's a neutral and full coverage. However, I'm taking off a point because it does live up to the hype of being "nude." Maybe on someone lighter, but not me.
P.S. This was in my July birchbox. (^-^)

This is such a pretty neutral pink nail polish. I got this in July Birchbox. I was super excited to try it on. It goes on very opaque. All I applied was about 2 coats. I use a base and top coat. (seche vite) It lasted me about week with just a bit of chipping. Maybe it was less chipping cause this was a higher end brand. I would recommend to color is anyone who love neutrals and pinks! ^_^

Such a pretty, neutral pink polish! Great for manicures. I was a little nervous when I saw how opaque this is. I usually prefer sheer colors when doing my own nails since I'm a little shaky, BUT I was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly this goes on. I would definitely suggest both a base and top coat with this one since I think the color would show any ridges/imperfections in your nails. This is not one of those polishes that requires multiple coats! Just one did the trick for me and looked great. I have a light, neutral skintone but I think this would look great on a variety of skintones.
NOTE: I received this as part of my July Birchbox shipment, so I gave it a 3 for pricing as I have no idea how much it would cost to purchase.
