This is a sheer goldfish orange extreme shimmer polish. It is very sheer so it for sure needs multiple coats.

I noticed this glittery orange slightly peach nail polish at Whole Foods. Im not a fan of this on its own since its a bit sheer and muted. I like it over a frosty peachy polish such as Orly Chantilly Peach. It gives it a bit of everyday glamour

Pretty orange but, a lot more sheer then advertised.

I am rating this so low because Zoya has this listed as a 4 on the scale of 1-5 (5 being the most opaque) and Gabrielle is so SHEER. I thought it would be an opaque polish with glitter but it's more like a glitter nail polish meant to be worn on an opaque polish. The color itself is pretty enough warm toned orange with gold shimmer.

I bought this in a clearout bin at half price. In the bottle, the shade was a pastel orange and I thought my teenage daughter would like this. I normally go for pinks. Having said that, I tried this and it goes on a lovely sparkly peach. Love love love it for summer, with a tan. Needs a top coat for sure because the glitter leaves a rough finish.

This is a pastel orange color. I did not buy it but my nail tech loves Zoya! She had a bunch of them and I wanted to do something Halloweeny so I gave it a whirl! This color is a bit of a powdery orange, like a chewable vitamin C tablet. I didn't want anything too bright for me since I equate strong orange with being a bit gaudy even for a Halloween party. But I thought the color looked pretty enough!

THE WEAR

I thought the wear was ok. THis was on toes. So the wear tends to be a bit different. I thought it was a little bit chippy around the edges. But there was no tip wear like on my fingers.

THE SHINE

I was a bit disappointed on the shine. I didn't feel this color was shiny enough for me. I used a bunch of top coat also. I think it was my usual top coat, Seche Vite. I don't know why but with glitter nail polish you have to be a bit careful as it does get dull somehow. This was a problem for me. Since I used the best topcoat money can buy, maybe it is the chemistry between the two products, but I expected more iron wear. It's probably not a function of the Zoya to be fair but probably more a function of using glitter polish on toes. I think a cream would have been better and I know Zoya makes them too.

OVERALL

I had to knock this down a bit on the overall and the aspect that I wouldn't buy again but I sincerely think this product was mismatched for use on toes! I think it's more likely that a color like this would last better and be shinier on tips. I wouldn't buy this though, just because pastel orange is not going to be a color I'd reach for. Normally I like reds, pinks, sheers, brights (including blues and greens) and vampy shades, not pastels. Although I do have a few they're just not me. Being honest for sure, but it's not Zoya, it's ME.
