Ash

Ash looks nothing like the vibrant red shown. It is a DARK metallic burgundy, similar to Sarah, but darker with a bit of a plum cast. When I received it in the mail, I wondered why I ordered a polish this color when I have others like it. After seeing the picture again today, now I know. It’s a beautiful color, just not what I thought I was getting.

This polish is so beautiful! I was shocked that I loved it as much as I did. This is not the same formula as Merida and Alicia, it is jellyish like they are. This is an extremely bright red foily-like polish and I found this to be super opaque. I loved this so much around Christmas time but it seems to have a slight pink tone in certain lights so I am sure I will wear it again (once we are a little further from Christmas). When I painted my mom’s nails the other day 9 out of 10 nails took only one coat ( one took two cause she bumped it) I highly recommend picking this polish up!

Ash is such a disappointment. The swatches on the site and in the Zoya’s swatch book, show it more red and vibrant. However in person it looks like a dull dark pink. I don’t see any of those fiery red glitters like in the pictures. It has some microgkitters but they don’t look nearly as nice. The only way I was able to get it close to the swatches was by taking a picture with flash and it reflected some of the red. But in normal light it looks dark pink and cheap.
