Zoya’s Cynthia

So dark a blue it's almost a blackened teal. Similar to Light My Sapphire, in that they're both almost indistinguishable from black nail polish…except in full sun. It's a little bit disappointing, because I was hoping for a dark teal, not a teal-toned near-black! I suppose I could try two lighter coats of this over a light polish like Shay (or even Minka! I may have found a use for that! Woo!!!), and see if that gives me more of the teal color I'd hoped for. If that doesn't work, this polish is a little on the thicker side, so I'm sure I could use it for nail stamping.
