Zoya’s GeiGei

GeiGei is a soft, spring pink. It's a pretty enough shade, not too vivid but not pale or washed out. I like the finish on this polish. I just didn't love its coverage! It was a little bit thin, and didn't spread evenly. I had this same problem with Geigei, Piaf, and Julie - so perhaps it was something about the formulas of these polishes. I had better luck with a later manicure, where I applied a thin coat, waited an hour (yes, really!!) applied another thin coat, waited another hour, and applied a third thin coat. The upside was that then, the polish was pretty, pink, with the “LCD crystal” micro-glass-fleck finish and no thin spots. The downside was that this took the better part of a day.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

I don't not-love pinks as much as Scrangie, but I'm not a raging pink-polish fanatic. I don't see anything particularly special about this pink polish, and I think that you might be able to find dupes for this base color, if not for the base color plus finish, from any number of other vendors including Zoya (Emme is a close match, in terms of the pink. Jessica and Erika are two other pinks that are extremely similar, with Jessica being a straight creme and Erika having a very faint gold shimmer.)
