Zoya’s Jinx

I store most of my nail polish in the refrigerator. Yes, I know that it still separates even when stored in the refrigerator. But I have to store it somewhere. (And this keeps me from buying lots of junkfood to clutter said refrigerator.) I usually let the bottles warm to room temperature before starting my manicure. With Jinx, though, I just sat down, shook the bottle, pulled out the brush, and started the manicure.

This? This is with one coat. One. Fully opaque, even coverage with one coat.

One coat shows the brushstrokes a bit, but it's even coverage, and it's opaque. This is amazing enough in just about any nail polish that I've used, regardless of brand; so rather than fix the brushstroky qualities, I took these shots. And yes, when I went back and did a second coat the brushstrokes were eliminated.

The color reminds me of a brand new penny. It's a gorgeous, rich, autumnal metallic - and unlike some Zoya colors, which they class as ‘metallics' but look more like pearl-finishes, this one is definitely metallic. It looks a little bit like Colette, but jazzier. The fourth picture is one coat of Jinx and one coat of China Glaze's Lighthouse.

Meanwhile, I'll have to try this refrigerator experiment with Ki…
