Zoya’s Sasha

I've had this color on my nails for the past three days, and had two instances of scratching (both times on the thumbnails). The color's worn well. It doesn't seem as dark as the description states - it's less of a “dark blood red with brown undertones” and more of a “deep rich red”. One coat gave me full coverage, but it was pretty less vampy than garish…a bit closer to “fuck-me red”, which has its uses, but not on my nails thankseverso. The coverage and spreadability are excellent - no brushstrokes in this one, not in either coat. Repairing the scratches was fairly easy, too - the fresh polish just settled right into place. I used Zoya's Anchor base coat, two coats of Sasha, and the Armor top coat.

I have half-formed ideas of combining two coats of Sasha with two coats of China Glaze's holographic topcoat…just to see what result I'd get. I'd kind of love to have a rich red holographic polish. (I've found that one coat of ChG Wireless topcoat doesn't give a whole lot of holographic effect; but two coats might nicely fit halfway between “full on holographic” and “sparse bits of microglitter”.)
