Zoya’s Shivon

Cycling through the colors rather quickly - I got impatient when applying Richelle, didn't let the layers cure properly, and so had some smudging/peeling. My fault. At any rate, on to the next color.

Shivon is a wine-fuchsia with a slight gold duochrome. In my case, the duochrome was **VERY** slight. Most of it seemed to be on the inside of the bottle. Don't know if that indicates an older bottle, but I've owned it for four months - so while I haven't been using it daily, it hasn't sat for a year or four. I'm not sure if this is normal or not.

Like Adina, Shivon is a slight shimmer and the duochrome effect is more enhanced with multiple coats. One coat got me a sheer wine-purple color with no duochrome whatsoever. The second coat gave me some duochrome. I noticed some brush streaks in this color and in Adina, but not so much in Richelle. I don't know if that's because Richelle is a metallic color and Zoya's metallics don't show brushstrokes as readily, or because of some other factor.
