Suvi

Polish - Zoya Suvi

Well, I have never had the pleasure of visiting New York, so I'm not sure if I love it. But I know I don't love Suvi. I don't know what it is about this color, but it's just so "meh" to me that I almost can't even stand it. I got it as part of a 3 polish St. Patrick's Day set back in February and even out of the mail package when I swatched it, I just didn't like it. The first coat is horribly ugly and streaky. That gets better with the second and third coat. It ends up with very good coverage, but I just can't stand the color. I've never seen it on anyone else, so I can't say if it's just my skin tone that I hate it with or if I just don't like the polish period.

It's a bummer though, because from the bottle you'd this it would be a stunning green. It's even got a shimmer, which you know I usually love. But here? Not so much.

We're having a bit of an overcast day, so I had to use the flash to get a good glimpse of the real color. I'll also post a shadow photo, for comparison.

If you try Suvi and like it more than me, please let me know. Hopefully it just doesn't mesh well with my skin tone.

  1. Oh, I have a color like that and I LOVE it! I usually save it for autumn/winter, though.

  2. I'm the weirdo who never thinks of polish as seasonal, so I end up wearing all colors, all year long. But, it would be a beautiful Halloween mani or even a Christmas color!
