Today, I'm continuing with Zoya's Ornate Collection and I have Electra for you. Electra is made up of a dense population of silver holographic bar glitters in a clear base.
I used Zoya Storm as a base in the swatches above because I wasn't sure how dense the glitters would be, but as it turns out, I didn't really need to. I did only one coat, but in my effort to smooth the bar glitters out, I did a few strokes over each other, which is what you see. I think if you are a better glitter-applier than me, you probably could have gotten this sparser. :-) Otherwise, if you like full coverage, you can skip the base color altogether. I had a bit of difficulty getting edges neat with this polish, but that is to be expected with bar glitters.
You can find Electra on Zoya.com for $8 for 0.5 fl oz. If you are new to Zoya, you can get your first two bottles of Zoya for $8 total and free shipping! More info HERE.

I'm not a big fan of bar glitters, but for some reason I actually kind of really like this one. Maybe because it reminds me of tinsel? Great swatches Yun! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like this one! Yes you're right, it does look like tinsel. Thank you! :-)

Normally I like bar glitter, but this gives kind of a hairy vibe LOL - but the holographic effect is stunning!
ReplyDeletehehe it does look a little hairy. It reminds me of the fur on my chinchilla. I'm glad you like the holo-ness! :-)

ReplyDeleteHehe I understand. I'm glad you think it's pretty! :-)

So pretty! Your nails almost look like they're fuzzy! I love it :) glam & a little bit different, just enough to look twice ;)
ReplyDeletehehe I thought the same thing, that it looks a little furry and reminds me of the fur on my chinchilla. :D I'm glad you like it!

This polish reminds me a lot of a opi from the nicki minaj collection;)
ReplyDeleteOooh yes, that one is a bar glitter too. :-)

Usually I am not a huge fan of string glitters, but I love how dense this one is!
ReplyDeleteYes, the density is great for sure. :-)

ReplyDeleteI like the holo effect too. :-)

So many cool things to be done with this one... I just got it for my brother-in-law's gf for Christmas, but I think I need to get one for me, too. <3
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of this type of bar glitter. It reminds me of hair.
ReplyDeletehehe, yes it reminds me a bit of fur too. :-)

*sigh* this one is my downer... I totally don't like it :-(
ReplyDeleteAnd it is strange because I really do love bar glitter. Just not... when it's all there is...
Well looking on the bright side, it's a good thing there is a color you definitely don't like. :P
