Zoya Nidhi

Nidhi was released as part of Zoya's Sparkle collection for summer 2010. According to Zoya, Nidhi is a "rich red sparkling metallic." Hmm.

*crickets chirping* 

Reminds me of the descriptor for Essie Leading Lady and these two are nothing alike! Ah well, I guess the descriptor writers get stuck in ruts too.

Nidhi is the color of true polished red Mediterranean coral. It's a medium-light warm-leaning bright red creme containing plenty of glass flecks in gold and iridescent pink. It reminds me of red coral and of ripe strawberries and, with its gold flecks, of India. A beautiful dynamic medium red with lively overt sparks from the glass flecks that's at home any time of the year.

Application was trouble free. I did make a bit of a mess but I claim distraction by the flecks in this polish. So unusual for a creme formula! Nidhi is creamy and light, with plenty of flow. Pigmentation is excellent with complete coverage in two coats. Nidhi dries naturally in good time to a slightly dull finish that loves a good topcoat to gloss it up.

Photos show two coats of Nidhi over treatment and basecoat with a topcoat of Seche Vite.

Isn't this a beauty? I love how the pink glass flecks stand out against that hot red! Scrumptious!
