Zoya Comparison Request - Ember, Isla and Rashida

Hi Friends 

Today a lovely reader requested a comparison between Ember, Isla and Rashida, three stunning red polishes.

Ember can be described as a deep, fiery red liquid metal with enough blue to be wearable for all skin tones.

Isla can be described as a rich, velvety blackened red shimmer that appears lit from within. 

Rashida can be described as a ruby red micro pearl shimmer.

Left to right Ember, Isla and Rashida, no dupes, but its close with Isla and Rashida, the shimmer in Isla is a deeper tone than that in Rashida, Rashida comes across as almost with an orange undertone, Ember is the brightest of the three.

All three of these have wonderful formula. All three of these stamp, Rashida likely better over a lighter base. I think the stamping shows the colour differences slightly better too, you can see that blackened base that Rashida has.

I really enjoyed pulling these three out, if you'd like to see others and I have the polishes do let me know.

I'm sharing my weekend mani too, I used the following :-

Base is Fancy Gloss Scarlett Rose in 2 coats.

Flakies are Rainbow Shards also Fancy Gloss over my middle fingers and thumbs.

Stamped with Zoya Gwen the light pink and Zoya Liz the dark red, using plate Whats Up nails B044, top coated with Barry M Plumpy and Barry M Matte :) yeah I  screwed up the scrape on my right index finger, this wasnt the top coat smudging the stamping.
