*EDIT: Color description is based on viewing photos from a Mac. After seeing the photos on a Dell, my color corrections are pretty dang close to accurate. It all just depends on your computer monitor :)
Zoya "Charla"
 | Use these photos for reference on how much the polish sparkles. I don't think there is any nail polish more glittery or fantastic than the Zoya's from the Sparkle collection (not even Nfu Oh flakes!). This is "Charla". "Charla" is a blue based polish with LOTS of turquoise (?) glitter! It has so much of this glitter that the color of "Charla" is hardly blue at all! I would call this polish aqua. Compared to my photos, "Charla" is actually much more saturated in color and has a hint more green... You should have seen the color that my camera(S!) thought it was! Light blue... This is definitely NOT a light blue. |
Here is an indoor shot. I used Photoshops basic layers adjustments to color correct this photo. Wasn't completely successful...

It is amazing. Whatever it is. It's amazing.
very nice!!
OMG, Charla is soooooooo beautiful!!! I like your pretty nails. <3<3<3
a stunning color, *must-buy*
How lovely is this polish! Gorgeous
I love it!!!
Thank you all for commenting! This really is a lovely polish. I'm glad I got it!... even though it is said to be a dupe for OPI's new color and I obviously have to get the OPI one!! :)
pssst! color settings vary by monitor, not necessarily by whether you use a mac or a pc. regardless, something like charla would be gorgeous in any color :D
Anonymous- Yes, I know. My last sentence says "It all just depends on your computer monitor :)"... but you are right. Charla looks gorgeous on both computers. I just want to show them accurately and it seems that the color is best on my work computer :)
I just want to ask how many layers did you put on? :)
Blanka- This is just 2 layers... not thin layers though. You can see my nail line really well in the photos but it is not that case in real life AT ALL! I don't know why that happens...
oh my - I wasn't going to do the exchange and now I think I have to lol. This is so pretty!
that looks a lot like OPI's new summer color, catch me in your net.

so if you want a dupe, ALU says they are almost exactly alike.
Mmmm, fabulous! :)) I think you managed to capture it wonderfully. But, I know what you mean, I couldn't get an accurate color in the photos either and my camera killed all of Charla's wonderful glow. See my miserable attempts here: http://polishdrop.blogspot.com/2010/05/zoya-charla.html. :D
One of my fave polishes ever. Your pics of it are awesome!
Love this one, got it recently and was amazed by how blingy it is!! Mega shine and sparkle. Tempted to get Ivanka too.......hell, I will probably end up getting most of them. Great pics babes, you do it justice xxx
