Collection: Zoya 2014 Fall/Winter (?), Divas
Rayne (ZP772) is described by Zoya as a “dewy, spring blue metallic with an energizing turquoise metallic flash”. It’s basically the perfect Cinderella nail color! It’s more turquoise, though, not quite Disney-blue enough, perhaps—but that shimmery, frothy iridescence does it for me.

I am a sucker for fairy tale movies! I even sat through Snow White & the Huntsman and Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, neither of which was good but at least they were occasionally campy/entertaining. However, I had to stop Disney’s live-action Cinderella (2015) after 15 minutes, ugh.
Rayne is a little disappointing, formula-wise, for a Zoya. It is semi-sheer and I used three coats in my swatch. It doesn’t really apply evenly enough to use it any sheerer, with fewer coats.
It’s only worth getting if you love the bubbly shade!

Such a pretty finish! Too bad the formula isn’t great!

Total Cinderella shade can see where you’re coming from, also not a fan of that movie (new Jungle Book though is amazing)! I love this shade – what about with a white as a base, do you think it would be any more opaque or is it still that horrible sheer that needs 3 coats regardless?

I’ve heard the new Jungle Book is really good! We rewatched the original cartoon recently, so cute. I totally forgot how Kaa the snake has exactly the same voice as Winnie-the-Pooh (same actor, I believe). Creepy 😀
White (or maybe turquoise) as a base might work, but you’d have to get Rayne to apply evenly, which can be tough. 😦

Not my kind of colour at all… 😛
Have you watched Maleficent? It was on tv the other day so I had it on… eh, not horrible as I imagined it would be.

Haha, no princess shades for you! I did see Maleficent – almost used it in my post but then I remembered that SW&tH was worse 🙂 I didn’t mind Maleficent too much, but it was quite predictable! Also, AJ’s cheekbones terrified me.

Love this! If only the formula was better I’d be adding it to my list.

It’s a shame it’s on the sheerer side 😦
