Genesis

This is a wonderful white, not boring, but sparkly. Slightly warmer than true white, it`s flattering even if you`re pale like I am. Intensity should be a 4, since there`s a bit of nail line showing with 2 coats.

I love me some Zoya, but this color was very disappointing. It`s not opaque at all, in fact, I had to do a base coat of Sally Hansen White On (another crappy white which I was trying to replace with Genesis) and then 2 coats of Genesis to get it somewhat opaque. Even with that it`s streaky and without top coat, it chips in NO time. Sorry, but this one`s a fail for me.

OK, I`ve tried white polishes from almost every brand I`ve ever tried - and that`s at least 15 bottles of terrible, unusable white polishes I`ve had to give to my city`s hazardous waste program over the years!
But "Genesis" is nothing like those. The first coat is kind of sketchy & uneven, yes, but with the second coat, Genesis becomes even and perfect! Put on a coat of top coat & you have immaculate, shiny white nails. I`ve been wearing Genesis for weeks now because I always thought white would look great in the summer (& it does!). Yay!
