Last night I let Nate pick out my new nail color and he chose one from the Intimate Spring Collection. I liked the whole collection, but was only planning on getting two of the colors. Then Zoya ran a half price promo on sampler, so of course I had to get the whole collection. All of the colors are beautiful and very wearable, but the one stand out (and one color I would have gotten no matter what) was Gemma. It's this beautiful grayed down olive green, which on it's own would be a lovely color. But Zoya had to take it one step further and add a blue/purple shimmer to it, that can only really be seen in the sun. Here's what Zoya says about it:

It is such a unique color, one that has already become a favorite for me and I've only had it on my nails for a day. With the pictures I did my best to capture the blue/purple, but it wasn't easy. Just know that it's there and it's wonderful.

I will admit that I own a lot of polish...as if you couldn't tell from my summer nail haul. And I will full heartedly say that this is probably one of the most unique colors I own. I have nothing quite like it. For the green that it is, it would seem like the purple just wouldn't work. But oh it does. I find myself trying to catch a glimpse of the color in ever light that I can.

I love it so much, that I may just have to do a giveaway with it! Yes...a giveaway. I truly believe that this color should be in everyone's collection. So yeah...I'm totally going to have to put together a giveaway just for this beauty. Keep your eyes open!
