As soon as I found out there was a nail polish with my name, I knew I had to get it since it's not that often that I find things with my own personal name. Today's mani + pedi is Zoya Sabrina on fingers + Rococo Nail Apparel Metal Jacket on toes.
Zoya Sabrina is a sheer pale cream off-white-pinkish color. I think it's a nice classic cream color for the nails. The color is rather sheer, so the manicure has 3 coats for a more opaque look. It actually looked a lot better with a more natural finish with 2 coats, but my manicurist thought it could use one more coat. Next time I'll just ask for 2 coats for a more natural look. Otherwise, it just feels a tad too contrasted with my skin.
Rococo Metal Jacket is a complex mixture of taupe-brown-silver. This one is an odd one for me. When I tested it at Space NK, it was clearly brown, much like you see on Vampy Varnish's review. However, the one I received from my online order pulls more silver-taupe on me. If you haven't read the first article I wrote about Rococo Nail Apparel (here), to recap, I've experienced some inconsistencies with the colors - which seem to differ slightly based on which batch the product was made from. Which may explain why Metal Jacket looks brown on others and looked brown from the tester I saw in the store, but looks more silvery taupe in the bottle I received. (More explanation in the original post.) The pigment is amazing though and didn't really need more than just 1 coat, however 2 coats were applied at the nail salon.

Zoya Sabrina looks really similar to OPI Bubble Bath and Chanel Allegoria in the bottles - but I haven't swatched them on the nails to see the actual difference. I don't have a dupe for the Rococo, but then I don't have many taupey sparkles for nail polishes. Overall, I have to say I'm not completely in love with either shade. My nails look nice and polished, but the colors on me just feel a bit bland.
