Zoya Jem

Good morning!!  Ever since Zoya introduced Kimber into their lineup last summer I've known I'd have to have Jem in my stash, because I am a Jem girl, and truly outrageous ;)  Their recent promo sale landed Jem in my basket and onto my nails.



Jem is a deep plum purple glowy shimmer, a little too vibrant to be vampy but satisfyingly dark, nonetheless.  There are hints of a gold flash in the bottle but on the nail it's purple on purple, gorgeous and glamorous.  Typically great Zoya formula here... You can almost get away with one coat, if you're careful.  I experienced a little tugging with the first but the second was perfect.
If you don't know what the heck I was talking about, being a Jem girl and all that, here's a link to the opening song to the '80s cartoon.
Thanks for reading ♥

    1. I was thinking it looked familiar as I was applying it. I think Carly's got some silver and maybe a lighter base... I'll have to do a comparison.

  3. Hallelujah, Jem...that is a long time ago :)
    Jem should be a eighties neon pink or something ;)
    Love this colour though: not too dark, not too purple...just right!
    Looks lovely on your nails as well.

    1. I agree! Dark purple totally doesn't match up, but yeah, really pretty shade. And thanks for the compliment :)

  6. This is such a pretty color! I find myself staying away from darker purple/reddish shades for some reason but I'm such a sucker for Zoya shimmers that I might consider trying dark again.

  7. This is a gorgeous color and is now in my long Zoya wishlist! It looks wonderful on you. I vaguely remember watching Gem but not enough that I can say I was a Gem girl. Either way, gorgeous polish! I have a new polish coming out that I think this would be a perfect base!

    1. Oh, I can't wait to see! I was totally a Jem girl. My third grade bffs and I did a little lip-synch and dance in our school's talent show to one of the Jem songs. I got to be Kimber, lol.
