After I bought Neeka, I brushed a little on a piece of white paper. All I saw were sparkles and nearly returned it. I like metallic finishes but this looked like a goth child`s polish. I decided to give it a shot on my nails to see if some of the sparkle blended in and luckily it did. It`s a beautiful rich shade and not glittery like I thought it would be. Love it.

Neeka is another color that looks great in the bottle and sounds good in the description but fails to deliver. The base tone is a gorgeous medium greyed periwinkle and that`s true to what you see in the bottle and on the screen. However, although the product in the bottle looks dichroic and shimmery, and the online description says "subtle red duochrome shimmer and bright gold glitter accents," I do not see any of that once it`s on. Other people, standing at a reasonable distance, see the periwinkle base; the only way I see any shimmer at all is to hold my nails about 6" from my eyes, and all I see are tiny, tiny flecks of what might be silver, what might be gold, you can`t really tell. There`s no real glitter effect and there`s definitely no duochrome effect. I`m giving up on Zoya`s glitters and sticking with the creams.

In the bottle it looks like a medium purple with gold shimmer. On the nail the gold is still present but fades into the background, giving it alot of depth. It`s dark and neutral (both things that I love) but also a beautiful, interesting color I couldn`t help but stare at. I can see myself wearing this often for fall!
