I have fair skin and, unlike the previous reviewer, I am TOTALLY IN LOVE with Minka! In every light, it`s the perfect nude; in some lights, the silvery effect - which I absolutely LOVE - shows more than in other lights! I`m a teacher, and especially in the harsh florescent lights of my classroom, this shade is absolutely GORGEOUS! Many nail polish colors have the exact OPPOSITE effect - they look good in natural light, but look HORRIBLE in my classroom! No doubt that Minka will be one of my new absolute favorite Zoya shades!!!

This polish is really thick and goopy. My other Zoya polishes apply beautifully, but this one seems somehow off in its formulation. I would agree with the prior review...it`s like putty. The color isn`t as "nude" as I had expected.

Nice color, but unfortunately, not a fan of the pearly finish.

I tried Minka because I like wearing "nude" polish. This color looks innocuous, however when I applied it (2 coats) it came out looking like wood putty. Not flattering at all. I removed it immediately. I would definitely recommend getting the spoons with these colors in order to find the one that best flatters your skin tone.
