ZOYA Nina

We have a different type of photo today.... Lol, this is what Nina reminded me of when I was making my toast this morning, Marmite. (Mo-mite was for Mo-vember). Plus the picture looked better than the ones holding the bottle :)

If I were to ever create nail polish, I would definitely make one after Marmite... maybe Vegemite too....

Anyway this is Zoya's Nina from the autumn collection, Vibe. Two coats were needed for complete opacity. Very easy to apply, like butter! Also Nina is a very glossy polish on its own, but it is coated with Poshe here because I didn't want to ruin it before I was able to take pictures this morning :)

I have only tried two colours from Vibe and I am very impressed, can't wait to try the others!

Here's a little bit of Marmite history:

The Sanitarium Health Food Company obtained sole rights to distribute the product in New Zealand and Australia, in 1908. They later began manufacturing Marmite under license in Christchurch.

In the 1930s, Sanitarium began experimenting with the ingredients, which are now present in quantities different from the British version. Labels on the products show that the New Zealand version also has high levels of potassium, which the British version does not. This New Zealand product is now considered to have a somewhat sweeter flavour than the British spread. It is widely distributed through Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

Since 1923, New Zealand Marmite has been locked in a battle with Vegemite, an American-owned Australian spread with a similar appearance but markedly different flavour.
In recent years, Unilever has sold British Marmite on New Zealand supermarket shelves, replacing the name "Marmite" on the jar with "Our Mate", as Sanitarium has exclusive rights to the name in the country. "Our Mate" tastes considerably more salty and less sweet than New Zealand Marmite.
