Tonight, I did a test run...just polished myself with no base or top coats. My thoughts are kind of mixed, while the color is stunning, the polish itself leaves a little to be desired. There's quite a bit of cuticle drag, it's still sheer with one GOOD coat, which from a very dark, vampy polish I would expect better. It took me 3 coats, some nails took 4 to get a nice, even coverage. That was the other issue! Some nails took well to the polish, and others it took a bit to cover. So strange!
So the color! OMG, so gorgeous it's insane. As previously mentioned, definitely a vampy polish. Very dark, almost black looking. A solid purple base with an almost violet hue, and the teensiest hint of shimmer. My nails are currently a pretty good length too, and it doesn't look like too much, as some darks can. This would definitely look wonderful on shorter nails, but I have no issue with it being on my longer nails. For reference, my nail overhangs my finger by about 1/4".
So, now you're probably wondering: Where are the pictures? Well, I want to do this first photo RIGHT. So I am going to give myself a proper manicure tomorrow, complete with base & top coats, then take a photo and blog. So, you'll get 2 blog posts. :) Fun times. See you beauties tomorrow!!
Until then, Never go through life without a passion for beauty & Fashion. ;)
