Well, I picked this one up recently (on my birthday, actually, which was the 1st!!) at a dollar store for just $1.99, along with some additional Jordana and Kleancolor.
In theory, this is SUPER pretty. Somewhere between fuchsia and purple, with such depth and richness... it's absolutely stunning. But then the folks at Jordana decided to throw in some small holo glitter, as well as... get this... holo bar glitter. YEAH! I like bar glitter, but it just feels out of place here. I'll add some pictures I took in the sunshine streaming through the window while I was on break at work. Shown in 3 coats.
This is how it looks in direct sunlight. Pretty, isn't it? Even with the glitter, it does look stunning.
That's how it looks in the shade, and this is more true to the color in person.
Seriously, if this didn't have glitter in it, I'd be ALL over this shade, totally in love, 10/10. It reminds me of one of my all-time faves, China Glaze "Draped in Velvet", just with a finer shimmer. But the glitter hapharzardly throw in just makes it less pretty. Not to say that glitter in general isn't great, but there's a time and a place, but this just ain't it. I don't hate it, not at all! In fact I like it! I just don't love it like I could...
Oh, and the TEXTURE. Eughhh. That chunky glitter gives it a bit of a texture, which I simply cannot stand. Two thick coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri could not smooth it out. So overall, while I do like this polish, I think I'd be reaching for it much more if it had no glitter. That's all for today. Peace! xoxo
