Deep Velvet was released in Creative's 2007 holiday collection, if I remember correctly. This means that it falls right into that confusing territory between vintage and... not vintage. 13 years doesn't sound like THAT long ago (holy crap 2007 was 13 years ago let that sink in), but some folks will maintain that any polish older than 10 years is vintage... hmm.
Anyways, I'm not here to harp on the age of the polish, but rather its gorgeous color. The only way I can seem to describe it in my mind is as a "glowing, blackened boysenberry". Seems a bit flowery to me, but who I am to question the whims of my brain? While it tends to look like yet another nondescript so-dark-it's-almost-black color under low light, it's in direct sunlight (or under direct desk-light) that this baby lights up. It isn't quite metallic, but it feels wrong to call it a shimmer. It's shiny and pretty and opaque in 1 coat (though I do two anyway, because one just feels incomplete). I just remembered that I wore this on the first day of college last year... maybe I'll keep it on for a week and wear it on the first day of class again! (Granted, all of my classes are online and no one will be able to see my pretty nail polish except for me, but it's better than getting sick, eh?)
Until next time... PEACE! xoxo
