I wasn’t sure that I’d like this color so much, when I read the initial descriptions. I then was concerned that the sparkle would only really show up in sunlight (which doesn’t make an appearance all that often in this part of the Pacific Northwest.) Then I saw some manis photographed in indoor lighting, and while the sparkle wasn’t as pronounced as the sunlight photos, I liked the effects.

The polish spreads and covers very well. The formula feels a little thicker than some China Glaze polishes, but doesn’t cross the line into being a sticky mess. The base color actually appears greenish-black in certain lighting, and the multicolored sparkles definitely show up (more dramatic in the sunlight, but they’re not invisible indoors!)

Beauty Tip

Soften a too-rich lipstick by blotting and then dusting your lips with finishing powder. (This also helps set the color.)
