Upsides for me: another duochrome! And not a green/purple shift! Also available in drugstores, not limited to etailers and Ulta (whenever they'd get around to stocking it). The color was more toward the pink, while Swanky Silk showed the gold a bit more and was generally warmer. This color had a smoother texture, as well. On the downside…it was rather thin, and sheer. It took four coats to get full opacity. I can use the China Glaze colors for nail art, but there's no way that this one could be anything but a background. It also isn't quite as durable as the China Glaze colors. I got tipwear the next day, even with a topcoat. (And the topcoat you use…can diminish the duochrome effects.)
