When I first saw this on Zoya's site, I didn't think much of it. Then I saw someone else's photos of it, and thought that it just might be kind-of sort-of a flaky polish like Sally Hansen's Hidden Treasure, Nubar's 2010, or China Glaze's Fortune Teller.

Not so much.

It's a nice enough topcoat, with a flash of green microglitter. But the prismatic red/orange/gold effects just aren't there like I'd halfway hoped. They didn't even have a colorspoon of this shade so that I could test it out before I bought it…which actually had me thinking that they were soon to discontinue this one, anyway. So I jumped and bought a full bottle. It's not horrific, I can definitely add a little flash to some of the darker-colored mattes and “metallics” (pearls, actually) that I've bought from Zoya. And it's possible that this might make an interesting subtle-effect manicure when worn on its own. But unless you are specifically looking for a green microglitter topcoat, don't experiment by buying this one.
