Hey guys! Today I'm wearing "a lovely secret" (there were no capital letters on the bottle label), a blue-toned lavender with shimmer. I was quite disappointed by this polish. In the bottle, there is this bright flash of warm-toned purple shimmer, but it falls completely flat on the nail. What I see is a bunch of dark specks on the base color, instead of the lovely purple shimmer that I was expecting. Unexpectedly, the pictures show more shimmer than I see in real life (which is none). It looks kind of like a bird's egg, and while that's a cool look, it's not really what I want in a polish. So looks like this one's going to the swap bin!
Under diffused light, so you can see the 'specks' better. And a slight hint of that lighter shimmer!
The polish is actually a little more blue-toned and greyed out than this.
Formula was good on this polish. It was very easy to control, but a bit on the sheer side. What I'm wearing is 3 coats of a lovely secret topped with Poshe. Right now, the sheerness is kind of hard to see since my nails are still nubbins, but if I had free edges, I'd bet that there'd be some major VNL.
