Glossy nail macro.
This is such a gorgeous almost neon purple. It pops under all lighting and the holographic glitters just add to the POP. I don't have a black light but I'd be very interested in seeing what this polish does under one!
I really love this base color. It reminds me so much of my favorite highlighter in college. The perfect mix of pink and purple and I want to wear this on my nails constantly!
Matte nail macro.
I definitely like this polish with a matte top coat. The glitters pop more and the polish looks slightly more purple (in person, not just in this picture), which I love! The glitters leaned more blue in this picture and I found that was true in real life as well.
Formula: Very good.
Coats for Opacity: Two coats.
Ease of Dry: Quick.
