Is Defy & Inspire still around? I looked when I was at my local Target and I didn't see a display, but that's not surprising considering how much they've been remodeling. Also, my Target isn't a reliable measure for what is or isn't typically carried.

After the Rose is a dusty watermelon pink polish.

Brush macro.

Glossy nail macro.

This is such a perfect shade of pink. It's pink, but not PINK. Y'know?

I used three thinnish coats and this polish was fully opaque. There weren't any dry issues and it dried down smooth and to a shine finish.

Matte nail macro.

I really love this with a matte top coat on. A good matte creme is what I'm here for.

Formula: Very good.

Coats for Opacity: Three coats.

Ease of Dry: Normal dry.

Texture: None noted.

Finish: Shine.
Removal: Normal removal, no issues noted.
Top Coat Used: Glossy/Matte.

As always, let me know what you thought of this polish in the comments!
