Origin: Straight from the Post Initial Thoughts: The photo of the bottle looked like terrific fun: deep purple/black with bright orange glitter shot through it. In the Bottle: Plenty of big orange glitter and tiny rainbow microglitter floating in the dark. One Coat: Definitely not enough for full coverage. I'm not sure that it would be a good top layer for another coat, given the dark shade of the base here. If someone is gifted at getting the glitter to apply evenly, the smoky base is kind of interesting. Two Coats: A thick, inky shade of blue/purple that is nearly black, with sparkly orange glitter everywhere. Similar to Fires of Love, this is hard to photograph well. It's prettier than the photo would suggest, with the orange glitter kind of glowing out of the dark polish. Verdict: I think I'm going to take this to the nail salon this weekend and let a professional apply it so I can wear it through Halloween and see if I need a second bottle. It's most definitely a Halloween thing - I don't see myself wearing it much at other times of the year. ETA: A big photo of the polish when a pro is handling the brush. Still doesn't quite do the shiny glitter justice, but better than my own attempt: Edited October 30, 2016 by puck_nc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VetchVesper Report post Posted November 6, 2016 This is my first BP nail polish. I'm usually a $2 bottle girl, as I use my hands so much even good nail polish is doomed within a few days. I've been wanting to see if this stuff is worth the extra money, and a purple nail polish with orange glitter seemed right up my alley. This reads to me as black though. Technically, it's purple, but it's so dark it looks black. There's a subtle flare of orange glitter in the light. I barely notice the lighter, purple glitter. I'm a little disappointed on the color. The polish performance is pretty good though. Good glitter spread. Dries quickly. Seems to be holding up well. I wouldn't mind picking up a few more of their colors.
