Then I saw Jaded. This polish couldn't decide whether it was a holo or a duochrome. In the bottle, you see shimmers of green, blue, purple. I was all ready to ask you to help me decide what to label it in my post. Then I polished my nails.
Total disappointment.
The first layer was pretty cool, looked like what was in the bottle except so sheer I got worried I'd have to do tons of coats. The next layer made it opaque but the mystery was gone. I was left with a shimmer metallic green the color of American money. Not necessarily a bad thing, but wasn't what I saw in the bottle. Gone was the dream of a new holo, the dream of a new duochrome and I was left with this.
While I'm not exactly hating this, it wasn't what I thought. So I enjoyed this color for a few hours then decided to switch it up a little and try another Funky French. I grabbed my new Essie Over the Top. This color is a deep dark shimmer gunmetal gray and thought it'd go well with the green of the Jaded.
I must say, I did way better this time with the scotch tape. I'm not as embarrassed to show this off. I think the 2 colors play well together. I'm happy with this one.
Overall, this is a pretty cool look. I'm still not sure that it's for me. I think I'm still a one color girl at heart, but am inclined to mix it up for you my fans. The Ulta polish is not one I think I will buy again. The polish is runny, not self leveling, I have serious brush marks. Sometimes, buying cheap ends up being just that.
Cheap.
I just realized that this color is almost matching my car's paint job. Maybe I can use this polish as touch up paint!!!
