I’ve been in a dark creams phase, and feel allergic to anything conventionally “feminine” right now. But I ordered this polish because the swatch pics just impulse-got me at checkout, then hadn’t tried it other than swatching the bottle top (which turned out kinda meh) and I have a low tolerance for anything purpleish, so there it sat.

EdM’s *formula* works great for me though, and I wanted a quick/easy mani so I decided to use this one since I have another package of darks delivering later this week so it was low commitment.

And she’s pretty!

I do live a shifty gal, and the base is a really nice grey-ish purple even as a non-purpler. The shift is — my husband said “fuschia” — but it’s just right, not too much. When I finished the mani I thought: this would be a hot dude polish.

I’m glad I tried it before destashing… she earned a spot in the stable.

Base: Cracked Sticky Base Coat

Lacquer: Emily de Molly Gift of Glow x 3 coats (2 would have been enough but I bumped two nails and had to do another coat to level them)

Top: Cracked QDTC
