Ruby Pumps by China Glaze

This one is an immediate no for me. I saw it and immediately thought of The Wizard of Oz, of course.

The color and glitter are pretty, but that is where my enthusiasm ends. It dries gritty no matter how much top coat I use, and I really do not get along with straight brushes. I strongly prefer rounded or wedge-shaped brushes, so between the texture and the brush, this one was never going to be a favorite.

It’s a boot 🥾 from me, and straight into the destash pile. I will not be wearing this one again.
