So this is Week 3 of me reviewing the Danse Macarbe collection from Monday. I should’ve known something was going to be off because I never do my nails on a Friday. I originally wanted to use The Silent Scream and I wanted to copy the magnetic manicure that they posted on their instagram. I failed so badly today, Indont know what i was doing wrong. So after two failed attempts after the first coats, I decided to just switch gears and try out Hell Is Other People Instead.
In terms of application, it is a little thicker than the other two polishes I have used in this collection so far. I’ve been trying to use thinner coats when doing my manicures but that wasn’t possible for me with this polish. The thickness made it a bit streaky on a thin coat so I used just a tad h it more which made that starting bead a bit thicker. This is also a polish that needs two coats instead of one, and it shines even more when that top coat is applied. Without it, the polish is a dull deep purple. The shine of the top coat really adds to the finish of this polish.
In terms of the color, it’s a deep deep purple which I think is very fitting as the weather just got colder and we’re truly entering fall. The holographic glitter adds a nice touch as well and you can see it even better in the flash photos. I would describe the polish as a linear holo and it’s very pretty when sitting in direct light, the holographic glitter really pops and it’s a gorgeous polish.
So far, this was my least favorite to apply but that doesn’t mean i dislike the polish by any means. Clair de Lune and Pearl Clutcher have thinner formulas that are easier to apply in my opinion. But I do like this polish a lot it’s very pretty.
For reference, the first photo is with one coat, the second is with two coats, and the third is with a top coat. I also added some photos with flash so you can really see the difference.
For this mani I used the Sally Hansen Maximum Growth base, the mooncat hardcore base, Hell Is Other People by mooncat; and then the Holo Taco Glossy Taco for my top Coat
