I should have really called this post "Don't judge a polish by the colour in the bottle. This colour is WOW! It's a beautiful glass flecked raspberry colour. I could not stop staring at my hands when I put this colour on. It's gorgeous! When I first looked at the colour in the bottle, I was pretty certain I was going to hate it. Reds are not something I wear on my hands, ever. I'm so fair (like SPF 60 fair) that most reds either look vampy or trashy on me. That's why I'm so surprised at how much I love this colour. It's a fantastic work appropriate colour. It has a great elegant look to it but up close it's sparkly and fun.
The formula for this colour was excellent. The One That Got Away was a mini lacquer and I was expecting the formula to be chunky and thick. It wasn't! Yay. It went on evenly had the perfect thickness. I used 3 coats for opacity. I probably could have gotten away with 2 but I noticed some very subtle bald spots. I'm sure I'm the only one who would have noticed them but my inner OCD just wouldn't allow it. I wore this colour for 4 days and had only minimum tip wear and chips.
