Depend – Nr 058
I was all excited to see this color in the bottle, thinking it was going to translate well on to my nail…
…but it didn’t. I was a bit disappointed, really.
I had high hopes but I realized I shouldn’t have had them because I never really luck out with colors and formulas like this. How so? You ask…well, check out the pictures below!
In the bottle this color looked like a deep, rich lavender with promises of gorgeous glitter, shimmer and maybe a hint of duochrome. What I got was a sheer lavender pink base that needed to have 3 coats done before it looked remotely presentable. These were thick coats, too! Drying time wasn’t too bad, so I can’t complain about that. Glitter in the polish tended to lump and you can see on my ring finger it looks like a bubble…it’s not, it’s actually glitter that landed wrong and dried wrong. I opted to not fix it because I was too lazy to even attempt to do so. I admit it.
In the sunlight shot the polish looks almost matte, but I promise you it’s not. I am wearing my high gloss top coat but it’s the polish itself. I even used a basecoat thinking I was going to want to wear this after I was done swatching. No. I actually took it off because I was a bit annoyed with the color and the end result. Call me moody and temperamental.
Anyway, I think this particular color would be good for layering. It would definitely benefit being over another color.
This polish reminds me of China Glaze Grape Juice, it looks more purple in the bottle, but on me it looked way to pink for my taste. I’m hoping it will look good layered over black, or a dark purple so I don’t waste it.
