Glitter Gal Bloke Chaser
Bloke Chaser was released by Australian boutique polish maker Glitter Gal as part of the Aussie Slang collection last fall. This is a medium-dark creamy crimson with rose and berry tones, a deep pinkish red. It has a breath of milkiness to it that gives it a rich, velvety vibe. I love rosy berry reds and this one is just lovely, deep enough to be mistaken for carmine in dim light and shadow but bright and feminine in direct light. I picked this up at Llarowe along with a few other Glitter Gals at a most excellent sale price of only $3 -- sale still running!
Application was great! The consistency of Bloke Chaser is fluid, creamy and dense with a smooth glide over the nail and excellent self-leveling properties. It is user friendly and easily manipulated with Glitter Gal's round, short, flexible brush. Pigmentation is very good. This polish is a bit more translucent than I'm used to with a creme, more of a creme/jelly hybrid. The color deepens with each coat, so even application is a must. Not my forte! I ended up using three coats for an opacity that I was happy with, although I wouldn't say its as even as I would like. If you look closely, you'll see the difference in tone across my nails, especially noticeable on my left pinky nail, which clearly got thicker coats than the others on that hand. Cleanup was a somewhat messy affair, with pigment travel and residual staining as you might expect from a saturated red and my shaky-hands application. Bloke Chaser dries naturally in very good time to a beautiful slick, glossy finish. Nice!

This is great red for summer, it has the right kind of impact and isn't too dark. It feels very chatty on the nail, like it has some delicious gossip and funny stories to share. Very much the extrovert, and so pretty!
love,
