Application was great! The consistency of Rhinestone Cowboy is fluid, creamy and dense, with a silky self-leveling flow over the nail. The copious flake shimmers go on as smooth as you please and lay flat to the nail. Pigmentation is very good. I achieved even, opaque coverage after two coats, including complete camouflage of my nail ridges, hurray! Cleanup is mostly a matter of chasing down rogue flakes, which like to stick but dislodge after a few targeted strokes of the cleanup brush. Rhinestone Cowboy dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, slightly flat finish. Topcoat adds shine and enhances the presence and effect of the flake shimmers.
Photos show two coats of Rhinestone Cowboy over treatment and basecoat with a somewhat bubbly topcoat of Seche Vite. As I mentioned, these were taken after sundown with the last remaining light in the sky, so there are beaucoup reflections. My apologies!

Such a beautiful pink-leaning rendition of radiant orchid, Pantone's color of the year for 2014. You can really see those blue and pink flakes combining forces to create a unique shade. I love it when that happens! If you want to see what kind of holographic jinx Rhinestone Cowboy gets up to in direct light, check out Kirby's photos in the Mercurial Magpie review of this collection, here.
