Application was lovely. The consistency of Veiled Flame is fluid, light and very creamy, with a buttery glide over the nail and excellent self-leveling properties. This polish likes to go on in medium coats with a generously loaded brush. It's a fast-drying polish and not particularly fond of overstroking. Pigmentation is very good with wearably opaque coverage in two coats, although I used three for this manicure. Cleanup is easy and straightforward. Veiled Flame dries naturally in very good time to a nice glossy finish. Topcoat enhances the presence and colors of the shimmers.
Photos show three coats of Veiled Flame over treatment and basecoat with a topcoat of Seche Vite.

It was heavily overcast here today so I didn't get a chance to see Veiled Flame in direct sun, but it was GORGEOUS under the uber sympathetic lighting at the gym with the copper shimmers beaming from within the dusky purple. Prepare for purple lovers to get all grabby hands when they see this polish!
