Fall'n For You has a silver holographic base with superholo microglitters in silver and an assortment of tiny holographic metallic hex glitters in fall foliage hues of orange, copper, red, rose and gold. The orange glitters are slightly larger than the others -- they are the flag bearers of this polish. The overall effect is like a sandy, glowing, platinum blond sort of base speckled with brilliant sparks of color, especially orange, red and copper. A surreptitious linear prismatic flair from the holographic silver base sneaks in there under direct light and plays beautifully alongside all of the glittery goodness. Unfortunately, it is overcast and raining here today (a little chilly too, yum!) so I didn't have the opportunity to view or photograph this polish in its fullest holographic glory, but even in low light the sparkle and glow is splendiforous. Absolutely delicious autumnal eye candy!
Application was wonderful -- exactly as you'd expect from the glitter holo formulary expertise of creator Rachel. The consistency of Fall'n For You is fluid and smooth with none of the folderol you might anticipate from a polish this densely packed with components. It has an easy, self-leveling flow over the nail with a nicely balanced viscosity for painting and no stacking, stickups or protrusions over the free edge on the part of the glitters, which disperse evenly over the nail as you paint. Coverage is largely provided by the components, with completely even opacity in only two coats. I did my cleanup as I went along and had no issues. Fall'n For You dries naturally in very good time to a finish that has a bit of that "glitter grit" texture. I used a coat of Pretty Serious Plump Up the Volume to smooth it out, allowed that to set up and partially dry, then followed up with a layer of Seche Vite for a glossy, glitter-under-glass look.

What a blast! I adore this! If such creatures as Halloween faeries exist, I am certain that this is what they've got on their nails. Still images can't do proper justice to the experience of this polish, the terrific sparkle, the holo effects and bright fall colors are dynamic and completely coherent on the nail in person.
Glory be to God for dappled things, indeed -- especially when they look like this!
love,

Oh my word! This polish is fabulous!! In a world of polish inundation, you still see a truly special one every so often that knocks you over...this is one of them! :)
ReplyDeleteThis was so much fun to wear! That day I wore it, I had to wait at length at my pharmacy for a DEA number problem to be resolved before my script could be filled, truly one of life's special moments, and this polish entertained me the whole time. It has this fantastic copper flash that I forgot to mention when I wrote the review, and sparkled like crazy under the pharmacy lights. Sometimes I forget just how much I love sparkly nails!
DeleteAnd it removes without soaking or tin foil. Just a little extra scrubbing. Huzzah!
