Application was a delight, as I've learned to expect from this brand. The consistency of Witch You Were Here is fluid and very creamy with a medium viscosity and a buttery, self-leveling glide over the nail. Pigmentation is very good, with completely even opaque coverage in two coats. Cleanup is surprisingly easy for such a dark, well-pigmented shade, with a skosh of pigment travel but much less than I anticipated and almost no residual staining. I love that! Nothing is more frustrating and disappointing than cleaning up after a polish only to get tinted cuticles and sidewalls for your trouble. Witch You Were Here dries naturally in very good time to a slick glossy finish.

I expect that the holographically-generated swath of ultramarine blue would be even more brilliant in direct sun, which sadly is in short supply again today. But it is impressive even under overcast skies, adding an intense, saturated aspect to the color that is characteristic of many creme holos -- one of the reasons why I love them so much -- and goes to show that holographic effects needn't be in your face to have a significant impact on the appearance of a polish.

Such a rich, deep, luscious looking polish! It looks fantastic on you. It is so intense.
