Application was almost as dreamy as the color, with the outstanding formula I've learned to expect from this brand. The consistency of Spring in My Step is fluid, creamy and dense with a medium viscosity and a nearly effortless, perfectly self-leveling glide over the the nail. Just a delight in every way! Pigmentation is very good with two coats delivering completely even opaque coverage. I very nearly managed a totally clean manicure with this polish -- a rarity here in hand tremorland -- so I had very little cleanup to do and what there was, was easily done. Spring in My Step dries naturally in very good time to a smooth shiny finish. Topcoat does not inhibit the holographic effects of the polish in any way.

This is possibly my favorite Il Était Un Vernis shade after Pinot Noir. It's absolutely stunning and sadly my photos do it no justice. In person, the color is slightly richer and more green than you see here, and the flakies are easily visible on close inspection. The holographic effects as well are stronger than what I could capture on this overcast and rainy day.
You'll need to see the subtle, delicate beauty of this one for yourself. It's worth it, I promise!

What a beauty! Even though it shifts through so many colors, it also looks like it is subtle enough to be a neutral? Lately, I have been wanting polish on my nails but I want polish that doesn't shout out its presence. But I still want it to be interesting. From your photos, it looks like it would fit the bill!
ReplyDeleteI think it would suit your needs perfectly! It's lovely on the nail, sleek and unassuming but with that specialness you're looking for. Even Fuzzy noticed how elegant it is and made a point of saying several times how much she liked it.
