Creator Adina poetically describes Her Rose Adagio as "faded roses in a silver prismatic base." The color is sort of a pinkish almond or very pale pinkish taupe along the lines of champagne pink, a delicate neutral blush with a finely-grained sandy aspect that is heavily silvered by superabundant ultrafine holographic pigment and reminds me of stone-washed silk. It is exquisitely holographic, generating a gorgeous dimensional flush of palest yellow and shell pink that travels up and down the nail with the light. In the sun, there is a shimmering, diaphanous prismatic display, a seamless, flame-shaped gradient of gentle rainbow hues bounded by delicate rosy beige around the edges of the nail.
Application was delicious. The consistency of Her Rose Adagio is fluid, full-bodied and creamy with a medium viscosity and a plush, buttery, self-leveling slip over the nail. Pigmentation is very good, delivering completely even opaque coverage in two coats. Cleanup is easy. Her Rose Adagio dries naturally in very good time to a beautiful glossy finish. Topcoat does not affect the holographic properties of the polish in any way.

It's almost a YNBB shade! The holographic effects are responsive but sophisticated and delicate, making it eminently wearable for work or professional occasions. On the nail, it's like a pair of fine kid gloves, with a pronounced sense of graceful decorum that is not unlike the beauty, elegance and fluent dignity of Fonteyn's dancing. A masterful polish composition and a loving tribute to one of the most iconic ballerinas ever!

Lovely post, and doesn't she look beautiful on your nails!
ReplyDeleteThank you, lasoti! This is a beautiful, very elegant polish, I love it!
DeleteEven though this polish is relatively neutral, it has such a silky lushness to it. A stunning polish.
ReplyDeleteYes! That silky lush quality is characteristic of the holos from A-England. I love it so much.
