Officially described as a bright red linear holo, Out Damned Clot is a brilliant ruby color with a glowing, dimensional, molten finish. The holographic effects are extremely responsive and athletic, generating an anologously-hued prismatic flare even without direct light: defined, flame-shaped arcs of violet, marachino, raspberry and crimson that float over a gleaming, semi-metallic ruby underlay. We are without sun here again today, but I imagine the display would be sparkly and even more intense in the sun!
Application was fantastic! The consistency of Out Damned Clot is fluid, light and creamy with a thin-to-medium viscosity and a silk, self-leveling slip over the nail. It is amenable to thin or thicker coats and even though fast-drying still allows plenty of time to finesse the application, very user friendly with an all-around superb, eminently-paintable formula. Pigmentation is outstanding, delivering evenly opaque coverage and full bottle color in only one coat, although I used two for this manicure. Cleanup was easy, with remarkably little pigment travel for such an intensely-colored shade, and no residual staining to speak of. Out Danmed Clot dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, shiny finish. Topcoat does not inhibit the holographic effects in any way.

Fabulous! You'd have to work hard not to love this vibrant little dazzler -- unless you just didn't care for red, in which case all bets are off. Fuzzy says it reminds her of satin lingerie. Well! I guess she would know! It's wildly feminine, I think, and simply glows on the nail, really showy and attention-grabbing.
love,

Lovely polish, and I especially like that violet in the flame!
ReplyDeleteRed holos really lend themselves to the violet/indigo aspect of prismatic effects, don't they? It's an exquisite combination of colors!
