Application was fantastic. The consistency of Is it Monday Yet is fluid, creamy and dense with a medium viscosity and a mag-lev smooth, self-leveling slip over the nail -- a superb, eminently paintable formula, as I've learned to expect from Il Était Un Vernis. Pigmentation is outstanding, delivering evenly opaque coverage in a single medium coat. Adding a second enriches the color a bit and you get more of the shimmers that way. Cleanup is easy with no pigment travel or residual staining to speak of. Is it Monday Yet dries naturally in very good time to a beautiful shiny finish. Topcoat enhances the presence and effects of the shimmers.
Photos show two coats of Is it Monday Yet over KBShimmer Love You Strong Time treatment and Pretty Serious All Your Base basecoat with a topcoat of Seche Vite.

I love cool browns -- umbers, wenges, taupes, walnuts, coffees and the like -- for their poise and modern, urbane style. I mean, how elegant, graceful and sleek is this polish? It's an elevated look!

This is such a luxuriant, elegant polish - something not said of many brown polishes! I love the depth of it, with those glorious shimmers. I am so loving the shimmer trend that has been happening this year. I know they can get over-much and edge into frost territory (bleh!), but I have been seeing some mighty fine shimmer coming out. This polish is a fine example of such!
ReplyDeleteThis polish is a great example of the Il Etait Un Vernis experience -- creative and eminently wearable color with a superb formula. Those gals know what they're about!
DeleteI have always loved the chunkier, microflake/flakie sort of shimmers! You never have to worry about frostiness, and the flakes create depth as well an interesting visual textures.
