Different Dimension Resfeber

Resfeber (English pronunciation: reece-FEE-ber, or thereabouts) was released last month by Indiana-based indie polish maker Different Dimension as part of the Wanderlust collection, a fantastic set of seven holographic polishes named with uncommon travel-related words that was inspired by creator Missi's desire to travel. Resfeber comes from the Swedish word meaning "the restless race of a traveler's heart before a journey" or "tangled feelings of anxiety and anticipation." 

Officially described as a "lush scarlet holo with contrasting added shimmers," the color here is a deep cool-toned purple-leaning rosy berry kind of shade, almost a magenta but with more red to it, very like Pantone's rose red. Abundant holographic pigment creates dimensionalizing hues of violet, claret and red-violet within the base in ambient light and adds a lot of fine sparkle to the look. I believe the added shimmers must be golden, as the glistening red underlay and flash have a golden sheen to them. And in the sun there's a brilliant linear display dominated by an arc of glowing indigo edged with a compact corona of bright prismatic sparks.

Application was fabulous. Like the other Wanderlust polishes I've tried, Resfeber is beautifully formulated. The consistency is fluid, creamy and dense with a medium viscosity and a plush, velvety, self-leveling glide over the nail that has a bit of pull to it. Pigmentation is outstanding, with evenly opaque coverage in a single medium coat, although I used two for this manicure to make the most of the polish's holographic properties. Cleanup is straightfoward with a bit of pigment travel but very little residual staining. Topcoat does not interfere with the holographic effects in any way that I could tell.

Photos show two coats of Resfeber over treatment and basecoat with a topcoat of Seche Vite.

Such a vivacious, feminine color, and the prismatic effects are just splendid! This will make a wonderful after dark red too as the rosy golden sheen really glows under incandescent light.
