Application was fabulous. The consistency of Butterfly Nebula is fluid and dense, with a medium viscosity and a fluent, even, self-leveling glide over the nail that is easy to manipulate with Different Dimension's slightly bushy flatten-style brush. It's a fast-drying formula that sets up fairly quickly and doesn't appreciate too much fussing, but the components are well-behaved and disperse evenly over the nail. Pigmentation is excellent for a jelly. You can get a wearable opacity in two medium coats, but adding a third coat provides denser color and maximizes the glitter payoff. Be sure to wrap your tips carefully to avoid any sheerness there. I did my cleanup as I went along and had no issues. Butterfly Nebula dries naturally in very good time to a shiny finish with some of texture from the glitters that is mostly smoothed with quick-dry topcoat. For a glossy, glitter-under-glass look, I applied a layer of gel-effect topcoat before a final coat of Seche Vite.
Photos show three coats of Butterfly Nebula over treatment and basecoat with a layer of Pretty Serious Plump Up the Volume followed by a layer of Seche Vite.

Those red glitters sparkle like crazy from within the violet base, the effect is amazing! I'd definitely call this a fantasy polish, dramatic, ornamental and just all out gorgeous! It will make a showy after dark lacquer as well, as those glitters fire up brilliantly under any kind of light. Love it!

Gorgeous! I have seen this polish, along with the others in the collection, and have been so impressed with it. I am glad to be seeing collections coming out with the flakies in them. I need to remember to matte them - makes them pop!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I completely forgot about matting it. I loved this so much I wore it for three days -- those red glitters just made my eyes so happy I didn't want to take it off! It got through Thanksgiving clean up in perfect condition, no chips!
