Lavish Polish Seductive Heels

Seductive Heels was released in late January 2016 by California-based indie polish maker Lavish Polish as part of the Lustful Trio for Valentine's Day 2016. Creator Emely describes it as a "cherry red holo base with flashes of violet and gold shimmer." The color is a medium-dark variation of ruby along the lines of Pantone's rubine red, deep but vivid. Abundant tiny microflake shimmers in violet and gold are easy to see thanks to a degree of built-in translucence to the formula, and add a twinkling effect to the polish's glowing semi-metallic crimson underlay. The holographic effects are subtle but add dimension, depth and a bit of sparkle, and in the sun there's a dispersed linear prismatic display with an arc of glowing violet (which my camera refused to pick up) and tiny sparks of prismatic color punctuated by flashes of violet and bright red from the microflakes.

Application was wonderful. The consistency of Seductive Heels is fluid, light and smooth with a thin-to-medium viscosity and a silky, self-leveling slip over the nail. Pigmentation is excellent, delivering wearably opaque coverage in one coat, although you'll want two for full bottle color. Cleanup requires a bit of care due to pigment travel and trace staining. Seductive Heels dries naturally in very good time to a smooth shiny finish. Topcoat enhances the presence and effects of the microflake shimmers and does not appear to affect the holographic properties in any way.

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

This beautiful, glowing shimmery red holo is perfect for holiday wear and displays a nice bright crimson flash under incandescent light. It deepens considerably in low light to gorgeous vampy-looking dark ruby red. Very nice!
