Application was dreamy. The consistency of Shades of Autumn is fluid, light and very smooth with a medium viscosity and a silky, self-leveling slip over the nail. Pigmentation is excellent, delivering wearably opaque coverage in only one coat, although I used two for the photos. Cleanup is easy. Shades of Autumn dries naturally in very good time to a beautiful shiny finish. Topcoat does not appear to affect the holographic properties in any way.
Photos show two coats of Shades of Autumn over KBShimmer Love You Strong Time treatment and KBShimmer Fillin' Groovy basecoat with a topcoat of Seche Vite.

So much oomph to this beautiful rich purple! The holographic effects are bright and lively, great for those times when you want your purple holo to really show its stuff. It will also make an excellent after dark polish as well as it has an eye-catching red-violet flash under incandescent light.
All three of the polishes that I've tried from Lavish's Fall 2016 collection have impressed me with their well-pigmented, user-friendly formulas, powerful holographic effects and gorgeous, dimensional color. Gonna keep an eye on this brand!

Hahah, when I first read it was a purple, I was congratulating myself that here was one I wouldn't want since purple has never been a color preference of mine, usually. And then you parade out your photos of it! I swear, you are going to make a purple convert of me yet, lol!
ReplyDeleteIf all purples looked like this one, it would be a snap. No hill for a climber!
DeleteI think that what you and I both appreciate in this polish is the unmuddied, rich and vibrant quality of the color. It's almost as if Emely formulated these Fall 2016 shades around that concept as they all share this pure saturated color characteristic. It's the kind of thing that makes your eyes happy!
