Officially described as "a squishy jelly red polish filled with holo and red micro metallic glitter," Big Apple of My Eye is a vibrant medium pigment red, bold, energetic and beautifully balanced between warm and cool. Abundant tiny microglitters produce a twinkling, ruby slippers effect in ambient light and explode into a blanket of bright prismatic sparkle in the sun.
Application was a pleasure. The consistency of Big Apple of My Eye is fluid, light and smooth with a medium viscosity and an even, silky, self-leveling slip over the nail -- a user-friendly, eminently-paintable formula that is just what we've learned to expect from KBShimmer. Pigmentation is very good, delivering even, opaque coverage in two medium coats. Cleanup was surprisingly easy for such a bold, saturated red, with minimal pigment travel, sticky glitters or trace staining. Big Apple of My Eye dries naturally in very good time to a slightly flat finish with a bit of texture from the microglitters, easily smoothed by a generous layer of topcoat.
