Bid Adieu to Your Ennui is officially described as "a matte, ocean blue shade that is filled with blue-green shifting shimmer." The base color is a bold, rich variation of azure along the lines of the web color royal blue. Superabundant ultrafine shimmers in a cyanic shade of electric blue create a dimensional, radiant swath along the axis of light of the matte/satin suede finish, giving the polish a gorgeous glow.
Application was great! The consistency of Bid Adieu to Your Ennui is fluid and full-bodied with a medium-to-thicker viscosity to which I added a couple/few squirts of polish thinner at the outset. Thinned, it had a fluent, silky smooth glide over the nail with the same outstanding self-leveling properties as Dishing Just Desserts and A Party for Calming All Your Nerves. Pigmentation is very good, delivering evenly opaque coverage in two coats. I used three for this manicure to ensure fullest, richest color, but I don't think that it significantly altered the look. Cleanup is easy. Bid Adieu to Your Ennui surface dries very quickly to a matte finish but remains tender underneath for a while longer and is easily marred during that time.
Photos show three coats of Bid Adieu to Your Ennui over treatment and basecoat, no topcoat.

How gorgeous is that, eh?!
LPL's Christmas Kiki collection is my absolute favorite of all the holiday collections that came out this year. I loved the concept and inspiration, "Let's Have a Kiki" by Scissor Sisters; the three exuberant, jewel-tone colors were fresh and exciting and beautifully formulated and that matte finish just bewitchingly beautiful. Each of them is equally fabulous, I cannot choose a favorite. They are sold out in LPL's shop at the moment, but you can follow Lollipop Posse Lacquer on Facebook to find out when Karen does a restock. I say, get all three!
love,

Wow, what a beauty!!
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteYour photos of this collection have been fabulous, showcasing them very nicely. As you say, these polishes are so unique - don't recall any other polishes that resembles them. Thank you for bringing them to our attention!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lara. I can't remember when I've loved a collection as much as this one, even if I didn't get the fourth topper polish. The shimmers just couldn't be any more perfect with the matte finish and such brilliant, exuberant colors! Heavenly! And great fun to wear, too. They made my eyes happy.
