Application was lovely. The consistency of Dead Man's Toe is fluid, full-bodied and creamy with a thicker viscosity to which I added a bit of polish thinner at the outset to make it more compatible with my skills. Once thinned, it delivered a smooth, even glide over the nail that self-leveled as it set up, which it does very quickly. Pigmentation is very good, showing a little bit of translucence on the first coat as befits a creme/jelly hybrid formula and building easily to completely opaque coverage with the second. Cleanup is easy. Dead Man's Toe dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, slightly flat finish that wants a glossy topcoat to look its best. Topcoat also enhances the presence and effects of the shimmers.
Photos show two coats of Dead Man's Toe over KBShimmer Love You Strong Time treatment and KBShimmer Fillin' Groovy basecoat with a topcoat of Seche Vite. Apologies for cuticle gnarliness!

This muted greyish green has the interesting characteristic of being simultaneously soft and edgy, a versatility that could easily be capitalized upon by what it is worn with. Softer, more subdued colors to harmonize; brighter, bolder colors to contrast. The unexpected pink sheen and sparkles work beautifully with the green, adding a certain sophistication to the look that elevates it to something really special.
