Application was wonderful. The consistency of The Deep End (H) is fluid, full-bodied and smooth with a medium viscosity and a silky, even, self-leveling slip over the nail, a gorgeous formula that is a pleasure to work with. Pigmentation is excellent. With the proper mojo, it could very well be one-coater, but that would be a disservice to the nature of the polish. The addition of a second coat is necessary to make the most of the holographic effects and adds lushness and density to the brilliant colors. Cleanup is fairly straightforward. There's a bit of pigment travel but very little, if any, trace staining. The Deep End (H) dries naturally in very good time to a smooth finish with a satiny sheen. Topcoat adds a becoming gloss and actually serves to accentuate both the holographic effects and the multichromatic properties.
Photos show two coats of The Deep End (H) over treatment and basecoat with a topcoat of Seche Vite.

My photos only approximate the splendor of this polish in person. It is sublime!
While I am not a huge fan of multichromes generally, the colorway of the shifts in this one is truly stunning and the addition of holographic pigment creates a sumptuous visual texture that, to me, is much more aesthetically pleasing than the simple semi-metallic look of a straight multichrome. It illuminates and dimensionalizes the colors and infuses them with that exquisite, pinpoint holographic sparkle that I love.
Gorgeous beyond words and much more overtly shifty that my photos might lead you to expect, this is without a doubt one of the most amazing polishes I've had on my nails so far this year, and I don't say that lightly. Unless you absolutely cannot stand blue polish, it's an otherwise unqualified must-have. You owe it to yourself as a polish enthusiast to experience it in person.
Leah Ann LaRowe, kudos, props, salutes and a standing ovation with showers of tossed red roses to you for this utterly spectacular piece of polish composition!
love,
