Application was great! The consistency of Huckleberry Sparkle is fluid, dense and a tiny bit sticky with a medium-to-thicker viscosity to which I added polish thinner to create a fluency more commensurate with my skills. Thinned, it had a velvety-smooth, self-leveling glide over the nail that went on best for me in medium coats from a moderately-loaded brush. Pigmentation is excellent for a jelly-based polish, producing evenly opaque coverage in two medium coats. Cleanup is easy. Huckleberry Sparkle dries naturally in good time to a smooth, shiny finish. Topcoat accentuates the presence and effects of the shimmers and microglitters.
Photos show two coats of Huckleberry Sparkle over KBShimmer Love You Strong Time treatment and KBShimmer Fillin' Groovy basecoat with a topcoat of Seche Vite.

Lindsey creates some of the most soulful shimmer polishes you can find on the indie market right now, I think. Although her multichromes seem to be most popular, I love her skillful use of non-multichromatic shimmers within translucent base colors to create new, complex hues -- polishes that are full of drama and ambiance but are also eminently wearable. Huckleberry Sparkle has an eye-catching luminosity for a dark color, more so than my photos show, and displays a dreamy red-violet-to-purple-to-violet spectrum on the nail, exquisitely accented by the scattered twinkle of the holographic microglitters.
You can find Tonic Polish at Girly Bits and Color4Nails and as well as on the brand's website and in its etsy shop.
