Top Shelf Lacquer Buzzed
Today's Top Shelf Lacquer Drunken Creme Fall Holo is Buzzed, officially described as a "light teal." It's a creamy, cyanic medium turquoise with a muted aspect in ambient light -- a subdued, indistinct quality also known among polish enthusiasts as "dirtied." It reminds me of verdigris. As with the other Drunken Creme Fall Holos, the holographic effects are subtle, giving the polish a touch of effervescence in indirect light and a dusting of delicate turquoise and gold sparkle in the sun with a vestigial prismatic flare.
Application was wonderful. If you've read any of my reviews of other polishes from this collection, you know how highly I think of the formulas and this one is exactly on par. The only thing that's possibly more impressive than the quality of the formulas is how consistently maintained this quality is across the collection. Fluid, light, and silky smooth with an eminently-paintable, thin-to-medium viscosity and a fluent, self-leveling slip over the nail -- in my opinion it's as perfect as a polish can be! Buzzed has very good pigmentation that will give you evenly opaque coverage in two coats with easy cleanup. It dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, shiny finish.

I like this polish much more than I thought I would. Muted shades often turn muddy against my skin tone, but this is bolder and more distinct on the nail than I expected from looking at it in the bottle, with a sleek presentation and a high-end feel. Nice!
