It is officially described as a blue/purple/teal multichrome holo with holographic flakies. From the bottle, I had expected purple to be the most common/primary color on the nail. Not so! The main color I see is a medium, teal-ish variation of jungle green along the lines of Taylor Love Green. It is at its brightest along the axis of light and shades through deep blue to a dark indigo around the edges of the nail, dimensionalizing the appearance beautifully and adding a delicious, slightly sinister quality to the feel. Turning my nails into the light, the main color shifts completely to a medium purple with the same blue/indigo shading. Like magic! Abundant Spectraflair holographic pigment gives the polish a luminous, shimmering, finely-grained look flecked with tiny holographic flakes. Direct sun engenders a delicate, scattered display of the tiniest rainbow sparks, a fine, sparkling blanket of pinpoint prismatic motes.
Application was fantastic. The consistency of Call Me Councilman is fluid, light and silky with a medium viscosity and a fluent, even, self-leveling glide over the nail, a gorgeous, biddable formula that is a pleasure to paint with. Pigmentation is very good to excellent, nearly a one-coater but you'll want two for richest color and effects. Cleanup is easy. Call Me Councilman dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, flat finish that wants a glossy topcoat to look its best.

Generally speaking, I am not the biggest fan of multichromes (don't hate me!). What I really like about this one is that it doesn't have the reflective, metallic look that you usually see with multichromes. The abundance of holographic pigment in this polish gives it a shimmering, finely-grained visual texture, which I love. I also like the spookiness of the colorway, it seems to suite the AHS inspiration well, and the formula is perfection. An excellent shifty polish!
love,
