Its listing in Il Était Un Vernis's big cartel shop describes this polish as a desaturated blue with purple undertones, bearing holographic particles and golden/coppery microflake shimmers that have a green shift. The color is kind of like a rich, weathered Prussian blue, a deep, resonant shade with aspects of midnight blue and an almost nautical vibe. It has a dusty quality courtesy of abundant holographic pigment and coppery microflake shimmers, which stealthily speckle the finish with pinpoint motes and tiny microflakes that gleam occasionally when they catch the light just right. There's a subtle (by holographic standards), somewhat scattered prismatic flush of multicolored sparks in the sun, with an emphasis on green and gold.
Application was wonderful. The consistency of Farewell Party is fluid, dense and buttery smooth with a medium viscosity and a lush, creamy, self-leveling glide over the nail, a terrific formula that is easy to finesse with the brand's compact, flattened-style brush. Pigmentation is excellent and will deliver evenly opaque coverage in one medium coat, if desired. I used two. Cleanup is straightforward with some pigment travel and a hint of trace staining to dry areas. Farewell Party dries naturally in very good time to a beautiful glossy finish.

I don't even know if I can properly describe how profoundly appealing and satisfying this polish is to me, I find it irresistible! The dusty Prussian blue color is straightforward but has an underlying richness and complexity that is simply divine, with hints of copper hidden in its depths and a soft, creamy, weathered, utterly delicious kind of patina to it that reminds me of the old dark blue '68 Volvo 144 that I drove for years. I wouldn't call it bold, but it's charismatic and stylish as all get out. A fantastic dark blue -- LOVE!
