Don Deeva Glocks & Poprocks (H)

Today's polish is Glocks & Poprocks (H) from Florida-based indie polish maker Don Deeva and I'm thinking it was released not too long ago, like earlier this fall, as the holographic version of a multichrome with the same name. Creator Danette describes it as a "red/purple/magenta/orange" multichrome, which I've come to think of as the sunset colorway. The primary color, the one I see most of, is a medium-dark Mardi Gras purple, sometimes appearing silvery and almost pearlized, sometimes nuanced with violet and sometimes rich, bold and direct. This purple transitions through magenta to a fiery flame color as you turn your fingers into the light, with various gradations and mauve/berry iterations along the way. The addition of holographic pigment softens the typical metallic multichrome finish, texturizing it with delicate, sparkling, prismatic effervescence in ambient light and creating a dazzling linear holographic flare in the sun.

Application went well. The consistency of Glocks & Poprocks (H) is fluid, dense and smooth with a medium-to-thicker viscosity to which I added polish thinner at the outset. Thinned, it still retained a dense feel, with a plush, full-bodied, self-leveling flow over the nail that went on most easily for me in slightly thicker coats. Pigmentation is very good and delivers a wearable opacity in two coats, although I used three for maximum multichromatic and holographic goodness. Cleanup is easy. Glocks & Poprocks (H) dries naturally in average time to a smooth, shiny finish. Topcoat does not inhibit the holographic properties in any way.

I love the rich, dramatic colors of this shifty polish -- it's my favorite multichrome colorway and some sort of transition is almost always visible when you've got it on your nails. The holographic effervescence is always present as well, adding an exquisite, dimensional mist of tiny, sparkling motes in rainbow colors that builds to a prismatic crescendo in the sun. Glorious!

love,
