Painted Polish Haute Parisian Nights

Haute Parisian Nights was released in November 2016 by California-based indie polish maker Painted Polish as part of the Parisian Indie Shop Trio, three polishes created especially for the Indie Shop event that month in Torrance, CA. 

One of the brand's Ultra Holo line, it's described as a bright pink with added silver holographic microglitters. The color is gorgeous -- medium-dark and cool but lush, similar to Mexican pink with aspects of raspberry and rose. Powerfully holographic, it is slightly silvered by the holo pigment, and possesses that delicious, finely-grained visual texture common to holos. A prismatic flare is visible to some degree at all times, with a semi-metallic raspberry underlay that adds a warm flash, the whole dotted with twinkling sparks from the holographic microglitters. 

The consistency of Haute Parisian Nights is fluid, light and smooth with a medium viscosity and a fluent, self-leveling slip over the nail, a lovely formula that I did no justice to with my reckless and clumsy application. Shaky hands, fibers galore, swipeage and flooding, collisions of wet polished nails with random objects and each other -- it was just one of those days. Luckily for me, this is a user-friendly formula, amenable to repairs on the fly, and cleanup is a breeze! Pigmentation is very good and delivers completely even opacity in two coats. Haute Parisian Nights dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, shiny finish.
