Described as an intense magenta purple holo with deep blue microflakes, the color is a vivid, saturated, medium-dark variation of red-violet with a purple lean, something along the lines of fandango. Holographic pigment gives it a glowing heart of electric violet in ambient light with a stealthy, glistening underlay of reddish steel pink, and enriches the color with nuances of fuchsia, dark magenta and burgundy. In the sun, the violet heart intensifies and there's a sparkling linear prismatic display predominated by azure and bright red.
Application was great! The consistency of Lion Scarecrow Tin Man is fluid, dense and smooth with a medium viscosity and a full-bodied, self-leveling slip over the nail. Pigmentation is outstanding, an unequivocal one coater. I used two like I always do, to fix lines left wanting after the first coat, but it made no difference to the look. There's some pigment travel with cleanup as you might expect from a profoundly saturated color. Lion Scarecrow Tin Man dries naturally in very good time to a slightly flat finish that wants a glossy topcoat to look its very best.

Sleek, feminine, dramatic and, I think, wildly romantic on the nail, this polish is the red-violet of my dreams. I can't even tell you how much I love it. Simply fantastic.
From what I understand, this polish is similar to CbL Courage Brains Heart, so if you missed or can't lay your hands on Lion Scarecrow Tin Man, you could give that one a go.
love,
Liz
Polishes like this kill me. It's so beautiful and the addition of holo is just the cherry on top.
ReplyDeleteI think the holo is everything, it adds so much richness and dimension to the color. It takes it to a new level. It just doesn't get any better!
