Ellagee Truly Scrumptious

Truly Scrumptious was created by Laura of Ellagee Polish especially for the February 2018 "Sugar Rush" edition of Polish Pickup. Described as "a scattered rosy pink holo with pink and iridescent flakes," the color is a light, delicate blend of pink and grey along the lines of queen pink or boto pink, with aspects of dusky mauve and a neutral, your-nails-but-better sensibility. Abundant holographic pigment gives it a silky, lustrous, finely-grained visual texture, nuances the base color with hints of champagne and silver pink and creates an exquisite prismatic bloom in pale, shimmering hues of azure, pink and gold in ambient light. My camera didn't really capture this, but across the surface of the polish, tiny scattered flakes glisten in nacreous shades of pale blue, lavender, baby pink and silver as light travels over them, adding a certain dewy quality to the look.

Application was wonderful. The consistency of Truly Scrumptious is fluid, light and smooth with a medium viscosity and a fluent, silky, self-leveling slip over the nail. Pigmentation is very good, delivering evenly opaque coverage in two coats. Cleanup is easy. Truly Scrumptious dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, shiny finish. Topcoat accentuates the presence of those gleaming little flakes and does not in any way interfere with the holographic properties of the polish.

I love this. The luminous, washed, sea-shell color is soft and sleek on the nail with a clean, soothing kind of vibe that makes for a particularly elegant neutral look. I guess you could call it a palette cleanser -- it makes me feel like I've been to the day spa. Really lovely!
