A Pirate's Life for MEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

I've been to Disney World a bajillion times in my life.  The one ride my family would always insist we ride every single trip was Pirates of the Caribbean.  We knew all of the words to the song, we knew exactly where the canon fire would land, and we knew every creepy animatronic character there was.  So, of course, when the movie came out my entire family had to go see it with the family friends who always went to Disney with us.  I loved the first movie, so much, despite Kiera Knightley's horrible pout [She really gives Kristin Stewart a run for her money.]  


I mean, seriously.  She looks like the worst mouth breather EVER.

The rest of the movies were good, but not like the first one.  I was a little bummed when they decided to add elements of the movie to the ride, but I'm just a purist when it comes to my childhood favorites, I guess!  This story has a point, I promise.  And here it is: when I saw that Dollish Polish had created a polish called Yo-Ho, Yo-Ho, A Pirate's Life for Me, I knew I had to have it.  So stalk it I did.

Color: Deep berry red jelly with gold, silver, navy, and maroon hexes.


Finish: Glitter Jelly – glitter in a colored jelly base.


Bottle / Brush: Round bottle – brush and wand are the standard width and length.  Easy to control and manipulate.
Opacity: Medium – achieves opacity at three to four coats.  This is one coat over Gelish Black Cherry Berry.


Glitter Application: Easy – Spreads evenly without much manipulation.
Consistency: Medium – applies easily and doesn’t flood the cuticles.


Overall Ease of Application: Easy – applies well without pooling, dragging, streaking, or balding.  Spreads evenly and smoothly.
Stampability: Not designed for stamping.


Dry Time: Quick – dry to the touch without smudging in under 3 minutes.  Granted, I think that's because I only used 1 coat over a gel mani, so I didn't have to wait for several coats to dry.


Overall Thoughts: The application of Yo-Ho was fabulous.  I'm not sure about multiple coats, but it was perfect over undies.  The glitters came out easily and spread well.  I'm sure if you want more glitters than what I've shown here, you'd most likely need to go with more than one coat.  I don't think it would be wise to load up the brush with a lot of glitters because that will probably cause you to flood your cuticles.  While I enjoyed the application, I'm a bit confused about the inspiration for this polish.  I don't really know why she chose the color combinations she chose.  I don't really feel like it evokes Pirates of the Caribbean.  It is a very pretty polish, though, and I'm glad I added it to my collection!
