Color: Black base with pink to blue shifting shimmer, hexes in various sizes and shades of pink, and light pink dots
Finish: Glitter Shimmer – glitter in a base that shimmers in the light.
Bottle / Brush: Squat mini bottle with slender cap - The squat round bottle makes holding it easy while the cap is long enough to hold without any problems. The wand and brush are longer than your average mini, which makes getting the goodies at the bottom a little easier.
Opacity: Medium – achieves opacity at three to four coats. Here, however, I have layered one coat over Cult Nails Nevermore, a one coat black polish that I absolutely love.
Glitter Application: Medium – requires the dab method, but spreads evenly.
Consistency: Medium – applies easily and doesn’t flood the cuticles.
Overall Ease of Application: Medium – applies well with minimal pooling, dragging, streaking, or balding. Spreads well without much manipulation.
Stampability: Not designed for stamping.
Dry Time: Medium – dry to the touch with minimal smudging in 3-8 minutes.
Overall Thoughts: The shimmer in this polish is INTENSE. Actually, that may even be an understatement. Holy crap, you guys! The shift from pink to purple to blue is nothing short of stunning. Plus, I love the varying shades of pink glitters giving the polish depth despite the fact that I only used one coat. I was afraid that the shimmer would be way too overpowering if I did several coats, so I chose to use one coat over Cult Nails Nevermore. I'm actually glad I did it this way as it's not too busy, which would detract from the beauty of the polish. Application was a breeze, but it did require a little more cleanup than the other Jindies I've shown you this week. While the consistency was fine, it wasn't as easily controlled as the crellies. Keep in mind, though, that I'm talking about my own user error. Otherwise, Guns & Roses is a very pretty shifting shimmer with a delicate mix of hot and pale pink glitters.
