Shimmer Polish Jasmine

Well, now.  I'm finally getting back to one of the Shimmer polishes I was sent for review a few months ago!  I thought I'd pepper them over the next couple of months so you guys get a good hit when you least suspect it!  Haha!  Tonight, we're going to check out Shimmer Polish's Jasmine!  The color in the bottle kinda sorta reminded me of my favorite Jasmine, Princess Jasmine from Aladdin!

Isn't she purdy?

Color: Clear base with teal, copper, gold, and pops of blue and red glitter.

Finish: Glitter Top Coat – glitter in a clear base to be worn as a top coat.

Bottle / Brush: Round bottle – the brush and wand are the standard width and length.  Easy to control and manipulate.

Opacity:  Glitter topcoat – not designed for full opacity.  HOWEVER, I'm pretty sure that this bad boy is dense enough to apply three coats for full opacity.  Granted, you'll have to deal with the fallout of having to scrub off three heavy coats of glitter.  So yeah, up to you...

Glitter Application:  Medium – requires the dab method, but glitters are easy to extract and spread evenly.  It only required the dab method because the base was just so densely packed with glitter.

Consistency: Thick – thick or it can be clumpy, but is easily remedied with some polish thinner.

Overall Ease of Application: Medium – applies well with minimal clumping, dragging, or balding.  Spreads well without much manipulation.

Stampability: Not designed for stamping.

Dry Time: Quick – dry to the touch without smudging in under 3 minutes.

Overall Thoughts:  Yeah, this polish was a surprise for me.  In the bottle, I wasn't sure how much I was going to like it as I'm not the type to typically go for golds, but as soon as it was on my nails it was looooove.  I can't wait to try it over a cream or white.  Here, I've worn it over Indigo Bananas Immortal Game, which is where the pink flash comes from.  Application was easy for such a densely packed glitter.  The glitter to base ratio for this is strongly in favor of the glitter over the base.  The dab method worked perfectly with just enough glitter coming off of the brush and onto the nail.  All in all, I really like this polish way more than I thought I would.  I'm starting to see a trend here!  Cindy has made me fall in love with golds and coppers, which I didn't think could ever happen!  So, hustle on over and grab yourself a bottle!
