Givenchy Vernis Please! 159 Dandy Moiré. This shade is a dark midnight blue with green, glue, yellow, red and silver iridescent shimmer. Click on the flash pictures and look in the bottle. The shimmer particles look holographic, but when you look closely, they don't seem to shift colors, they are actually all different colors. The bottle also shows a bit of green duochrome around the edges, but it doesn't show up on the nail. This polish looks incredible in the bottle, but on the nail it's really bland. It looks great with flash and in really bright sunlight, but in normal daylight and indoors, it just looks black despite all that gorgeous colorful shimmer. The shimmer in the bottle is unbelievable, I just wish it sparkled as much on the nail. That might be why I haven't worn it since 2008. That, or because the bottle is FREAKIN' TINY, (.18fl oz!) so I was subconsciously trying to conserve.
The formula isn't that great, either. It's incredibly thick and it doesn't flow nicely on the nail. The brush is hard to maneuver and the drying time is rather long. It's not because it's a few years old, it's been like this since the day I bought it. Another weird formula quirk is that it doesn't seem very shiny with topcoat. With a polish that costs $80 an ounce, you'd think the formula would be nicer!
The polish looks unbelievably gorgeous in the bottle, and the bottle itself is pretty cool as well... It just doesn't look blue and rainbow-sparkly on the nail. Maybe it's better that way, because if it did look the same on the nail as it did in the bottle, I'd be tempted to wear it all the time and I only have .18 oz of it!
It was fun to wear this for a couple days, but now it's going back in its box (the Vernis Please! box has polka dots on the inside!) until I feel like wearing it again three years from now.
