I’ve had this polish in my drawer for months now but have never worn it because I was so disappointed with the way it looks IRL compared to the swatch on the website. After looking at a few other people’s swatches (here, here and here) I’m starting to think I got a dud bottle. I can only describe it as muddy red.
I was appalled at this colour when I first applied it but it’s growing on me now. I don’t really have anything else like this in my collection – probably because it’s kind of ‘blah’ and wouldn’t stand out to me if I saw it on a shop shelf – so I’m not going to throw it away but it won’t be a polish that I pick out very often. I can’t even think of any occasions when this would be a good shade to wear.

It was really hard to pick colours to match for the nail art but I think I picked some good ones which have helped in making me like this colour a bit better.
