Happy 2018! It's that time again, and I've remembered to check out the brand new Pantone Colour of the Year... =)

[Pantone Color of the Year 2018 - Ultra Violet 18-3838] |
Here it is - Ultra Violet! The actual swatch seems to be a slightly dusty violet shade but I loved the galaxy illustration they've got going on here.

The shade I chose for this is from the Dance Legend Wow Prism holographic collection - this one is Just Another Star. These polishes feature a large particle scattered holo which really brings the galaxy theme to mind.

In terms of shade, this one is a pretty true purple, not really leaning red or blue. The formula is a bit on the thin watery side so I needed three coats to get a nice rich colour. On the plus side, it self-levels well and dries quickly to a nice smooth finish.

The holo particles do not stick up at all! In diffuse light, they look like a mild silver sparkle, giving the shade an overall dusty look. However, with direct lighting or sunlight....

Voila! Sparkles galore! I think I didn't swatch this for a while because of the sheerness, but I have to say, dry time is short enough that it's not a big deal to do three coats.
Alrighty then, that's our first post of 2018 - perhaps the idea is that perseverance is key! =p
