Forest Pools - Born Pretty The Rhine

I'm bringing to you flakey fun today!

[Forest Pools]

This is The Rhine from Born Pretty's Emerald Road series. This densely packed bottle of flakies was sent to us from Born Pretty for review.

[Packaging for The Rhine]

[Nail to bottle]

I'm rather liking this fancy packaging. The decorated white box with the little window does make it feel classier. And the bottle itself is pretty snazzy itself, with an elegant matte grip for the brush's handle. I also liked that they named the nail polish collection and all the nail polishes this time, instead of just sticking to a bunch of descriptive words or random numbers. Overall, I'm really digging this new look!

Now, enough on the exterior, onward to the nail polish!

The Rhine is densely packed with multichrome flakies, with a colour shift from blue to brilliant green to bronze to magenta-pink. It's also got holographic microglitter in the mix. They have to be used against a black base for the colours to really stand out. Alas, my camera absolutely refuses to capture the flash of magenta pink, but it's actually very strongly present in person.

The strongest and most obvious colour shift is from green to pink. I wish I could adequately photograph that! The flakies and holo are densely packed enough that with three coats, the base is barely visible, as seen above.

These photos are for one coat of The Rhine over a black base. I have got to say, I think I actually prefer this, where you can still mostly see the base. It provides a sharper contrast to the colour of the flakies.

Here's a shot that managed to capture the holographic glitter, which is especially visible under bright indoor lighting.  All in all, this is a satisfactorily shiny multichrome flakey with holo to jazz it up.
