Hare Polish Flight Of The Flamingos Swatch And Review

Purchased

Wow, I just realized that Labor day is right around the corner!  Summer is coming to an end, and fall will soon officially be here.  Living in SoCal, fall doesn't really exist here so I don't get as excited about it as I did when I lived on east coast.  Fall here feels more like an extension of summer with the evenings getting a little more cooler than usual.  I really miss east coast fall, like watching the leaves change color, the crispness of the air, and the anticipated change of wardrobe.  What do you look forward to in the fall?

What, you want another Hare Polish?  Alright, alright, I have one more for you.  This one is Flight Of The Flamingos, a nude based crelly with gold and matte pink hex and square glitters.  Once again I didn't have any similar cream base to use as undies so I used FotF alone and achieved opacity with only three coats.  No clumping of the glitters and the formula was easily workable.  It's a bit topcoat thirsty - here I used a layer of Essence Gel Look Nails and NYC GCS but there was still some texture after the two layers of topcoat once it was dry.

On camera, there's still a little VNL, but IRL it appears opaque.  I like that this is a nude based glitter which makes it easily work appropriate.  I wore it for a meeting and didn't feel like my nails were screaming for attention.  Marvelously, there were still pops of pink and glints of gold when the light hit it the right way.  It's like having a little secret but on my nails.  I wasn't expecting to like this color as much as I did, but I think it may be one of my favorite from this collection.  Of the Hares that I've shown you from this collection, which one is your favorite?

  1. From your photos, I think I like Dancing Bird of Paradise best. You really did a spectacular job with that manicure. Still not sure if it's for me, though, due to my "large glitter" phobia.

    This one reminds me a little bit of Let Them Eat... What? from The Last Queen of France collection.

    1. You're totally right about that, it does look slightly similar to Let Them Eat... What? I think I prefer this one though...I wasn't a fan of the orange color in the previous color.

      I can't wait to see your swatches of the blue jelly!!
