 Berry Smoothie

Berry Smoothie is a burgundy red with golden shimmer throughout
(a pic with flash to show off this shimmer!)

First coat:

 first coat was perfect, no streaks and not sheer at all! I was surprised because it is a water based formula so I expected it to be sheer and runny but it was the same as any other polish. I did have a little bit of trouble with the brush, it was less stiff than I'm used to using so it got all up in my cuticles but with some practice I'm sure I'll get the hang of it!

Final Thoughts

This is a 8/10 for one reason only-it takes a long time to dry. I am in LOVE with the color, the formula, everything except for the dry time. I will still definitely be rocking this color all the time but with my busy schedule quick drying is something I look for in a polish. This one recommends 1 hour to dry but I found it only took about 30-45 min (depending on coat thickness) before I could go about my day without worrying. Another amazing thing about this polish is that it doesn't have that typical polish scent. This one gives off more of a sharpie type scent but more subtle than that, its a major upgrade and makes my mom happy because I'm not stinking up the house with polish! Removes easily with a typical nail polish remover and leaves no stain!

side note: top coat really helps bring out the golden shimmer in the polish😉
