piCture pOlish: Amethyst

In the past few days, you may have noticed a massive swatch spam of piCture pOlish's newest shades on several blogs. Although I did not take part in the Blog Fest this year, Susan of Star Trinkets, piCture pOlish's network member from Singapore, kindly sent a bottle of Amethyst to us for review.

Amethyst was created with Susan of Star Trinkets, is exclusive to Star Trinkets & piCture pOlish and forms part of our Collaboration collection. When we asked Susan about her shade she said 'how about purple denim' so that is what has been fashioned! A stunningly beautiful blend of textures and glitters so really what more could a girl ask for? Well according to past history people believed amethyst crystals guarded against getting drunk so perhaps keeping a bottle in your handbag is a good thing!

How cool is that? Susan's very own collaboration shade! I may or may not be just a tad jealous! lol! ;)

So here's my very first piCture pOlish!

Amethyst. 3 coats.
The twin to a popular piCture pOlish shade, Denim, Amethyst is a beautiful purple with a slight dusty-grey tinge, giving it a slightly smoky look. It is filled with electric blue shimmer and a sprinkle of purple/fuchsia shimmer. The blue flashes are so strong that Amethyst looks almost duochrome on the nails - really cool. To top it off, there is a scattering of silvery-white flakes to give it an interesting textured look. <3

Application was really good.
The formula was thin but not too watery. It is opaque in two coats but I added a third for a richer color. I had an urge to try layering it over a dark purple but my a-england orders are not here yet so I guess I will have to leave that for another day.
The brush was really easy to work with too. I hardly needed clean up! *impressed*

Overall, I'm rather pleased with piCture pOlish.
Apart from the polish, I also love the witty tag-lines they have added on the bottles. Too cute! Really fitting for their quirky and vibrant image. :d

So, what do you think of Amethyst?
