Color is awesome! If you hold your hand one way, it's a mauve type color. Directly in the light, it's a blue sparkle with mauve on the sides like the picture. It's not as pink as I thought, but the mauve and light blue accent each other in a cool way. I've tried other brands where the bottles look like this two-tone sparkle, but then you put it on and, uh, no. Buy this color for an outrageous (but not too wacky) polish.
