I was rather puzzled at the results after applying this Of Quartz nail polish. The photos show a lavender holographic sparkle with a glossy finish. However, after applying just one coat, I ended up with a dull matte, dusty pink finish. It was not glossy at all, and it had a sandpaper feel to it. I tried putting a glossy topcoat over it, but the finish became gooey and wouldn't dry. The photos are really misleading. The color of the polish in it's bottle is actually a pink sparkle, and NOT a lavender shifting to green as shown here. My sister thinks the polish is freaky and was happy to take it from me. It works out okay for her but I'm really disappointed.
