I've long had problems with pinks. I like them, but my skin is pale and cool-toned (blue and pink undertones), and a lot of pinks just do not work. When I discovered that some berry or darker pinks would work, I went on a quest for them. This polish is one of those experiments. From the 2013 Couture de Minnie collection (Minnie Mouse, hence the name of the polish), this a medium-tone, medium-bright berry pink creme. In the bottle there's a slight, silvery white shimmer visible, but on the nail, the shimmer is barely perceptible. In some light, there are tiny flashes of it, but for the most part it just seems to give a bit of a lift and dimension to the colour. All I can think of when I wear this polish is bubble gum. I hate to use that phrase because it doesn't entirely do this lovely polish justice, but there it is. Rich, clear, juicy, pretty, bright, delicious, raspberry-leaning, bubble gum pink. This is about as bright a pink as I can go with a nail polish. It's almost too much for my pale complexion. It does work, but it makes my hands look even more pale and brings out the blue veins a little (not sure why bright pink would do that, but it does seem to have that effect; colour theory is weird sometimes). I include this for the benefit of any other cool-toned, pale-skinned folks who might be looking for a good, strong pink. The formula on this is very nice, smooth application, opaque in two coats, very nice finish. This polish makes me feel very girly, something I haven't been or felt for a long time. I like that feeling, and I like this polish. In fact, I like it so much I picked up a backup bottle of it.
