This is a lovely shade, and I'm surprised by how well the colour shift occurs. When cold, its a dark grape.
When warm, mine doesn't shift to a magenta pink like you see in BSG's picture, but instead, a dusty mauvey pink. Its still a dramatic change, and it is beautiful. Natural nails feel strong, and product has does not easily chip. Fully opaque in 2 coats.
I ordered this gel back in August 2020 (7 months ago now) and finally got around to trying it today. I’m pretty disappointed with the formula. It’s extremely think and stringy. I did 2 layers and the polish is so thick that I’ll probably end up removing it from the one nail that I used it on, as it looks a bit strange. It hasn’t been opened and all of my gels and polishes are stored upright in a dry place which is not exposed to sunlight. I’ve never had issues with any of my other BSW gels and I also used “Neptune” Phases Gel for my manicure and the formula is great. I tested the colour changing and it’s just “meh” for both polishes. I probably won’t try any other colour changing gels, I’ll just stick to the regular gels. It’s too bad, the colours on the website look like they could be amazing, but unfortunately for me, they just aren’t great.

3. Apply in a thin and even coat

Love both shades tons of sparkle
This particular color was very thick and goopy and stringy and hard to work with. I reached out to customer service and they attested all gels with hexagonal glitter is thick and goopy, which i disagree with. Love the effect, hate the texture.

It is a unique idea and very intriguing, however the colours didn't turn out as nice as I anticipated. The pink is very sheer. I put on an excessive amount of layers because I kept expecting a nicer colour. However, I wouldn't recommend against it. It is still a nice nail polish.
