Cosmo is described as a "darkened royal blue matte polish with an intense flash of blue and purple shimmer." I'm not really sure what the color has to do with the drink (Cosmos are
usually red in my experience) but I can roll with it because it's such a
gorgeous color. Fair warning, I did wear this awhile ago so my memory is a bit fuzzy on the details. I don't recall having any major issues, though I think the formula was just ok. I can't remember the number of coats I used, probably 2 or 3!
(Ugh, apologies for the lack of clean-up! Looks terrible but I remember being too tired to deal with it at the time.)
Here's a quick shot with top coat (still a bit messy-- I think I had trimmed my nails and then painted on an additional coat) so you can see how shimmery it is!
Gorgeous! My biggest issue with Cosmo is that oh boy, it wants to stain. Not necessarily your nails, but even with careful removal I felt like there was blue everywhere! This polish is also discontinued, along with the rest of the collection, but maybe it'll make a reappearance someday! I love these shimmery mattes, though-- they are so versatile!
Cat it's adorable. Matte makes it's superb. Blue is my fvt too. I have most of blue in my collection. But generally blue stains omits of the time.
ReplyDeleteI definitely prefer it with top coat since I'm typically not a matte fan but this is a gorgeous shade either way!
ReplyDeleteThe look of it matte and top coated are so different. I like the look of both of them.
ReplyDeleteI would prefer to wear matt polishes in winter time and gloss during summer and blue are just up my ally of polishes!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of this matte! I hear ya on the blue everywhere staining! It's SO MUCH FUN to clean off, haha!
