As far as application, the pictures show 2 coats. It's pretty even and opaque in 1, but to ensure it was completely even I did two. The polish itself is quite thin despite it's high pigment. I often found that I had way too much polish dripping down the brush and would have to wipe the brush once or twice while painting a nail. Not a huge deal, but notable. Brush strokes are minimal and mostly evened out as it dried. It also wears fantastically! (Last week's polish did too and I don't know if my nails are just in better condition or if these polishes are longer wearing than I'm used to. I think it may be the former.) I know this wear well because I wore it for half of last week before repainting this week. :) Needless to say, I highly recommend "Better Not Pout!" So far I would highly recommend this entire collection. This shade it beautiful, paints pretty well, covers wonderfully and wears spectacularly. Definitely check this out if you get the chance! :)
It's Monday yet again, which means time for another featured nail polish! This week's pick is yet another shade from the new China Glaze Cheers Holiday Collection for 2015. It is called "Better Not Pout" and it is stunning! :) Yet again the pictures do not do it justice. It's showing a bit more reddish-fuchsia than it is in person. I couldn't get an accurate depiction of the color - if anyone has some tips for doing that in particular with purples, please let me know! Anyway, "Better Not Pout" is what I would call the perfect jewel-toned sugar plum. It's somewhere between fuchsia and purple with a slightly metallic finish. Absolutely beautiful and actually this was the polish that made me so interested in the China Glaze Holiday Collection. I love "Better Not Pout!!!" Beautiful.
