The shimmer is special as in some lights it looks silver and in others gold, ooh magic! The way the shimmer seems to sit on the colour, it gives it a nice textured appearance and this is what makes it unusual. As above without flash  Formula wise it went on really well. The first coat had some patches, but by the second coat that all evens out for a beau...
