But anyhow, I wanted a classy polish for this interview and even though it's a glittery scattered holo polish, it's kind of muted in color and not obviously sparkly indoors. Check it out:

| Outdoor, sun--you can see the sparklyness a little bit here. |

| These pictures are very similar...I have such a hard time picking between two that are so close, I just put all of them in haha |
 |
| There we go...blurred slightly so you can see some of the scattered holo effect! |
 |
| This is indoors, hotel bathroom lighting, decently accurate coloring here |
 |
| Yay! holo! |

| This is probably the most accurate color-wise and you can see some of the scattered holo here | too |
So I really liked this polish although the holo-effect is minimal. It's a dusty mauve-pink that actually looks like a spin on the classic mauve polish. I like how indoors the sparkle isn't obvious, it just gives the color some depth, which is why I thought it was appropriate for an interview!
The pictures I showed are with three coats of OPI DS Opulence, but you definitely could've stuck with just two--I think I was just bored in my hotel room and added another coat! The sad thing was that even though I used a non-quick-drying top coat (which I like to use when I have time since SV and Posche sometimes peel off after a day or two in layers), it started chipping the next day--but luckily it started after my interview. I peeled it all off completely while on my flight home (bad habit!!). It probably would've lasted longer if I wrapped my tips with both the polish and the top coat, although it is quite common for the holographic polishes to chip right away, I think!
Besides all that, the formula was fantastic and dried decently quick on its own! I definitely recommend the OPI DS polishes; the formula and brushes are always fabulous but the price...not so much. I have a hard time shelling out $12 for a polish, but luckily I found these for much less at a supply store!
I know this isn't one of the most desired DS polishes, but I liked it--do any of you have it/like it/want it?!
