"Flying Dragon" is a neon Purple base with matching Purple glitter and some random Blue glitter. I must say the glitter is so unnecessary, it doesn't even sparkle in Sunlight and the effect is so muddied. The base color itself is not awful, it's just a standard bright Purple. The formula was your standard neon formula, thin and uneven. For this mani I used Three coats of color. This color dries hideous, VERY gritty! I needed two coats of INM Out the Door to smooth it out and give it shine and the Third coat I added after the stamping didn't hurt it... So yeah... I'm on the fence about this color; I don't love it and I don't hate it...
What do you guys think of "Flying Dragon"?

Plate: BM03
it looks great on you especially since you managed to make it look smooth.
ReplyDeleteI really like this color...i think i'm in a purple nail lacquer phase lately. I like the combo of the shiny purple with the blue glitter. But you've made me hesitant to purchse for the gritty drying. I think it's going on "to check out and maybe purchase list".
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty color :) But for some reason, even though I love purple, I never wear it, I see all these great purples, then I remember that I have purples at home that I never use... This one has blue in it though... I might just have to get it anyways :P (When I go back to the mainland though lol)
ReplyDeleteAlso, how did you get the Konad Silver SP to get to opaque?? I tried it out at the konad kiosk and it was SUPERRR sheer :/
I love it!
ReplyDeletethis color is so cool..i like it!!! xoxo Eli
ReplyDeletei think it's a really cool color, but i agree with you on the awkward likin or not likin thing:)
ReplyDeleteThis polish was, a few months back, a must have! I was in love with it, that shade of purple looks so great!
ReplyDeleteThe one thing I didnt know is that it dries matte..
And lately, there has been some complaints about that..
Well, I never saw this one matte, but nothing that a top coat wont fix!
;***
Gorgeous polish. I have it too and I just can say that I love it ;-)
ReplyDeleteKelly- I didn't do anything differently than what I would normally do to stamp with any other polish. Maybe that was a bad batch or something?
ReplyDeleteI love this polish, I'm sorry you it disappointed you =)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS POLISH. its my go to whenever im not sure what colour to wear, its just a dream come true. i dot have MAJOR gritty issues, just a little bit. :/
ReplyDeletei prefer it without topcoat personally, i think its a really unique colour. :)
