Wow. This is an amazing shade. The way the copper dances off of the cobalt is truly an intergalactic experience. One of the more expensive lines of polish that I own, Ray of Light is an electric indigo nail lacquer that is part of the 3D Holographic collection that is proportionately speckled with copper glitter.
I start and finish as usual: First one coat of Nail Foundation form Butter LONDON and I top it all of with Hardware top coat. In between, I started with my first coat of Ray of Light. It went on with a gel-like consistency. It was goopy but not in a dried-out way. It was more like the product was a bit separated even after a through mixing. I waited about one minute and applied the second coat. I could see the same goopy consistency as I pulled the brush from the bottle but like magic, it smoothly and evenly melded together providing a gorgeous finish.
I was in total love. I felt like I had just found my nail polish soul mate. But like all lovers long lost, that turned out to not be the case. 12 hours later it chipped. And not a little chip - 4 fingers looked as though I had applied this shade several days earlier. *sigh* I am left to wonder if this formula couldn't adhere to my Butter LONDON or was it indeed faulty. I will have to try it again sans base and top coats. As it stands, this $18 investment is barely holding on to 2 stars. I will try it again in a few weeks and update my review if applicable.
How about you, Gorgeous, do you have Deborah Lippmann polishes in your collection?
Which one(s) and what have been your results?
