Ninja Polish Cover Band Sticks'n Stones - swatches and review

Today I want to show you a great top layer polish from Ninja Polish! It's a really cool black and white glitter mix in a clear base.
Ninja Polish has created a dupe to the immensely popular, and extremely hard to get, Lynderella polish "Connect the Dots". They say it's a tribute and not a copy.
In the pictures below I'm wearing two coats over Marionnaud "Lime Tonic".



GOOD TO KNOW ABOUT STICKS'N STONES:

Type of polish: Glitter.

Colour: Black and white hex, round and bar glitters and occasional holo micro glitters in a clear base.

Dupe: A perfect dupe Lynderella Connect the Dots.

Opacity: This is two coats.

Formula: Very good! Easy to apply. No fishing for any of the glitters needed.

Brush: Very good! No complaints.

Shine: Shiny on its own so I have no top coat in these pictures. For a smooth surface you need a top coat though.

Accurate colour, photo vs IRL: Accurate.

Grade: 4/5 :)

This is such a fun top coat! Since it's black and white it will also look good on every possible polish! When I got it I didn't know it was holo in it so that was a pleasant surprise! The holo doesn't really show in my pictures but it is there I promise, even though it's very sparse. I will definitely try this over other colors, I'm thinking perhaps over pink next time.

How do you like Sticks'n Stones?
What do you think about calling a dupe a tribute instead of a copy?
