Smitten Polish The First Lobster - swatches and review

Smitten has really cracked the code on how to make awesome holo polishes! Every single one I've tried so far has been fantastic formula wise! So is this one from the Love Actually collection. This is The First Lobster and it's my contribution to Holothon 2.0 :)

I love that film Love Actually! I've seen it so many times and every time I look down on my nails I can hear that little girl proudly announce that she has gotten the part of the first lobster in the nativity play. Her mother surprisingly asking if there was more than one lobster present at the birth of Jesus and she's answering with a simple duh? and an offended expression on her face. Lol!

Anyway, this is two coats with a top coat.

A blurry pic to show off the pretty rainbows.

GOOD TO KNOW:

Type of polish: Holographic.

Number of coats: Two.

Formula: Excellent formula! You're in full control and no bald spots.

Brush: Quite thick straight cut brush.

Top Coat: Yes. 

Grade: 5+/5

This is a wonderful holo polish! Great formula and such a vibrant base color! I wasn't sure I liked it first but once on the nails I loved it! Perhaps not quite the color of a lobster in my eyes, more of blood oranges in my opinion. Really pretty when not showing its rainbows too which is not always the case of holo polishes.

How do you like The First Lobster?

  8. Hi doll, how I like The First Lobster? I love it and seeing the picture popping up in my Feed my first thought was how much I so far liked all those Smitten Polishes you showed yet!!! This is no exception and in this case I am quite glad, the color didn't match the name ;-). Have a lovely weekend, I hope Smilla is better. Here we are back to rain and there is one little buddy who is terribly relieved all that banging and cracking came to an end - viele Küsschen xxx
