Ulta's Plum Perfect

I went on a nail polish shopping spree today! I hit up basically every store in the entire Polaris area that sells the stuff, and came away with six brand new colors, including today's Plum Perfect by Ulta.

This is a really rich creme, in a dusty violet color (which is much more muted in real life). The color really is lovely. In my opinion, it is straddeling the line between "retro-edgy" and "Grandma's church-goin manicure".

I had some diffuculty with application because this particular formula was kind of streaky. Fortynatly, it dried to a perfect high-gloss finish. No top coat needed!

Ratings:

Application: 7 out of 10. Streaky at first, but did end up looking great.
Color: 8 out of 10. Nice muted fall color, but not something I would wear all the time.
Clean-up: 9 out of 10. Came off easily with acetone free polish remover!
Appearance: 8 out of 10. Very glossy, and it is a lovely color, but I normall lean toward more "out there" colors.

More to come this weekend, including Icing, Orly, Warpaint (by Hot Topic, including a glow-in-the-dark with microglitter!), and pixel.

A tip for everyone in the Columbus area, the Trade Secret in Polaris Fashion Place is going out of business and everything is drastically reduced. OPI is about $6 a bottle, and I bought several OPI lotions for a buck! Happy hunting!
