Similar to Amethyst, Denim came with a QR Code sticker and scanning it would lead to Star Trinkets, piCture pOlish's Network Memeber right here in sunny Singapore! These QR stickers seriously make online shopping much more convenient, especially on your phone!
And now, two close up bottle shots to show you the shimmer and flakies in Denim!
Denim had a similar formula and consistency as Amethyst (or is it the other way round?), which was on the thicker side, but nothing unmanageable. Two easy coats and you're good to go!
And now, presenting to you, the shimmery and mini-flakie siblings!
They really do have the same finish and I love that Denim now has a purple sister! This is two coats of each polish.
Bonus time! I have another comparison which I was very curious about when I was considering whether to buy Denim or not. This is Essie Smooth Sailing VS piCture pOlish Denim.
This is two coats of each, taken under artificial lighting.
The first difference is their colour. While both colours can be classified as cornflower blue, Denim is much more purple than Smooth Sailing, which my pictures sadly do not show very well. It's something like Essie Lapis of Luxury vs China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le. Both lie in the same colour family but one just looks more purple.
Finish wise, both polishes have a similar mini-flakie finish but Smooth Sailing's finish (as its name would imply) is smoother than Denim's. It like someone put Denim in a blender and blended it up a little. Denim also has an underlying blue shimmer which Smooth Sailing does not.
Lastly, Smooth Sailing has a thinner consistency than Denim but both covered well with two coats. Sadly, even with Smooth Sailing's easier-to-work-with formula, Essie's anorexic brush pull the
Bottom line: I love friggin' Denim, Amethyst and Smooth Sailing. That's all folks!
Stay tuned for swatches of piCture pOlish Orbit!
