Enchanted Polish Purple Roses

Hey guys! Today I have another one of the more recent Enchanted Polish pretties to share with you. Purple Roses is a holo silvery purple foil. I have Austin Powers but have yet to wear it; it is said to be the same formula and consistency though. This polish was actually created to raise awareness for cystic fibrosis -- purple is the official awareness color for CF -- and part of the proceeds went to the Greater Illinois Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I think it is wonderful when polish makers donate part of their proceeds to charity, something that Chelsea actually does quite frequently. :) As for the polish itself, it is so, so sparkly in the sunlight, so beautiful! Take a look~

On my nails:
1 coat Innisfree Eco Peel-off Base coat
3 coats Enchanted Polish Purple Roses
1 coat HK Girl Topcoat

Application was pretty good, it was a little sheer but layered well in three coats, and one coat of topcoat was plenty to smooth it out, even though it is a little textured. I think it is interesting how different Purple Roses looks in different lighting, it is almost like a completely different polish! I confess when I saw the first pictures of this I wasn't a fan of the strong foil appearance (like in my natural light picture) but in the right lighting the foil+holo is so sparkly, it's absolutely dazzling :) Definitely glad I grabbed this one -- and for a good cause, too!
