And now that fall has been started & celebrated, I'm of course right back to colors appropriate to whatever season, because that's how I roll.

Tonic Deep Sea-Crets is a luscious aqua that sits somewhere between teal and cornflower blue - most of the time, it leaned more teal for me, and I have this filed as a teal polish, but in certain lighting it went way over to blue. The bottle shot below is a bit too blue, but it did look close to this IRL infrequently.

Deep Sea-Crets ends up looking like a crème with a rich contrasty shimmer, but the formula is much more crelly-type sheer to let all that shimmer shine boldly in most all lighting conditions. Though the color was completely even and smooth at 2 coats, I could see more VNL than I'd like, so 3 coats were needed to get everything fully opaque. Each coat was just a touch sticky - don't over-manipulate, or it'll pull up the underlying coats.

The shimmer here is a little shifty, going from pink to coppery to greenish-gold at angles - check out the progression in shimmer color from my index to my pinky finger above.

Despite the 3 coats and just how full of shimmer this is, no brushstrokes were visible after topcoat. This stuff also wore like iron, with no tipwear or chipping, even lasting through several serious cleaning sessions and a surgical scrub-in this week.

I've stamped over Deep Sea-Crets using MoYou London Galaxy and a maze design from Xiuya-22, a Greek mythology themed plate.

Rating: a perfect 5 out of 5 stars for Deep Sea-Crets. Gorgeous color and amazing wear time, it just doesn't get better.
