Once upon a time (wow, 4 years ago), I got a lovely midnight green Urban Decay LE as a holiday gift from Suzy, and though the color was pretty, I had some issues with the formula. Well, the constantly cloudy weather has me seriously rejecting holos and sparkly things, and I thought this was due another round.

Zodiac's deep forest green base appears to have thickened up over the years, though it's been tightly sealed this whole time and there was no obvious evaporation level in the bottle. I thought it too sheer and thin last time, and now, nope, 2 normal coats were utterly opaque and I had zero troubles with application even despite the long, tall brush handle.

Though the sparkles of golden-green, subtle hints of blue and purple, and flashes of emerald in here all make the underlying base look black, nope, it really is forest green all around. It's a good bit lighter than the similar sparkles in a dark base that is Crows Toes Green Eyed Lady, and certainly more green and more sparkly than Cirque Raven - these 2 were different enough that it wasn't even worth taking comparison pics.

If you're the kind of person who likes to match polish to events, this would be a lovely Halloween mani - not quite black, but 100% vampy - and would be a perfect base for any snakeskin/reptile nail art designs.
Mr Skullhead is still my fave bit ;)
