The man picked "dark blue" when prompted for a color suggestion, but instead of reaching for one of my newest sparkles, I went for something a little deeper into Mount Untried.

Triumph is a lovely dusty denim/slate blue filled with silver holo flake. I feel the grey undertone in this blue would make it really wearable for most skin tones, and the moody stormcloud color is just about perfect for the non-stop rainy weather that's flooded the east coast for the past few months.

I have several other polishes in similar finishes - opaque color with holo flake - and found Triumph to be surprisingly sheer and borderline watery. The base is very much a jelly, and while it's thick enough that the flakes lie flat and smooth in it, 3 coats were absolutely necessary to get it to the bottle color. For a color this saturated at the final look, I found 3 coats to be highly unusual.

I didn't quite make it "all winter/holiday all December" but I finished up the month with the most wintry design of all. I've stamped with MoYou Mystique, a barely blue-tinted silver chrome, using snowflake designs from BP-01 and SZT-B7.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars. I absolutely love the borderline neutral of this color. It's earthy, wearable, moody, and the holo flake does double-duty acting like snow or stars when it's not flashing rainbows (due to the total lack of bright sun around here). The 3 coats and the really quick edgewear and even a few chips within 3 days, though, I could do without.
