Halloween may be over, but I'm now totally in the mood for warm, rich fall colors, so when the man suggested red, I grabbed a deep, dark one.

Mercury in Retrograde, from the 2018 April PPU, is so far my only Supernatural Lacquer. This beauty is a slightly blackened red with scattered holo and ultrachome flakies thrown in.

It also has a fairly amazing coppery shift when the light hits just right.

I'm wearing 2 coats here, which brought this to complete opacity. The formula was slightly thicker than I usually like, but it leveled perfectly and stayed where I put it without pooling or running, so I'll call the thickness a plus here.

It's the sort of thing that has a slightly different appearance in all lighting conditions, with either the flakies or the duochrome effect or the holo shining a little brighter in turn.

I had plans to stamp this one.. and yet, somehow it just really didn't need it, even several days later.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. This is an imminently wearable red: not so blackened that it's mega-vampy, but darker/warmer/a touch more brown than classic red in such a way that I think it'd be flattering on most skin tones. The thickness of the formula meant that it wore a little more quickly than ideal, but then again darker polishes always show wear quicker.
Where to buy: since PPU is a single sale and then done, stalk blog sales & destashes to score a bottle.
