Winter has well and truly arrived in Australia, so I decided to pull out a bright pink polish to lift my spirits. Today I've got Test Your Love by Hare Polish from their Coin Operation collection, inspired by "the world of antique, coin-operated arcade & carnival games of yesteryear." Test Your Love is described as "a raspberry pink jelly with flakies of gold and silvery white!"
I first found out about Hare Polish from Temptalia, and their consistently high marks made me eager to try them out. I fell in love with the flakies nail polish trend when it first came out a few years ago and even if it's not really in fashion anymore I still love it - I get the shine and complexity of a glitter without the pain-in-the-behind removal! Test Your Love has a squishy, jelly-like finish and when it's dry, it almost looks matte. In direct sunlight, the light will still pick up a sheen from the flakies so it was a bit difficult to capture in the photographs; the difference is much more noticeable in person. While I do love the look of matte nail polish, after I photographed my left hand without top coat, I sealed it with a top coat to help it last longer. I love how the flakies are in the nail polish instead of a separate topcoat like I've used in the past so I can get a jelly-sandwich look (sandwiching a glitter polish in between layers of a sheer jelly polish) with flakies suspended in the layers, all in one polish. Application was easy, I was able to get thin, even coats without streaking and I used three layers to get full opacity and cover the nail line.
