Ulta- High Roller

Normally, I am skeptical about store brand polishes (except for Formula X), so I was a little bit apprehensive when I got this as a free gift with some Tweezerman tweezers I bought in August. Today, I thought I might give it a try. Here Goes:
The first thing I noticed was how different the polish looked on my nails than in the bottle. In the bottle, it looked like a very fine small silver glitter polish, but on the nail I noticed that it was in fact a mixture of silver, gold and holo glitters in a gold base. Very interesting. One downside to the polish is that the glitters are not very dense and the gold base is very sheer, so I could still see the boundary between my nail and free edge after 4 coats. All the pictures show 5 coats.
However, one thing that this polish beats its competitors with is its smoothness. Normally, glitter polishes apply very coarsely and require at least two coats of a topcoat to get a satisfactory finish. This little guy, however, did not. It reminds me a little of the silver (like the element) particles used in some higher end polishes like CHI, or the ceramic effects line of Layla polishes. The finish seems very strong and like it will last some time without much wear.
