Picture Polish Pandora



Picture Polish Pandora is a part of Opulence Shades collection and is a re-release of Ozotic 624. Pandora is a purple scattered holographic jelly. It tends to look closer to violet in the shade. Pandora contains no glitter and dries smooth on the nail. I had no issues with application of this polish. The removal is easy, and I haven't experienced staining so far. I've used two coats of Pandora and a top coat for these swatches. 

I'm a bit disappointed with this one, to be honest. In my opinion, the holographic particles differ from those in Cosmos, Kryptonite and other holographic jellies by Picture Polish. Holographic particles in Cosmos make it look deep, for the lack of better word. Particles in Pandora are smaller, and there are lots of them. I'd say, Pandora looks pretty flat for such a polish. Sure, it's all sparkly and glimmering with the right kind of lighting but you don't get that a lot in real life. It also makes my fingers look reddish and yellowish, and I am definitely not a fan of this sausage-y look I get. I've tried to adjust lighting to get rid of this effect but wasn't exactly successful.

A close-up of the nails plus photos in the shade and in the sunlight can be found under the cut. I personally prefer the way Pandora looks in the shade. It becomes darker and more violet than purple, so my fingers seem whiter.
