Picture Polish Monroe

Continuing the Picture Polish love in....this beauty is "Monroe", a yummy red holo polish from the Australian brand.

Picture Polish Monroe - artificial light

Monroe is a dark claret jelly packed with sparkly holo glitter.  This had a similar formula to Hope and suffered from some unfortunate streaky, clump and drag issues.  With patience to let the first coat dry this can be fixed with a generous second coat.  Here I'm wearing my usual two coats with NE base and HK girl topcoat.

Monroe is a really classy polish, it's a sensible 'grown up' colour and the holo effect is not too blingy (but is sparkly enough to be fun).  In these swatches is appears quite pink leaning, but in real life it is more red than pink.

Look how shiny! I was a big fan of this polish, it would be a nice holiday polish come Christmas time but being a classic shade it's one you can wear all year round too (not that I ever pay attention to season when I pick my polish.  If I did I'd have to ignore Spring entirely - pastels? bleurch!)

I picked up my bottle of Monroe from Rainbow Connection UK (link in the suppliers page) for £13.50. It's a really cute shade, I'd definitely recommend this one.
