The theme for this week on tPF (if we/I chose to partake), was HTF or rare nail polishes. I don't have too many HTF or rare polishes since I have a relatively young collection and missed out on some awesome polishes this past decade. However, I participated in an RAOK (random act of kindness) on the nail care subforum on tPF and was gifted an dazzling set of simply gorgeous and a-maz-ing nail polishes. When I opened the package containing this...my jaw dropped.
Beautiful, huh? A vial of bottled sparkly rainbow!
By itself, Clarins 230 is a bit sheer with a sheer violet base with a multichromatic shimmer. The formula is thin and easy to control. I chose an untried purple I purchased in Vancouver, BC to layer under - Joe Fresh Orchid. I didn't photograph the base color by itself (doh!) but it is a medium red-based purple. My gripe about the Joe Fresh bottles were the larger diameter bottle cap with a short brush. My small stubby fingers can't grasp and control the polish as well as I'd like though the formula itself was pretty smooth.

I love the rainbow of shimmer particles that change colors with different lighting and angles. I'm definitely going to play more with Unicorn Pee in the future (tee hee).
This looks AMAZING!!!!
