AMOUR - UNIQUE RUBY SWATCHES

Remember when I told you all about Amour - Unique Ruby I ordered from Trans Design? If not, click here and refresh ya-self!

I thought I was going to have to wait until my nails grew out longer before I would be able to swatch this. However, I figured out a way to still be able to swatch this , even with my nails as short as they are. Yes, I was that excited to try this out. I just painted two fingers with the black polish base, and two fingers were left with out the black polish base. Then I just split my thumb nail in half, and painted half black and left the other side unpolished, before I went over all my nails with Amour - Unique Ruby.



The black polish I used.



One coat each of the Carolyn NY and the Amour.

My thumb nail with only half of it polished with Black Out In The Bronx.










I must say I am underwhelmed with this. After all the talk of Contrasting Absorption, and Dual Color Effects and Interference Reflection - I guess was just expecting something more, like what they claimed would happen. I even took pictures in the sun, thinking that was where it was going to really "WOW" me, especially since it claims this nail polish "turns light into color". Ho-hum! I actually thought the shade pictures looked better than the full sun pics.
I feel as though I could get this same effect using one of the new China Glaze Summer Collection nail polishes over black. The formula of the polish was good, I had no complaints with that at all. I feel like if you claim it will happen Amour, then dag-nab-it, that's what I expect to happen! HA!
Would love to hear if anyone else has tried this polish and what your results and thoughts on it are!
