Emily de Molly ~ Scarlet’s
Red
Bright pink/red jelly with
red, hot pink and iridescent glitters in different shapes and sizes
Encouraged by the lovely Emily de Molly-polish I showed you yesterday, I
moved on to another EdM, namely Scarlet’s Red, which looks really great in the
bottle.
The formula is lumpy because of the big amount of glitter in the jelly.
It’s quite hard to apply; it’s especially difficult to apply it nice and close
to the cuticles! Drying time is slow, and we’re talking really slow. I applied
three coats before I was satisfied with the coverage.
The finish becomes rough because of the many glitters and it takes more
than one layer of topcoat to even it out.
Anyway – here’s three coats and a layer of topcoat:
The colour is amazingly vibrant, it’s really cool.
Do you like it?
The downside is that this never really dried on me. Next time I’ll try
it over a matching colour and then just one coat. The good thing about that is
that I didn’t experience any staining at all. I’ve seen a couple of bloggers
mention that it stains, but I didn’t have this on for very long because it
didn’t dry, so yay, I think. :D
Number of coats: 3
Drying time: Sloooow
Drying time: Sloooow
Finish: Jelly with glitter
Overall impression: I love the colour. The formula and the drying time not so much.

You've managed great with applying near cuticles! This nail polish looks funny and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, it IS a cheerful colour for sure :)
DeleteWhat a super fun nail polish! Love the glitter combo!
ReplyDeleteThat's nice to hear, thank you :)
DeletePretty colors but it looks kinda lumpy and not drying is not good. Unusual as EdMs are usually really good.
ReplyDeleteI simple don't understand why it didn't dry, that's so odd. I only know EdM for good quality as well! :)
DeleteIt's weird how some polishes never seem to entirely dry - it's a pity, it's really fun and bright to looks at...
ReplyDeleteI agree - perhaps I try again in the summer, where it's warmer :)
DeleteWhat an interesting polish. I do like the look of it :-) Strange about the drying though, I've never had that before :-|
ReplyDeleteI have a few polishes that have the same issue, but none of them are EdMs, so I'm puzzled :)
DeleteToo bad that it never dried, but t looks beautiful anyway! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)
DeleteThat's a hot red!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just! :)
DeleteBeautiful polish!
