So, for how much it goes for a bottle ($18) I was expecting across the universe by deborah lippman to be exquisite, amazing, unbeatable. Because I firmly believe that 18 dollars is pricey for polish, especially because there are many brands that manage hundreds of 3-free colors for under ten dollars, even under five.
The application of Across the universe was really chunky, and uneven. Now I have worked with several chunky glitters before and I have found that some are chunky and go on uneven, but many manufacturers have been successful in creating smooth polish with plenty of multi-sized glitter.
That being said, it still looks kinds hot. I think that if you choose to get this color, be sure to take care in how its applied, especially by using a lighter, but good base coat. The blue glitters reminded my boyfriend of fishscales, but to me, it kind of looks like the ocean, or the glitter in the billion dollar engagement ring Kate Middleton got from prince rich English man. ugh
