China Glaze Go Crazy Red + Fairy Dust

    Happy first day of July!! Can you believe that it's already July? This year is flying by so quickly. But it is July and on this fine day, I have China Glaze Go Crazy Red, which I believe is from the core collection. 

Go Crazy Red is an apple red, slightly metallic base with tons of gold microshimmer.

     As soon as I saw Go Crazy Red in the bottle, I was like omg no. I just knew it was going to be another boring red. But I was very pleasantly surprised once I got it on my nails, because it's actually quite pretty. Bright and punchy, it's a great summer color and its slight metallic quality  makes it look super smooth and sexy. If Jessica Rabbit was real, she'd totally have Go Crazy Red in her stash. But my favorite part of this polish is that I can actually see the golden shimmer! I couldn't get it to show up too well on camera, but it's very visible in person, especially in sunlight. That's always been my annoyance with similar colors, because the shimmer would be prominent in the bottle and then pull a disappearing act on the nail. Go Crazy Red doesn't do that, which I appreciate.  

    Go Crazy Red's formula was pretty unremarkable, in a good way. It took three coats before becoming completely opaque and although it wasn't perfect, it also did not engage in any polish-related tomfoolery (dragging, streaking, etc.). 

As much as I liked Go Crazy Red, it made me restless after a while (ya'll know how I am with the reds), so I tried it with some Fairy Dust on top.

       I really like this combination! You can't see that well in these pictures (yes, I suck extra hard today), but the glitter is so sparkly and holo in most lights. I also think it looks great against the base color.

And that's all for today! Thanks for reading, and enjoy your Friday!! ^_^
