Glam Polish Get Otter Here

I've been oogling over Glam Polish for a long time now. Back in August I decided to cave and buy some of the Under the Sea collection. The swatches I saw of these showcased eye catching pastel holos with microglitters and I was in love, but how did I feel when I saw them in person? This is one of the colors I picked up.

Get Otter Here

Get Otter Here is a lavender holo with blue micro glitters.

Collection: Under the Sea August 2015

Color: I love the color of this that's why I bought it. I love lavenders and this one is the perfect shade. The holo and microglitters were icing on the cake. That being said, this color looks a lot more dull and muddled than I was expected based on various swatch photos. In various swatch photos they looked crisp, vibrant, and magical. I'm sure it's because of certain peoples cameras, lighting, angles, and what not. This color isn't bad though at all though. It's definitely pretty, it just not what I expected.

Formula: Formula on this application wise was good. I didn't have any trouble with that. I used 3 coats. The formula is a bit grainy and dries matte so top coat is needed.

Price: This is $11 on the Glam Polish website.

Overall: Meh. I feel so meh and sad about these. I really was expecting some magical unicorn stuff right here, and I'm just not getting that. It's still pretty and had I not seen photos that look better than my result, I'd honestly probably adore Get Otter Here. I just had certain expectations in my mind and they were not met. My recommendation? Look at tons and tons of swatches before you buy. Don't let one, two, or even four swatch photos make up your mind for you. Research!

My Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Paint Splatters

Happy Wednesday!
