Picture Polish - Monroe reborn

You may have seen some sneak peak photos of the new reborn version of Picture Polish Monroe on their Facebook site.  Here are lots more photos and some more comparisons to the old version.

This is three coats of Monroe with a coat of Seche Vite top coat. As you can see, this polish now has those gorgeous larger scattered holo flakes - the same ones that are in Kryptonite and the Ozotic 600 series.  What I love out this polish is that it's like a darker vampier version of Ozotic 621.

Compared to the first version of Monroe, which was a little tricky with application to get it all smooth and non streaky, I found this version to be much easier to apply and it seemed to self level a lot better.  I could have got away with two coats, but I love the depth that three coats provided.





Here are the comparison photos.  You can really see how much sparklier the new version is, which is on my index and ring fingers.  The older version has a really subtle holo effect that you can just see in these photos.  The jelly blood red base looks to be the same in both polishes, but because of the sparkles, the new version looks a little pinker where the holo particles reflect blue and purple hues.



The reborn version of Monroe is available from Picture Polish for $11.50AUD or through their Network members (price varies).

I love both versions and I'm glad I have both in my collection, they are similar yet quite different. Which is your favourite?
