Hi fellow nail polish lovers!! Happy Sunday! What a busy weekend this has turned out to be. Hope you guys are getting more rest than I am.
Today I have a Duri polish to share with you. I'm really loving this brand. Kingdom of Shadows is difficult to describe. The best description I could come up with was a deep berry jelly with lots of holographic shimmer. On the nail, it looks almost black at times, but it's so complex and that's what I love so much about it.
The formula is pretty good. The first coat was streaky. You also need to be careful and wait for it to dry to avoid balding. I used three coats, but could have probably gotten away with two if I was more careful with the application. In the pics, I used no base or top coat.

This reminds me of the sky at night. I'm not sure where the name Kingdom of Shadows comes from. I would call it Midnight Sky. Either way, I think it's a stunning polish.
What do you think of Kingdom of Shadows? Your type of polish?
This is indeed very complex, the pictures look awesome especially enlarged!
