Hidden Potential Nail Polish 0.5 oz Full Sized Bottle

This polish is gorgeous. Very wide range of colors, depending on the light. Copper to mint to aqua for the iridescence, and the polish itself is a jelly purple. Truly multichrome, not just a flip flop. I love it! I ordered "Black" which is labeled "Hidden Potential" on the bottle. Make sure to add a little thinner to it as you go - initial consistency is great, but after using it 3 or 4 times it started to get just a little thick. Great polish!

Hidden Potential is aptly named, and I adore it. When I first tried applying it, the first layer looked like gross greenish glitter in a mauve-y base, with no color shifting to be seen, and I was so disappointed I gave up and used a different polish. I recently gave it another go and I wish I had sooner! Once you apply two or more layers, the nail polish really comes to life and has a ton of color shift. In some lights and angles it looks coppery with red and purple playing at the edges, in others it looks predominantly blue with purple. In some lights I have no idea what color it is, but it is very pretty! Definitely give this one a chance- the listing photos are gorgeous (and I have had my nails look like the colors shown in the photo), but it is somehow even more delightful in person. The formula is also very nice to apply, and makes thin even layers achievable without gloopiness or streakiness!

Just LOVE this nail color. 😍

This polish is described as a "Multichrome Shimmer Base" but the finish is a jelly aurora shimmer, not the metallic shine of a multichrome like the ones I have from ILNP. It's very similar to another polish I own and I wouldn't have gotten it if the description had been accurate. That said, if you don't already have a purple based polish with a warm aurora shimmer this is a good one to grab. The thing that makes these polishes so pretty and shifty is the contrast of cool base/warm shimmer. It mostly looks either warm purple or copper, but turns blue at extreme angles and can also show a bit of gold or green. It applies well and is opaque in 2-3 coats as expected.

Very pretty, shimmery polish

Bumped my review to 3 instead of 2 stars. It's ok. Medium purple base with gold shimmer. Looks nothing like the marketing pictures. At first i wasn't sure how people were getting the blue/greens in their pictures along with the purple and gold. I tried all kinds of lighting and it was still just so purple. I had to put 3-4 coats on and finally got the more rainbowy effect. Which brings to the next point, consistency is pretty goopy and thick and drags to the edge of my nail creating a ridge. Will not dry. Give yourself at least 1-2 hours before doing anything with your hands....personally this is really hard to do for me.... If I had to say, it's like a cross between holographic and chromeshift. Not quite holo and not quite chrome. If you want more colorshift, put one layer over a metallic shimmer aqua/teal base.

I don't use it as a top coat. just apply a couple of coats and it is ready to go. I do put a top coat on to make it wear a little longer. But as for the shine, it doesn't need a top coat.

If I could leave zero stars I would. I was very excited to try this nail polish because nail polish never lasts on me. I read in an article (that took me straight to Amazon to order this product) about how good this nail polish is and how it lasts for a long time. It did not last but 24 hours . I painted my nails at night (so they dry well and I have no pressing cleaning issues to attend to) the following morning when I got to work my nails were chipped. The color chipped and chipped, just horrible. For the price I paid it was the worst nail polish I ever used. I did use a top coat etc. etc. Do not waste your money. Also, my daughter, who is very intro nail polish and having nice nails tried this product and had the same problem as me, chipped right away lasted about 48 hours.
