Review: Circus by Andera's Choice "Ringmaster"

Fresh paint! (Also, a review.) I just did my nails this morning in the color "Ringmaster" by Circus By Andera's Choice. I received this in one of my Glam/IPSY bags a while ago, but never felt it was a good time to use it until now.

This is a bright pink color, as you can see. Very bright. It has an orange hue to it. Unfortunately, this is not a favorable review. I had heard a lot of complaints about this polish when IPSY started sending them out in their bags, but I paid no mind; I had received the white shade, Reverso, in a previous bag and love it! Reverso is thick, which I know a lot of people do not enjoy that type of formula, but I really like it; I can get away with 1 coat, but usually use 2 just to smooth out. However, Ringmaster is not like Reverso. While they both dry fast, which makes layering easy, this one is very streaky and after 3 coats I gave up on making it look 100% opaque. It has a semi matte finish to it, which I find neat. Other than that, I can't see myself using it or even giving it away. Since neon colors are so popular now, I'm sure I could find a similar shade from another brand, so no loss tossing this one. From a distance or just a glance it looks fine, but if you look up close you can lines and the fact that it is still quite see-through in some parts.

The picture above is a natural, outdoor photo with no flash or filter. You can see the patchy, streaky, spotty parts better too. The bottle is nice looking. For those interested in purchasing- official website says "sold out", but they sell all 5 colors they offer for $29.95 + shipping. The bottles are .45 fluid ounces and it is the Big 3 Free. Like I said, I received mine in my IPSY bag and I have no idea if or when Andrea's Choice will restock. I would say this color is not worth restocking though.
