Note: I applied this polish on October 8th and took the photos on October 11th
Fig is a wonderful purple with a slight shimmer. I would say it is a cross between a cream and a shimmer. It shines but it goes on like a cream. The color really reminds me of grapes and it looks mainly like grape jelly.
On top, I put on Lovely in Lilac. In the bottle it looks like it may be a glitter with a dark base but it is clear on the brush. I would not recommend wearing it on the nail alone, however, you may be able to get opacity with a few layers. I have not tried it. It is full of pink pixie dust sized circles. It is really lovely and I think it would look great paired with both darker and lighter colored polishes. For Fig, it really blended into the color so it isn't an overpowering glitter with Fig as the base.
Application was a little difficult for Fig. The first coat was a bit streaky but the 2nd layer really filled it out. For some reason on my nails, it did not want to stuck in certain spots. This may have been my error not putting on the same amount as the rest of the nails as I did them in a hurry. The dry time was really good for a Sinful Colors polish. Lovely in Lilac went on really well with also a good dry time. I did one layer of Lovely in Lilac.
