Rimmel Violet Metal
Rimmel Violet Metal (I know, I'm very late on these!) is an incredibly beautiful shade of violet with a strong blue flash of shimmer. I used 2 coats and photographed this under an Ott lamp. In lower lighting you see much less of the blue and it appears as a violet shimmer.
This is such an interesting polish--the first coat was quite streaky and it has almost a fuchsia undertone, as you can see around my cuticles. After the second coat, it becomes much more of a violet and the blue shimmer just takes over under any brighter lighting. It also has a duo chrome to it, which shifts from the violet, to blue, to a much redder tone of violet. Yesterday I posted Marine Blue, which I was very impressed with also. Nice job on these, Rimmel!
