Massini Slamming Red

Massini is made by the manufacturers of Color Club, and they share many of the same shades. I believe this shade, Slamming Red, is only available in Massini, which is a Meijer brand product (meijer is like Super wal-mart for the midwest.) The texture of this polish reminded me of China Glaze Blue Sparrow or Flying dragon. It was opaque in one coat. I don't think glitters should be opaque, because they tend to get bumpy. I swatched this on a nail wheel, which is why I knew that more than one coat would only get lumpy. I had to top it with 3 coats of topcoat to get the results above, and as it dries furthur I find that it seems bumpy again. Below is a picture of the polish with only 1 coat of top.

You see what I mean? All of my favorite glitter polishes are more like jellies - it's so pretty when you can see the glitter through the layers of polish. This one, imo, doesn't work. I doubt I'll leave it on, but I want to see how it feels when absolutely dry. It's already turning matte again (it felt dry in the first photo, but wasn't all the way through.) It dried matte, again like the China Glaze polishes. It was rather thick, and I had to thin it out, but I find this is common with Massini polishes (but not with Color Club... I wonder why?) I hate the brush on these, which is large and somewhat uneven on all the ones I have. If you have the choice, stick with Color Club!
