Avon - Violetta Sparkle

I have one of the sweetest cousins ever. She was ordering stuff from Avon and got me two polishes plus some nail rhinestones for no reason at all (well, other than she knows how crazy I am about nail polish :D). One of the polishes is this one named Violetta Sparkle. It is a dark purple base with golden copper flakes. A really gorgeous polish and perfect for this time of year. This is the first Avon polish I tried and I can officially say that I'm impressed.

It applied well with full coverage in two coats...

    This is a beautiful color. I've seen it in the Avon catalog, but haven't ordered it... yet. I really like Avon polishes. I think they are easy to use, come in great colors, and are reasonably priced. Just my thoughts anyway :)

    This is a stunning polish! I ordered this from my Avon girl and they shipped the wrong polish, so I have to wait a while to get it. Grr! Oh well, at least I get to keep the other one. Anyways, this looks amazing on you! Way to go Avon.

    I don't have any Avons in my stash. I might need to change that! This reminds me of the Zoya fall collections, the way the gold flakes are in there so beautifully. :)

    btw, TAG you're it! http://polishartaddiction.blogspot.com/2011/12/nail-polish-tag.html

    The worst part about these brands is having to buy by catalogue. Well, Avon does have a few stores, but not many.

    This was my 1st time trying Avon too. I was really impressed with the quality and love the color. I'm glad that all of you liked it too!
    I guess I'll have to find an Avon lady soon :)

    @Theodora & Leslie, Thank you so much for the awards and tags! I will post them soon :D

    You won't believe me, but my neighbour literally bought me this shade and the gold one a few days back. She knows how much I like nail polish and she ordered these when she placed her Avon order :D
    They look great on you! Can't wait to play!
