Creator Pam describes Personal Hotspot as "a bright raspberry pink base filled with a sparkling variety of fuchsia holo glitter." The overall color of this full-coverage microglitterbomb is a showy deep magenta with aspects of red-violet and raspberry, something along the lines of magenta dye, aka rich magenta. There's a certain fresh quality to it that I find unusual for this shade, due in part to the dazzling sparkle of the highly-reflective metallic fuchsia microglitters, which read mostly as shocking pink through the base. The interesting on-tone visual texture of the glitters creates depth, liveliness and a sense of drama, all of which add to the polish's spirited character. Direct sun generates a lush blanket of brilliant prismatic sparkle.
Application was great! The consistency of Personal Hotspot is fluid, light and smoother than I expected, with a medium viscosity and a fluent, even, self-leveling glide over the nail. For a full-coverage microglitter, it is particularly easy to manipulate with Girly Bits' flattened, flexible brush. Two coats renders evenly opaque coverage. I did my cleanup as I went along, while the polish was wet, and had no problem removing extraneous glitters. Personal Hotspot dries naturally in very good time to a sandy-textured finish. I used a layer of gel-effect topcoat followed by a layer of Seche Vite for a smooth, glossy look.
Photos show two coats of Personal Hotspot over treatment and basecoat topped with a layer of Pretty Serious Plump Up the Volume topcoat and one coat of Seche Vite.

I love this kind of deep purpley-pink color, and in this polish we have a fabulously sparkly version of it. In certain lights, that sparkle reads as bright red in addition to shocking pink, which amps up the drama -- very show-girl-esque!
Pam's full-coverage microglitters are only slightly more time-consuming than cremes to remove with regular polish remover. Not difficult at all. Win!

What's the removal like for this one, Liz? I bought some of the Sequins collection and found them to be really easy to remove for glitters. Is this one the same? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt takes more effort than a creme, but does come off completely with regular polish remover. You won't have any trouble -- enjoy your microglitter!
