I see red.
The lovely Demi of Baroness X graciously noted my love of all things crimson and offered to send me a bottle of Poison Apple, a deep and delectable brown-red from her Snow White collection. How could I say no? This thing is gorgeous. And is it just me, or does this work as a Marsala polish, too?

| Baroness X Poison Apple |
Poison Apple is a jelly based polish with a subtle, non-spectraflair scattered holo effect. The idea, and the point, is to let the richness of the base take center stage in any light, and be adorned by a demure rainbow with a propensity towards golden. It works beautifully. I adore this polish.

The formula is nice-- the brush does tend to overload but the polish consistency is easy as pie to control, so the inevitable pooling in the middle of the nail is easily rectified. I used three coats-- you could get away with two but do yourself a favor and let the richness and depth really shine through with three-- and one layer of topcoat.
Poison Apple and the rest of the Snow White collection are available for sale through baronessx.com and Baroness X's etsy shop.
Thank you for reading and have a lovely day!! ♥

That's a really nice red!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it gorgeous? You need it, Lisa ;)
DeleteIt really is a pretty red :-)
ReplyDeleteI so agree! A little more brown than I'm used to but super pretty.
DeleteOoh I love your description of this polish, hehe!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! :) Sometimes descriptions just roll right off the tongue/fingertips, lol. This polish was one of those cases.
DeleteI really like this color. It is super pretty and I love the collection that it is a part of.
ReplyDeleteIt's her best collection so far, I think :)
DeleteOH that is stunning!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it?! Demi did a beautiful job with this one.
DeleteIt is a great Marsala red!
ReplyDeleteYes! It is totally a Marsala, isn't it? :)
DeleteI admit, I am not jumping on this Marsala bandwagon but it looks so lovely on you. I guess this more red so I can see wearing this one! Great on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, doll! I'm not sure about the color makeup wise, but I do love it on nails.
DeleteThis is gorgeous on you, Liesl!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jessica ♥♥♥
DeleteWow this is a stunning polish (and looks stunning on you!) - definitely a marsala shade in my book and just beautiful. Off to check out the rest of the collection!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lindsey! ♥ The rest of the collection is equally gorgeous... I think I need Fairest of All in my life, too :)
DeleteOoh that is really beautiful on you! I need to try out this brand!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kellie :) I hope you try this brand out! She's got some gorgeous holos.
DeleteI thought this was a gorgeous Marsala! I wonder how it compares to KBShimmer's Men are From Marsala. This is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI wonder that, myself! If I remember correctly, the KB is linear and spectraflair, right?
DeleteGorgeous swatch!! Never heard of this brand so definitely taking a look!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Emily! ♥ Yes, she's been around for about a year, growing slowly but surely :)
DeleteThis is GORGEOUS! Squishy and sparkly!
ReplyDeleteYes!! Jellies make the best holo bases, don't they? :)
DeleteAbsolutely pretty. This is a favorite shade of mine to wear on my toes during the winter.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, that's a great thought! My toesies have been nekkid for a few weeks but now I want to paint them again :)
DeleteYup, marsala definitely was the first thing I thought of! What a beauty.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Glad to know quite a few of us agree. It really is lovely, isn't it? Demi did such a nice job.
DeleteIt's great to see a true red holo, even if it's scattered. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI don't feel like this is a true red (too much brown) but it is nice to see one that doesn't border on quinacridone (not that I'm picky, lol).
DeleteEasy to see why you love reds so much, they look great on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, doll ♥♥ I feel rather repetitive but I do love reds so much!
DeleteOoooh pretty! Gorgeous shade of red.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! ♥ It is a great shade, I agree.
DeleteThis is a really gorgeous shade and looks great on you. I really liked the Snow White collection. I've been wanting to try a Baroness X number lately...
ReplyDeleteGet this one, Mo! Your DH approves :D
DeleteI see red, hurts my head! ;) (-buzby from cygnus x1 forum... won't let me sign in...boo)
ReplyDeleteOh nm, it worked lol
DeleteOh nm, it worked lol
DeleteThis polish is so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat is the prettiest jelly holo I've seen. Gorgeous!
