Salon Perfect - Pink Shimmers Review

As promised, here are the three remaining colors of the Salon Perfect shades sent to me for review.
From left to right: *Berry Pink, *Plum Sorbet, *Bubblegum

Two coats of each: Plum Sorbet (thumb and pinky), Berry Pink (index and ring), Bubblegum (middle), shot indoors, with flash.

Sadly, my camera didn't do a great job of capturing the shimmer in these shades but take my word for it, it's there.  It is more subtle in Plum Sorbet and Berry Pink and a bit more obvious in Bubblegum.  I've got to say, though they are really pretty, all three of these polishes gave me some issues.  Plum Sorbet and Berry Pink were a bit thick and challenging to work with.  Bubblegum was thinner but left a touch of vnl after two coats.  However, these were not huge problems for me.  Would I have preferred for the thicker polishes to be a touch thinner?  Sure!  Were the colors still awfully pretty?  No question!  As for Bubblegum, I suspect that a third coat might have been wise but, to be honest, I prefer not to have to work that hard for opacity.  I  have a feeling it would be really beautiful layered over another color and I intend to use it that way in the future.

As I mentioned in my prior post, these shades will be available in many Walmart stores beginning next month.  If you try them, do let me know your thoughts.
