NEW Orly Royal Navy

Today I tried out a brand new Orly polish that I bought. It's called Royal Navy, and it appears to have been just released since it had a tag around the neck of the bottle that said "new!" Usually I'm really pleased with Orly polish, but this was a little of a different story.

The polish itself is a dark navy blue with a vivid blue shimmer to it. In the picture, I put on three coats of the Royal Blue polish with a base and top coat. I had a lot of problems with balding because the formula was very sheer and thin, so a lot of layers was necessary. It was really hard to capture in a photo the glittery shine that's in there, too. I thought that the shimmer would be much more noticeable. I'm totally disappointed with the polish overall. The color is very vivid and attractive but the formula and the subtlety of the glittery shimmer is downright disappointing. I also feel like it's a color that I couldn't make a manicure out of. I have to give this polish a thumbs down.
