Alter Ego Rust Bucket Owner

**I received this product complimentary for testing and review purposes from Alter Ego Nail Enamel**

I am super excited about this polish because it is my first ever Alter Ego polish.  I did give a couple away last year but I didn't get to keep any.  lol I received this polish straight from the maker, Cynthia.  She has relaunched HER STORE ON ETSY and reformulated all of her polishes with a new, lighter base and I'm here to tell you how it is.
All the Alter Ego's are named for occupations or actions so I got Rust Bucket Owner.  It is a rust colored orange/red (which didn't come out correctly) with brown, black, and scattered holographic glitter.  When I first opened it, I was so excited because it is so pretty.  I really wish I could capture the color correctly so you can see how dead on the color is to actual rust.
I had to go outside to get a better color and I almost nailed it...lol.  Nailed it!  Anyway, see the brick wall in the background?  See how close in color the polish is?  Yeah.  It's awesome!  (:

So the formula was amazing by the way.  I don't even know what I thought it was gonna be, but it wasn't this.  It turned out to be the easiest jelly polish that I've ever used.  I applied 3 coats for full opacity.  Oh but wait, as if that amazingness weren't enough, it dries semi-matte!  Yep!  My only suggestion for this polish is to wait until each coat dries completely or else you will need extra, extra dry time.  I didn't wait hardly any time between each coat and though I had absolutely no dragging or bald spots (thumbs up for Cynthia!), it did take a little while to dry.  Jellies are squishy and this one is definitely that.

Thank you so much to Cynthia for gifting this polish to me.  I really, really love it and I can't wait to try more polish from you.  If any of you, my dear readers, would like to get any Alter Ego polish to add to your ever-growing stash, just visit HER ETSY STORE and purchase any of her amazing full size bottles for just $8.50. Have a wonderful evening and rest up for the upcoming week.  See yaaaaaa!!!
