Let me start this post off by saying that I don't like this polish hahaha I never quite got the flaky trend, but thought Luxe and Lush, the polish corresponding with District 1 in the China Glaze Capitol Colours collection would be awesome. Not so much for me. It was goopy and stubborn and just...not good. I layered it over
Smoke and Ashes as a test...then after working with it, I just threw in the towel of trying it over other bases...

To me, that's a clunky, chunky mess. I can only imagine the top coat it would take to tame it hahahah Don't get me wrong. The flashes are beautiful...but it's just too much of a mess for me to think about using often.
**DISCLAIMER** I was not paid for this review by anyone. I either purchased these polishes myself or were given gifts as friends because I could not find the particular shade I wanted myself. I am not a professional nail tech, nor do I want to be. I'm just someone who enjoys polishing my own nails :)
