There was a fair bit of drama that followed the launch of NNSN and I won't be talking about that here. If you'd like to know more, you can read the Pretty Serious posts here, here, here, and here. Pretty Serious are actually running a competition to win NNSN and 2 other limited edition polishes! If you'd like to enter you can check that out here.
Anyway, let's get into the polish, shall we?
By the way, I actually swatched this a few weeks ago so you may have already seen me post it on Instagram.

NNSN is hard to describe but I will do my best... It's a purple/blue {blurple?} to red duochrome base with orange-green flakies. You can build it up to opacity on its own with 3 coats but I layered 2 coats over OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark. It was fairly easy to apply, a little bit thick, but not bad.
Sadly, I didn't love this polish. I really wanted to. And I loved it in the bottle, but not as much on the nail. I think I may have liked it a bit more if I'd worn it on its own, rather than over a base colour. It's a little too frosty looking in the sun for my taste, and I'm not a huge fan of duochromes anyway. I do like it a bit more in the photos but in person I just didn't love it. Since it was so sought after and hard to get, I decided it would be better to pass it onto someone who will love it rather than have it sit in my Helmer collecting dust. So I have already passed this onto a more loving home. I'm sure my NNSN will feel more loved over there in her new home. :)
I know that many people will {and do} love this polish, however so trust me when I say that it's not a "bad" polish by any means. Just not really my taste is all!
Were you lucky enough to get your hands on a bottle of NNSN? What do you think of it?
