Rainbow Honey Nail Lacquer in The Kraken

Since trying out several of the Rainbow Honey nail polishes I picked up in December, I've decided that I pretty much need every single shade they come out with, especially the glitters, which I think they do phenomenally. This particular shade, The Kraken, is also from their Sakura Matsuri collection, which was meant to "invoke the feelings and emotions of this spring celebration." It doesn't remind me of spring at all (it might be celebratory, though, if you were celebrating pure awesomeness), but it's one of the more complex glitters I've seen in a while, but the shades work together so harmoniously that I can only describe it as positively magical.

The Kraken is a teal blue jelly base with gold iridescent hexagonal glitter, and teal, green, and gold iridescent round glitter and micro-glitter. It has a slightly thicker consistency that is common with glitter polishes, but it doesn't hinder the application. It goes on smoothly and evenly, without any pulling, bubbling, or streaking. The jelly base is semi-opaque but it is so glitter-packed that it will reach opacity in two coats, though you could easily use one coat of it as a layering polish (in the photo above, I've layered it on top of Rainbow Honey's Emerald Weapon). I can't think of any dupes for this. I would say this is my favourite polish that I've tried by Rainbow Honey so far, and judging by the amount of compliments I got on this whilst wearing it and the amount of people asking me what it was and where I got it, I would say this is the most... attention-grabbing (I like to think "awe-inspiring"). Not quite like the Kraken, if you ask me, but I reckon this is what the the Kraken would see underwater if he was on acid and like, got attacked by a mermaid.
