disappointing, and not as pictured
"Whispered Lore" is polished bronze. It's a nice enough bronze color, if that's what you're after, but it's really not what's pictured in the listing. In certain lighting, at certain angles, it takes on a slightly more sage-green tinge, and in rarer instances it looks slightly more warm-rosy-golden, but in both cases it's an all-over color. That's it, really. Definitely not the multiple-colors-showing-at-once that the one single product photo shows so clearly, in the bottle. Heck, it doesn't even look that striking in the actual bottle here in my hand. The polish itself is clear with ultra-fine shimmer particles that are too dense and dark to make a good topper and too sparse/thin to achieve solid opacity with two coats. It also wears off the nail edges within hours and gouges very easily, even with two coats of this polish topped with a clear coat. It's...ok...but disappointing.
