I ended up having to mix in some of my pearl mica and yellow oxides to make it half decent, otherwise I wouldv'e thrown it in the garbage. Reminded me of the color of cat urine the way it was. It now looks more like a creamy yellow, which is nice, but I still regret buying this nail polish.

I have an orange t-shirt but the colour's fading and it no longer looks as good - that's the big drawback to such saturated colours. I love it on nails, as an accent piece like a bag, belt, hair accessory, or sandal, but I think I'm done wearing it as a main clothing item... for the moment, anyway ;)
