Countess is part of the Barrym Royal glitter textures, Autumn/winter 2013 collection and i have to say its my fave colour so far out of the 5 available, its hard to explain the colour? most would say Purple? but id personally say its a a deep Aubergine with flecks of Gold glitters, a lot of bloggers are saying the texture is that of the OPI liquid sand, but i do have a few of those and this texture to me is more like Jesses Girl Gundrops.
As with all textured polish it goes on SO well, honestly textured polish is my fave to apply, it take me no time to paint my nails and with no clean up it dries super fast to a rough feel, now of course you can topcoat it if you don't like that rough feel on your nails, which i generally don't.....but i also think to top coat it, changes the way it looks.....so i do feel its best to keep it as it is and try to deal with the feel of it....
