Smitten Polish Fire Burn

Today I have the most super sparkly polish to show you. This is Fire Burn, from Smitten's Halloween Duo, the other being the deep smokey blue grey Cauldron Bubble and I bought the pair recently from Rainbow Connection.
Fire Burn, as its name suggests, is a fiery orange jelly polish, absolutely packed with holographic glitter. It is so unbelievably sparkly, in almost all levels of light.
As this is a jelly I did use 3 coats for full coverage, 2 was almost enough but I could just make out the nail line and decided to add a 3rd thin coat. The colour is just stunning, and this from a reformed orange hater! I think I may now be thoroughly converted.
Even where light levels are low and the sparkle not apparent the colour is so intense and the glitters give the polish a real depth. I think there may be golden/orange as well as holographic glitter as there is a golden glow from some angles and it is probably this combination that gives it the depth. The finish was quite rough after 1 coat of top coat, a second coat virtually smoothed it all out.
This looked awesome in the sunshine, but we were in the car so I couldn't get a decent picture. I did get a picture of it in the daylight though so you can see what its looks like. (We went to see the Hunger Games : Mockingjay Part 1, which is why I have a bird stamped on the ring finger)
