Matte Sparkley Hot Pink

I bought a Revlon Top Speed polish at Walgreens the other day.   It was solely because the color on the  little card beneath the name of the polish transitioned from hot pink to a burgundy.  Well I'm here to tell you... the little card was a stupid head.
No transitioning what-so-ever to be found in Lava.  Great hot pink color, but this color is my m.o. from days gone by.  It's so 10 years ago for me when I had all manner of variations of this very color in my nail polish collection and no other color of nail polish... NONE. 
So no offense, Lava.  But this was no great shakes for me... What to do.  It took me a while of paging through countless other blogs... to stumble across the mother of all un-pc nail polishes once again... Man Glaze.  And the color... wait for it.... Fatty's Got More Blood.  Sorry to say, but that matte crimson color is just gorg.  And it inspired me to haul out my Sally Hansen's Diamonds and Essie's Matte About You.
 Above is the final deal.  Lava, SV, Diamonds and then the Matte.
 oooooo, my magnolia tree is in full bloom so it's the backdrop here.  Above and below are without the matte.
And above is with the matte.  Usually in a 'matte' versus 'glossy' bout, I always go with the glossy.  But this time familiarity was breeding contempt big time.  I'm loving this color in a form I'm not already bored with... as a matte!  :)
