disappointing and not as pictured [SEP] whispered lore is polished bronze it is a nice enough bronze color if that is what you are after but it is really not what is 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 is an all over color that is it really definitely not the multiple colors showing at once that the one single product photo shows so clearly in the bottle heck it does not 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 isokbut disappointing
