Ferguson Crest Syrah from Wet n Wild's recent Fergie collection is a polish with different personalities. In the bottle this glass fleck burgundy polish has a distinctly warm golden duochrome shift:
However when I wore it the gold was not as visible and the polish looked a lot more sombre and understated and rather more of a plum than a burgundy. Was I disappointed? Perhaps a little because the duochrome did not translate to the nail, but on the other hand the colour that resulted was beautiful in its own right. Two coats of polish created a deep, classy plum nail with a subtle burgundy fleck which comes to life in strong light. This polish was durable too and stayed chip free for the working week. To sum up - this polish is unexpectedly understated but still a stunner.
