Alter Ego Chocolatier Swatches and Review 2

Inspired by smooth, creamy melted milk chocolate. A fine pearlized shimmer with just a hint of gold

Chocolatier was on of the top choices on my list when Cynthia from Alter Ego offered to let me choose a few bottles for helping out in her Egomaniacs facebook group and at Indie Expo Canada. It is a touch more copper than just milk chocolate with a pearl finish.

Alter Ego Chocolatier Swatches and Review 3

Shown with three coats although it looked pretty opaque with just two. The pearl-metallic finish did show some brush strokes as formulas like that often do but it was minimal and seemed to smooth the look with top coat. This one wears well. I have been meaning to take it off since Monday and it is still on my nails with only a little tip wear after a week.

It is an older polish and around since at least 2016. Cynthia rarely retires polishes from the Alter Ego core lineup unless she can’t get the ingredients. Obviously that excludes Makers Dozen polishes which are capped at 40 bottles and any boxes with rules sold through her own store.
