I'm not sure why I've fallen into the habit of doing my nails at night now. The sun is so much more friendly to polish pictures. Anywho, this polish is gorgeous in even the worst lighting. ATU has a navy blue jelly base with green and blue hexagonal sequins and bright blue glitter. The base is pigmented enough for this to be worn alone (opaque at 3 coats on its own), but still allows the fabulous glitter and sequins to show through. LOVE! Without Zulu underneath, the navy blue base is much more obvious.
