I was really anxious to finally try out these Formula X shades. I went right for Dark Matter (an opaque patent leather black) and was surprised that I only needed ONE COAT to achieve an opaque application. It was hard to resist adding some attitude with the white-speckled Xplosives Top Coat in Chaotic, which is also infused with fine multi-glitter.
