Twinsie Tuesday: Studio M Purple Medallion

Today's TT theme is kind of a shameful one for me: oldest untried. After I recently went through my stash to sort out my untrieds, I came to the realization that I have a lot of them, so I'm on a no-buy while I try to show my existing stash some love. I'm not sure which polish is my oldest untried, but Studio M Purple Medallion is definitely up there. I think I got this polish either sophomore or junior year of college...? Something like that. To put that in perspective, I graduated a little over a year ago. Yeah, I know, I'm really bad! :-/

If you're not familiar with Studio M, the brand is only sold at Meijer stores (a grocery chain in the midwest) and it's owned by the same company as brands like Color Club and Ruby Wing. While several Studio M polishes are Color Club re-bottles, Purple Medallion is unique to the Studio M line and, along with Slammin' Red, is one of two polishes the brand is probably most known for. Purple Medallion has a purple (duh) jelly base packed to the gills with silver holographic glitter. It's got a really intense sparkle to it, making it easy to see why this has become one of Studio M's signature polishes.

I used three coats here. The formula isn't awful but it isn't great either. It's on the runny side and drytime between coats is a bit longer than usual. If you live near a Meijer store or have a swap buddy who does, I recommend checking out Studio M. Purple Medallion is a core polish and the Studio M seasonal collections usually have some fun gems too.
