African Violet

African Violet is a medium-dark, rosy plum with larger gold sparkle. The texture isn't as smooth as other shades, as you can feel the sparkle loosen from the base color. It had a tendency to sheer out on the skin, so I'd recommend using this with a lightly tacky base for best results. The color wore for seven hours with some fall out during wear.
