Tropical

MAC Tropical Nail Lacquer ($18.00 for 0.34 fl. oz.) is described as a "super glitter bronze." It has a chocolate brown-tinted base with copper and bronze small/medium glitter suspended in it. I wasn't able to think of any dupes for this one, and the only shade that I considered was China Glaze Ick-a-bod-y, which is larger orange glitter in a black base. I didn't have the same luck with this shade as I did with Scorching Haute, as this one wasn't opaque in two coats, and the glitter did not spread evenly. It tended to stick wherever the brush first was applied, but if you pulled the brush across the nail, most of the glitter stayed at the other end. I had to push it forward for more even glitter coverage. I applied one thin coat with two thicker coats on top on my middle finger, and I was able to get more opaque color but the result is on the thicker side.  The consistency was on the watery side.
