I applied Midnight on the Midway on Friday evening. It is now Saturday evening, and it has already chipped. However, I did not use a top coat. The color is beautiful (a shimmery plum), but, like the above viewer said, it is streaky/ridged on the nails. I applied two coats to get the color that is seen in the bottle. This is the first BPTP claw polish that I've tried (I also have Blood Countess and Lady Macbeth). I hope that those polishes are stronger. I do think this is a lovely, shimmery plum, though!

In the imp: Chocolate (not a creamy, milk chocolate, though), cedar, and pistachio Wet: Cedar and pistachio? The chocolate was hardly there at all as soon as I applied it. Dry: It seemed to become more masculine as time went by! Cedar and oakmoss were the prominent notes...no mint or chocolate to be found. Verdict: This was too masculine for me. I was hoping for more chocolate out of this one, so I won't be purchasing a full bottle. Retest, after the imp has aged for five years: In the imp: Chocolate (more of a thin, dark chocolate on an after-dinner mint), mint, and cedar, with a bit of pistachio. Wet: Light chocolate and soft mint, with a bit of vanilla and cedar. The scent is really, really light on me. After a bit, the cedar begins to gain strength, and I can also smell some of the pistachio and oakmoss. Dry: This remains a rather light scent, but it mainly smells like a chocolate, mint, and vanilla-tinged cedar and oakmoss scent on me now. When the imp was fresh, I mostly just got the cedar and green notes, and the sweet notes disappeared pretty much instantly. The scent is a lot different now. I'd say it's Tombstone's whimsical cousin. Verdict: Aging has done wonders for this one. I didn't really care for it back in 2013, but now I really enjoy it! I just wish it were a little stronger. I'm either going to start collecting imps of this to age, or get a bottle to start aging.
