Black Cat Lacquer Chivalry is Dead

I am really pleased to say that today's polish is actually still showing its thermal properties.The last 2 Black Cats I used were stubbornly un-thermal and I thought this one might be the same.
Chivalry is Dead is a grey thermal with scattered holo, very pretty in its warm and cold phase although it was more than 24 hours before my hands had warmed up enough to see it shift off charcoal grey!
The scattered holo is lovely, just a shimmer in daylight but comes alive under bright lights, particularly the LED light I have at my desk. In its warmest phase this seems to be a mid grey, so I probably didn't need the coats of Leighton Denny Zero Gravity I put under it.
This is a very wearable polish, leaning slightly warm and with an almost a greenish tinge to it in its warm state, rather than a cool blue grey. I love grey anyway, so loving this in all its phases from mid grey right through to the dark charcoal shade, which it has been most of the day!
I used 2 coats, it applied well and dried nicely. Photos are taken with top coat.
I did get a bit of tip wear with this, maybe because I have 2 coats on over 2 coats of LD Zero Gravity, so when I finally got the warmer shots and captured the tiniest hint of thermal gradient the tips are looking a bit shabby - sorry!
I am so happy that this polish still "works", although if it stuck at dark grey holo, I could probably live with that!
Quite  lot of pictures as I kept trying to catch the sparkle!

  1. I am glad this was a thermal polish that works! I love the sparkle in the dark black as well. I'm adding this one to my to buy list, it seems to be great quality as well.
