This is a stunning purple (I know it's coming off blue in this photos, blame my cantankerous camera). It has a lovely subtle shimmer running through it and is opaque in two coats.
The brush, however, is pure, unadulterated, hell. Put it this way. This is like applying lacquer with a worn out toilet brush. It splatters everywhere and it smells funky. I persevered with it, and engaged in a cleanup of Ben Hur biblical proportions, but I would not recommend using the brush at all.
All up, sometimes bad brushes happen to awesomesauce lacquers. This is one of those times.
