Too Fancy Lacquer Shrinking Violet

I will start by saying, I am 99% certain this is Shrinking Violet. I bought this polish with 2 other Too Fancy Lacquers, A Currant Affair and Prima Donna. The violet shade does not have a label but googling the other 2 names I kept coming up with the Viola Trio, with Shrinking Violet being the 3rd shade.
Shrinking Violet is a stunning shade, quite a lot brighter than I generally go for, and to be honest I thought I would like it least of the 3 so that's why I tried it first. I should say, it's not just about like- it's about how I actually like it on me, who could not like this pretty violet shade but as I painted it on I was wowed, I do like this and I love it on me!
It is quite a thick creamy polish, but it applied well. I used two coats and it dried nicely, pictures are taken with a top coat. This is a beautiful intense shade, that in some lights is blue, in others more purple. I actually have a periwinkle in my garden and this is a little bluer than the flower.
The holo in this is really pretty, I took my photos yesterday but sadly the sun is not shining today, so I just have the pretty purple shimmer with the faintest of holo sparkles. I have included some flash photos as they captured the purple better than the daylight pics
