Polish!!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hi everyone!! I am so excited for what I'm going to show you today! Recently, I had one of those rare occasions where I was selected to swatch nail polish! It's a trio of multichrome polishes by <b>P.O.P. Polish </b>and it's this month's offering from <b>Multichrome Madness</b>. If you don't know what that is, it's a Facebook group that is devoted exclusively to all things multichrome and each month there is a guest polish maker that creates lovely custom multichrome polishes for the group. I myself have purchased some real beauties but this is the first time I get to show them off in time for you to get it yourself! Be prepared for a picture heavy post!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
P.O.P. Polish is an indie brand run by Bianca and thus far, although I've lusted after the polishes from afar, I haven't actually made a purchase yet so it has been a double treat to not only swatch for her but to try out the brand for the first time as well! As I mentioned before, this month there are 3 custom polishes and they are each in vibrant jewel tone colors. Bianca calls her multichrome polishes oil slicks (and names them accordingly) because of the multiple array of colors you can see with each one, just like an oil slick! Each of these have primary, secondary and tertiary shifts that I'll describe below. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first polish is called <b>Slick & Flirty</b>. The primary color on this one is dark fuchsia (oh I love my fuchsia!). In the shade or indoors, the secondary shift can be seen of bronze and gold. Finally, at just the right angle (or in the car), the tertiary colors of blue, green and black can be seen. I really had no trouble getting all the colors to show in real like. It maaay have been a little harder to show them in pictures but I gave it a good effort. </div>

The second one I will show you is <b>Enchanted Slick</b>. The primary color on this is a gemstone green. It moves into aqua and purple shades in the shade and at just the right angle you can also see mauve, gold and a stunning lime green!<br />

I love those last two pictures! The last one is called <b>Red, White & Slick</b>. Bianca named it that way because it looked very much like the blue on the American flag. The primary color is that bright royal blue, secondary colors are purple and bronze and the tertiary colors are mauve, green and gold. </div>

I applied two really easy coats for each of these and topped them off with P.O.P Polish Liquid Glass topcoat. It is my one of the few times I've branched away from my Seche Vite or Sally Hansen Intsa-Dri and I was very pleased. I wore each of these for about five days and only had mild tip wear by the end. The longer I kept them on my nails, the more I found myself loving them! If you would also like to get your hands on them, they are being sold right now through the P.O.P. Polish Etsy store till the end of the month of May but you have to be a member of Multichrome Madness to be able to purchase them. The polishes are $12 each or $33 for the trio and if you'd like to buy either the Liquid Glass topcoat or her new Radioactive Topcoat (glows under blacklight), it's an additional $5 each with the purchase of the trio.<br />
<br />
Happy polishing and see you next time!<br />

Hello everyone! A quick post for you guys today. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The best thing about the Polish Pickup each month is that you get to try out new indie brands without having to worry about crazy fast restocks and shipping costs. I have a number of new brands that I've been able to get to know this way and today's is one of them. This is Contrary Polish Feel The Spark from the May 2017 PPU. The theme was science. I've mentioned I love fuschia shades once or twice before. This definitely falls into that category and I love the touch of holo and shimmer this polish has. </div>

I am loving each month's Polish Pickup so much! This current month is themed the 90's and it's going on right now. So many great polishes available! To be informed of the polishes available each month and to be made aware of when the preorder window is each month, join the Polish Pickup facebook group. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi guys! Welcome back! I am typing out this post on my phone right now, while on vacation to attend a family members wedding. For this trip, I finally forayed into the world of pigment powders and gel manicures and I must say it’s working out well! But more on that another time. Today, I’m going to show you another one from one of my favorite indie brands, Tonic! Lindsey Buck, maker of the polishes, herself forayed into magnetics sometime last year and of course, as is her style, made it something completely unique. </div>

This is Becoming, one of the Tonic magnetic multichromes. This was part of the 2017 holiday duo along with another non magnetic polish called Superstar. This one is described as having a dark blue base with magnetic green to purple shifting multichrome pigment and iridescent orange-red flakes that shift to green. I thought this was a very shifty polish and I had no trouble seeing all the colors come out in different lighting. To that end, I have a ton of pictures below to show you guys all those shifts.<br />

The pictures above show the polish in a variety of different lighting including outdoor cloudy, indoor office lighting and the last one was in direct sunlight. I also had no trouble getting the magnetic part to work. One thing I realized is that I paint my non dominant hand first and then paint my dominant hand. I also take pictures of my non dominant hand for my blog. Which could mean that when I'm holding the magnet to get the line on my dominant hand, that could be spreading the particles on the hand that's holding the magnet. I should try to do the opposite order next time and see if that gets me a sharper line. If you guys are following what Tonic does, you would already know that they just released a whole bunch of magnetic polishes with unicorn pee pigment, double multichrome and holographic pigment as well. Aaannd, of course I picked them up! I'm going to have a lot of polishes to practice with in the upcoming months. Until then, thanks for visiting!</div>

Hi everyone! Apparently I've been wearing a lot of Polished for Days polishes lately because here is another one that I wore a few weeks back. This is another one of the polishes I purchased from the January 2018 Polish Pickup. The theme that month had been Crystals & Gemstones.<br />

This polish is described as a light grey base with orange to green flakes, orange to green micro shimmer flakes, scattered bright aqua flakes and holographic flakes. Jenna had obviously used a grey opal as her inspiration.<span style="color: #353535; font-family: "open sans" , "tahoma" , "arial";"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span></div>

This is one of those polishes that is really amazing in pictures, in the bottle and on a lot of other people. Just looking at these pictures I'm marveling at the complexity and beauty of the polish. I just didn't like it on me. It was the added coolness of the silver holographic flakes maybe but it seemed to fall a little flat to my eyes. Thankfully, I was able to destash it pretty quickly to someone who is sure to love it much more than I! I certainly do love the PFD formula though. This polish lasted several days on my nails with minimal tip wear and the only reason I changed it because I felt like a color change. I have many more Polished for Days colors to try out that I can already tell I'm going to love!<br />
<br />
Again, thanks for looking and see you next time!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi folks! How is everyone doing? Having moved to the Pacific Northwest, for the first time since I moved to the US, I get to experience much milder winters than I used to in the Midwest. I am seeing pictures of my friends and family battling ice and snow storms right now and I feel so bad for them, and so happy for me! A couple of months ago, I also got a chance to go to New Mexico for a couple of days and did some hiking there. I knew I had to bring something flashy like <b>Polished For Days Rudolph</b> with me to capitalize on aallll that sunshine!</div>

Rudolph was one of the holiday polishes from 2017, one of the Reindeer Games collection. I think I ended up getting most of the polishes from that collection and they are all so beautiful. Rudolph is a multichrome polish loaded with holo flakes that you can see in the shade picture down a couple of pictures below. It's officially described as having a glowing bright red base with a copper-green-red shifting shimmer and holographic flakes. In the rest of pictures below, I am trying to show you the shift in the colors of the shimmer as I angles my nails in the sun. </div>

Although the hike itself was amazing as we went through the Canyon de Chelly National Monument, there were plenty of moments where you would have found me marveling at my nails and taking pictures of them instead of looking around like everyone else was!<br />

Hey all!! When I was preparing my last post, I realized that I had completely neglected to post another Great Lakes Lacquer mani that I had worn some weeks back. This is called Spring at Prospect Park and it was one of the four polishes created for Polish Con NYC 2017. I was smart enough to grab all of them when I could and I couldn't be happier with them. This is the first of them that I've tried so far.<br />

This is a sky blue crelly polish with multicolored multichrome colorshifting flakies. It was very easy to apply and became opaque in two coats. It wore really well and I loved how bright and happy this color was.<br />

Hey everyone! I’m back today with another Polish Pickup Polish that I picked up in January of this year. That month the theme was Crystals and Gemstones and there were so many polishes that hit right out of the park! One of them that really caught my eye was this one, <b>Great Lakes Lacquer Glass On Fire.</b> </div>

First of all, I love Mariah’s brand and all of her creations. I first ran across her polishes when I found her Polishing Poetic collection and I’ve been a big fan ever since. Also, she is based out of Michigan and that’s where I grew up so that connection thrills me as well.<br />

<br />
This polish is flat out amazing. I love fuschia toned polishes and this is that and so much more. It had a multichrome base that almost feels jelly like and suspended within it are color shifting flakies. In the rest of my pictures, I tried to show you all the different shifts I could capture. Of course, as with any such polishes, the pictures only give a nod to how amazing the polish looked in real life. I received so many compliments on the days that I wore this one.<br />

I do have to apologize for the small paper cut at my cuticle. I got it right before the pictures but the polish was too beautiful for me not to take pictures! Hope you guys enjoyed this post and I'll see you guys next time!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi folks! How is everyone!! I had a blast this past weekend. I was away at a bachelorette weekend for a cousin. It was a solo trip for me and although I missed my family quite a bit, it was really nice to have a couple of days to just relax and have fun with a bunch of cool women.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The polish I want to show you today was part of a limited edition collaboration with Femme Fatale last year. Each maker did two polishes and this is one of Tonic's contributions. It's called <b>Promise of Spring.</b> It's a beautiful bright pale green multichrome that shifts to a metallic greenish yellow on one end and a cool blue color on the other with a holographic finish. It looks amazing in pictures guys but I didn't like it much on my nails on its own. Maybe it's that it just didn't suit my skin tone very well but it looked kind of harsh to me. Needless to say, it's one of the polishes I made an effort to destash because someone out there wanted it more and would wear it better. </div>

In the pictures above, you can see the blue at the edges of the nail. In an effort to make it more pleasing to me, I took that color and stamped with an open swirly pattern. I did like this quite a bit more. I love brocaded patterns like these. </div>

I really do love the way this looks. I will have to remember that stamping does help improve my outlook on polishes that I don't like by themselves. Hope you guys enjoyed the post. Until next time!!</div>

Hello guys! I'm excited to share a new indie polish maker on the blog today! Well, she's not new in the indie world but she is new to me. She is a smaller brand with once a week smaller restocks. Her colors are amazing though. I am especially in love with her shimmers and this is one of the best! This color was so popular that she had revived it five times before putting an end to it. I nabbed a second bottle at the last iteration because it is just fantastic.</div>

I will show it to you here with the disclaimer that I should have probably applied three coats instead of the two you see here. The opacity is the best at three coats. The slight sheerness of the polish does lend itself beautifully to showing off all that amazing shimmer. </div>

Hi guys!!<br />
I don't know how many of you are aware of a box called For The Love Of Polish but I have been getting it for a few months now and it is<b> awesome</b>!! There are two regular makers and the third is always a guest. Polished for Days has been a regular maker for a while and the other one used to be Illyrian Polish but she just handed over the reins to Pahlish. I have always been seriously impressed with the polishes and I am super excited every month to see what they come up with.<br />
<br />
The polish I am going to show you today is by Polished For Days called Glacier and it's from the FTLOP box from January 2018.<br />

I've realized I'm not a huge fan of pale holographic polishes as previously seen <a href="http://nailaday.blogspot.com/2018/01/color-club-date-with-destiny.html">in this post</a>. I was apprehensive getting this polish in the box but I ended up loving it!<br />

Glacier is described as an icy blue linear holographic polish with micro holographic flakes and copper to red to green shifting shimmer. Perhaps it's the blue base color or perhaps it's the shifting shimmer but I thought this really worked for me. I loved wearing this in all lights but especially in sunlight.<br />

I could post so many more pictures of this but I'm going to stop here. That's it for now! Check out For the Love of Polish on Facebook. They sell the beginning of each month and it's a preorder for a few days. I have many more beautiful polishes coming up in the future so thanks for looking and see you again, I hope!</div>

Hello all! Today I have another Polished by KPT polish again for you. The last one was a while ago <a href="http://nailaday.blogspot.com/2013/11/polished-by-kpt-nostalgia.html">here</a>. It was the sister polish to the one I am showing you today, Ophelia's Love.</div>

This is also a deep purple based thermal that in the warm state is very pale. The shimmers in here are of a much larger size and pink in color. They have a slight shift to green at an angle that is hard to capture on the photos. The first three are in the cold state and I will show the transition down at the bottom. </div>

Hello everybody!</div>

Although the polish I am going to show you was from a while ago, let me tell you about the weekend I just had. I went to visit my brother in New Mexico for a couple of days and oh my goodness, that part of the country is gorgeous! The mesas, the canyons, the views! We went on a couple of hikes and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I will have a post later with the pictures I took because, of course, I have some nail pics from my hikes as well! The polish I wore that day was perfect.</div>

Okay! Today's polish is quite a beauty too! This is Emily de Molly External Links. This is a bright bright blue jelly with iridescent glitters of different sizes. This was one of those polishes that was really hard to photograph well and show the uniqueness of it. A.k.a., pictures don't do this justice. You certainly can see how bright the blue is though. What you can't really see is the myriad colors coming from the glitters.</div>

Down below I have indoor pictures, up above are outdoor pictures from a cloudy day. You can see the jelly base in the last picture. It is more sheer in pictures than in real life. I think I stopped at two coats but I could have worn a third. Unfortunately, as with many jelly polishes for me, it did chip in 3 or 4 days. It was close enough to when I would change polish anyway that it didn't matter much but I do remember thinking I wish it lasted just a day or two longer.<br />

Hello everyone!<br />
<br />
Another Tonic Polish for you today. This one was a limited edition and it was I think offered exclusively through Color4Nails as part of an NYC duo. It's not your average red. It's has a touch of holo and a touch of duochrome taking it from a almost fushia to hints of orange at the edges. Hopefully the pictures below can show you all the variations!<br />

<br />
Hello everyone!!<br />
<br />
It’s another new to the blog indie brand today, <b>Vapid Lacquer</b>. This brand has some very interesting polishes once in a while and has such a staunch following that it seems really hard to get the ones that everyone seems to be nuts about. That being said, I have managed to nab a few unique polishes from them, including the much loved Cyber Punk in an auction. Today though, I’m going to show you the polish called <b>Not All There Myself</b>.<br />
<br />

I am a big fan of the fuschia range of pink but I tend not to buy them as much because it seems like there are only so many ways to make that color look different. It’s a nice color but how amazing can you really make it? Well, Vapid’s Not All There Myself has to be one of the best fuschia colors out there! The formula is fantastic. It’s rich. It glows and it even has a very different feel to it in different lights. It’s an amazing, amazing polish. The finish is a foil type finish which is what gives it those properties I mentioned above.<br />
The pictures above were all taken in sunlight. Below I'm showing the polish in shade and in indoor lighting.<br />

I definitely have to keep an eye out for more polishes from Vapid in the future. Seems to be a really good brand with unique polishes. This particular one lasted 5-6 days with minimal chipping. That's when I usually change up the color so it lasted well for me.<br />
Thanks for reading and until next time! </div>

Hi everyone!<br />
Back to the indies we go! This one is a new to me brand and I just bought the collection of polishes a few weeks ago so this is really really current! Today, I am going to show you guys <b>Anchor & Heart</b> <b>You Are My Home</b>. It's from the Through The Stones Collection. I think it's based on The Outlander series. All the polishes are really beautiful multichrome polishes.<br />

The above pictures were taken above during a cloudy afternoon. This polish has a green base and shifts from turquoise to blue to purple. The purple was not seen as much unless I viewed my nails at an extreme angle. The polish also had holographic microglitter that gave it a bit of a bumpy appearance but with topcoat, it was very smooth to the touch. The pictures below were taken with strong indoor lighting.<br />

Hello hello! I'm back with another polish for you and this time it's a mainstream! I'm sure it's still available in various places online. This is <b>Color Club Date With Destiny</b>. It's a holographic polish but the holographic-ness of it is not as strong as a lot of the indie holos I've seen lately. It's still a delicately pretty polish with a light lavender base. I thought it would be a perfect canvas for a little stamping, which I had the time for and hadn't done in a long time. The image is from the Bundle Monster plate BM 310. The polish used to stamp was China Glaze Harmony, which is from the Romantique collection. All of them make good stamping polishes.</div>

The thing I love about the indie polish world is how much more you can get to know the maker of each brand, how interactions with them through emails, Facebook groups and other social media can elevate it from a cold business transaction to something a little more special. Of course, that means you sometimes find something out about a maker that rubs you the wrong way, goes against your beliefs or outright offends you but that comes part and parcel with human interaction, right? I'm happy to say that Leah Anne from Colors by Llarowe has shown herself to be a wonderful, genuinely nice and generous person. I had started buying her polish long before I really knew what she was like but I'm so happy to know that I have at least half a Helmer drawer full of beautiful polishes that are made by a beautiful person. The polish I'll be showing you today is one of them, called<b> Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.</b></div>

That is an incredibly appropriate name for this polish because it seriously twinkles like the night sky. I think this polish is considered a close dupe to the original Essie Starry Starry Night. I don't have that polish so I can't compare but I know there are comparison posts on other blogs and they do look practically identical.<br />

The base of the polish is a dark blue jelly with silver glitter suspended in it. It's very simple, no holo, no color shifting, but still magical. In keeping with the starry night theme, I stamped an accent with silber polish and a star image from the Bundle Monster plate BM-310. I absolutely loved this look!</div>

Purple is one of my two favorite colors. That and teal. A vibrant purple or a mysterious teal really make me happy. When I first started collecting nail polish, I really had a disproportionate amount of purple until I started making a conscious effort to branch out. I like other colors and I didn't want to get in a rut. That being said, I think my collection is still disproportionately variations of purple and teal.<br />
<br />
Today's polish is a beautiful purple holo by Emily de Molly called Crestfallen. This is an opaque polish that is a very vibrant shade of purple and a prominent holographic finish. It also has small red microglitter/shimmer that give it a very warm flash, which I loved.<br />

Hi everyone! Another post this month? I am on fire!! I love love the polish I am going to show you today. This is from Femme Fatale called<b> Pyramids on Mars.</b> It is a deep purple jelly polish with iridescent flakies and small red microglitter. It is complex and a chameleon. It looks so different in different lights. The best light to show it off in was cloudy outdoor light (which we have plenty of in the Pacific Northwest). Look at those amazing flakies!! This was an old color which Sophie brought back for a limited time either last year or two years ago. I was lucky enough to get it the first time around and got a back up when she brought it back. </div>

I have mentioned once or twice how I really love my indie brands (hah!) and Femme Fatale is really there at the top with a few others (ahem, Tonic). Sophie and team have so so soooo many polishes out there and although I have a decently large collection, I have only a fraction of what's available. I gave up my desire to have a full Femme Fatale collection long ago since I have not really even scratched the surface of my own collection. I was really happy with this polish, if you couldn't tell, and I'm looking forward to trying many many more!<br />
<br />
Until next time!!</div>

Hi folks! I've recently realized that I've been so into my indie nail polishes that I have not worn a mainstream polish in a long long time. Those poor bottles have been sitting sad and lonely in their storage without any love being sent their way. I should make an effort...someday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, today's polish is yet another indie polish, Glam Polish Case Full of Magical Creatures. This is from the Magical Creatures collection. They were inspired by the creatures from the "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them" movie. I have not seen that movie myself but it's definitely on my list. </div>

It is a plum colored polish with holo and iridescent glitter and color shifting metallic flakes in it. It took me about three coats to get opaque but because of the jelly quality of the base, there was some shrinkage from the tip of the nail. It was not a big deal at all in real life. Since my move, I haven't been able to set up my small light tent yet so I'm showing you pictures I took in various lighting. Indoor, in the car and in late afternoon sunlight below.<br />

<br />
I really enjoyed wearing this one and I'm excited to try the others I have from this collection. Glam Polish always has amazing polish, I think, as evidenced by how many of them I have. They are based in Australia and they have fast and reasonable shipping. Right now, the owner is on a bit of a hiatus but it looks like they still have stock and the website is open for business.<br />

Hi guys! Today's post is going to be a short one. I didn't get the best pictures of this one so I only have one picture to show you. This is <b>MDJ Creations Da Vinci</b>. I bought this several months ago along with a few others but this is the one that drove me to make the purchase at all. Also, I can't believe I'm saying this, but, this is currently available!! I feel like I'm always posting about nail polish that is super old or limited edition but this is in the Etsy shop now, people. So, if you want it, you can get it!<br />

It's described as a teal base with flakies and holo glitter. I'm not sure if you can see the holo glitter well but the flakies were mesmerizing. They are chrome flakies with a multitude of colors in their shift. I think I have two coats here, which may be why it looks a little lighter than the website swatch photo. It has a partner polish called Michelangelo which is flakies in a creamy lighter colored base. I did get that one as well and I'm looking forward to wearing it. I'm happy I ventured to buy from this maker. If I had the budget, I would be buying more. She looks like she has some very interesting polishes in her Etsy store. </div>

Hello all! How is everyone? I see that I'm getting a couple of views here and there so there must still be people reading my posts...fancy that! So, for the five of you out there who will read this one, here is a polish from another new to the blog indie maker, Illyrian Polish. </div>

I have been in love with Illyrian polishes for a while now and even though I have a sizeable collection at this point, this is the first time I'm wearing and blogging about them. Today's polish is a base for the manicure you see above and below and it's called <b>Dream Hopper</b>. It's a multichrome polish that shifts green to purple with a murky dark base that gives it a near black look. In real life, it looks like a dark purple brown color with a mysterious shift in the colors at different angles. I wore it alone for a day before the urge to layer it with something came. The base is versatile and I could have layered it with many things but I chose another untried polish, <b>Indigo Bananas Bonanza</b>. The green to blue to purple shifting flakes were set off wonderfully over Dream Hopper. </div>

Here it is, all by itself. You can see how it has that purple brown base with the multichrome pigment that goes from green to purple. I thought this would be the polish I liked the least out of my collection and I liked it quite a lot anyway so hopefully I really love the other polishes in my collection. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hello everyone!<br />
<br />
I’m back with another indie polish that I’m loving. I have not posted about their brand before. I first noticed them when I started buying the For The Love Of Polish box from their website. Then I started browsing the other polishes offered and really loved a bunch of them. The brand is <b>Polished For Days</b> and the polish is <b>Anemone</b>.<br />
<br />

This is from the June 2017 FTLOP box. According to the description on the original swatch post by DeLicious Nails, this polish is made up of a purple holographic base with bronze and rose gold flakes, sterling silver flakes, holo flakes, and green/gold/blue chrome flakes. Now that I know all of that is in there, I can pick them out. Otherwise, it looks like a lovely sparkly holographic chrome flake polish in a pale lavender color. As with all these polishes, it comes alive in directed light, especially sunlight. In the shade, it’s still lovely but sedate.<br />

I’ll post a few more pictures in different lighting. What I also discovered with this polish is that the formula for this was amazing. I applied two coats with no difficulty at all. It dries smooth and even. Soon after I applied the polish but before the topcoat, I had to suddenly take care of removing and washing my son’s sheets due to a vomiting incident and I was convinced I would have to redo my nails. I only ended up having to fix the tips of a couple of them. It dried so fast and held on really well.<br />

I really hope indie polish never goes away. I don't think it will. I can't believe the breadth of creativity of all these makers with their polish creations. Now with these curated and themed boxes, special Facebook group offerings, special limited editions like the Polish Pickup monthly polishses, I keep finding new brands and finishes and it's nuts! I wish I could own them all!</div>

Whoosh! And just like that, we're almost at the end of the year. A lot has happened since then, including a big cross country move to the Pacific Northwest. That put an end to my buying nail polish for a while but did manage to keep my nails painted some of the time. I haven't been taking any pictures though until just recently.<br />
<br />
Today, I want to show you what I wore for my birthday yesterday. Except for this polish, it was nothing special. I do like to make sure I have something awesome on my nails for my birthday though and this one fit the bill! This is<b> Tonic Polish Mermaid Scales.</b> This was a limited edition Color 4 Nails exclusive that came as part of a duo with Greenglow earlier this year. As with any Tonic Polish, it is spectacular! Two wonderfully easy coats, full coverage and so so sparkly and shifty!! For some professional looking photos, check out Cosmetic Sanctuary. Mine have been taken inside and outside my house with an iPhone. But still, looks so good!<br />

Had to come out of hiatus for this beautiful polish. I do have several pictures in the vault of other beautiful polishes I managed to take pictures of over the last few months and maybe I'll manage to post about them too! Later, everyone!</div>
