Polished for Days Grey Opal

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.

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. 

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!

Again, thanks for looking and see you next time!

Great Lakes Lacquer Glass On Fire (Polish Pickup January 2018)

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, Great Lakes Lacquer Glass On Fire. 

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.

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.

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!
