For this one though she said she was inspired by Alexandrite (green to purple color-shifting stone) and then the polish morphed a bit. What she ended up with was a green to purple duochrome with a dark grey undertone.

The color combo reminded her of my inspiration photo, so she wanted to give it to me! I'm quite humbled by her generosity. I enjoyed working with her and getting to meet her at Polish Con.

What an interesting unique color that is.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it?
DeleteI'm told Alexandrite is my birth stone. I've never seen one IRL, but if she's anything like this beauty, I know I would love her.
ReplyDeleteYou'd love the stone! It's a shifty violet/green stone that often has a gray cast where the colors meld.
