1850 Artisan Polish: Taupe-iary

I stumbled on a new to me brand that launched their first collection January 20th. 1850 Artisan Polish boasts a 5-free and vegan formula that's made in California.

Taupe-iary, just one of Nikki's launch polishes is a beautiful taupe shade filled with shimmers that give a sort of dusty or speckled appearance. I absolutely love that finish and have dreamed of a collection like this, I've just not ever seen another shade besides Misa Grey Matter - yet here it is!

Formula was fantastic, buttery smooth, non-streaky, it did not pull or clump. It does have the plastic/crayon-like odor that some polishes have, use caution if that bothers you. Two coats with her Fast Track topcoat, which is also fantastic! The topcoat does not have any noticeable odor other than what is expected. Shipping was super fast, arriving 2-3 days from the launch date and in cute packaging with a very sweet hand written note.

After wearing it for a bit, I stamped it with an MDU polish and Konad plate m57. A reinvention of a nail art look I did in 2011, but reversed.
