Alter Ego: As You Wish

Alter Ego is being featured in the Nails & Novels facebook group with a beautiful custom group polish!

As You Wish
Inspired by The Princess Bride book's cover art, this polish is packed with super micro blue, aqua and holo glitter suspended in a jelly-ish base. It can be used as a topper, or alone as shown here in three coats. It sparkles and sings and will surely make you feel like a princess while wearing it!

Bee's Knees 1/1 Release


Unicorn pee, flake, aurora, these polishes by Bee's Knees have it all! Choose a fave or get them all - they launch on 1/1/2019 at Bee's Knees online webshop. Not only is the bottle new, the logo is new and the brush inside is new. The brush is fantastic, as mentioned in my other review.

I love a nice clean looking aqua shade, and this one has a squishyness to it, don't ya think?

Native War Paints Audrey
a tri-thermal which shifts from purple to dark blue to light blue along with copper to green unicorn pee and copper shimmer. Because my nails are super short, I dunk them in ice water and quickly take the photo, thus, the third shade doesn't show well on my nails but I have seen the effect on those with much longer nails than mine. I wore 2 coats for photos, formula was good no issues to report.
Cap 250
