Serum No. 5: April Showers


Serum No. 5's April Showers has a beautiful off white shimmery base complimented by sprinklings of iridescent glitter. Its very easy to apply and goes great over dark colors or over white as I've worn it in the photos.

I had intended to post this review in April and missed it; however, we're getting our April showers in May this year! If you'd like your own bottle of April Showers, visit the Serum No. 5 shop. There were only 5 bottles left when I checked!

Nire's Desire: Yoga Trio


I tried yoga once and well, the polish is much more fun and pretty! :) The Yoga trio from Nire's Desire is a beautifully done shifting set in colors that everyone could love.

Pranayama's most prominent color is a very vibrant kelly green that shifts to golden green, a sort of an army green/brown and in some lights, a dark blue. It was really difficult to capture this one since it is a bit more subtle than the other two. Formula was smooth and opaque in two coats. It has a fine brushed metallic finish but with how this shifts it's not that noticeable in person.

I thought for sure that Namaste would be my favorite of the three just by the looks of it in the bottle. I'm a purple and blue junkie and this one feeds the need with its shifty ways! So mysteriously beautiful! I wore two easy coats for opacity and this one also has the brushed metallic finish with a strong shift.

Prana was saved for last because for me, it was a total surprise and I wanted to surprise you too! I can't recall the last time I reached for a red polish... It seems like at least a year, if not more. But this one. This red to purple shift has totally won me over. I'd reach for this a hundred times and still love it just as much if not more! Its super squishy looking, the shimmer gives it a depth that I don't think I've ever seen in a polish and the shift is, quite simply, amazing.
