Wildflower: Autumn

I ordered this from Wildflower Lacquer and thought I'd share some swatches.

In person, Autumn is a super dark vampy jelly polish with what I would call hidden shimmer. Under my usual lighting the shimmer is difficult to see, but with a flash bulb or bright sunlight you can see a little bit of shimmer. I wasn't able to see any holo rainbows in the polish. To me, the bottle I got is different than the photos in the fan group.
Two coats. Topcoat. Formula was ok. It seemed to either dry fast or was sticky and the color was darker than I expected, in most lighting it looks like black polish. There were a few bumps of something in the polish which are visible in photos, I'm not sure what that is.





If you like vampy, dark shades, then this one is for you! I don't think I will be purchasing again from the brand.

From the Vault: 2017 Winter Stamping

One of my resolutions for 2018 is to clear out the 'vault' better known as the backlog.

When I blog I prioritize press samples before anything else. What happens is that when I photograph a polish I've purchased and sometimes nailart, it tends to take a very long time before I can publish it. So there will definitely be older watermarks and possibly different hand poses, lighting, maybe even shot with my previous camera. The order of these types of posts is completely random and I won't set a schedule, so they'll be a surprise!

To accomplish this goal, these kinds of posts will be short and sweet without much detail. I'm happy to answer questions, just leave a comment!
I also will not be promoting these posts outside my own social media - please follow my blog or facebook page if you're interested in seeing these.
