P.O.P. Polilsh: Carnival Glass

The inspiration photo for this Red Nail Polish Preferred facebook group custom was that of Red Carnival Glass.

So naturally, Bianca named the polish Carnival Glass.
It’s a dark red jelly, with blue, green, orange, and pink flakies that themselves shift 3 colors each. Holo shards and a smattering of iridescent pigment mingle in the squishy jelly base.
Two coats shown with Liquid Glass topcoat. No issues to report, application was good.

Bianca also sent me her famous Liquid Glass Quick Dry Top Coat which I have used in my swatches for this and some of my next posts. It is super fast drying and glossy. No sheet marks after having only let it dry about 15 minutes before sleeping with it on.

The custom polish will release September 25th at the P.O.P. polish Etsy shop, Liquid Glass is available right now. :)

“One dose, and the time works to the second. But more than five doses breaks the delay barrier, and the formula works instantly. Child... starts to shrink. The child... starts to... grow fur. Starts... growing a tail! All this happens in precisely twenty-five seconds! Shrinking more... child is no longer a child. Child… is a MOUSE!” -The Grand High Witch, Roald Dahl’s “The Witches”

Child is a MOUSE!
a murky teal jelly that features copper/red/gold/green shifting iridescent flakes, pink/red/green shifting iridescent flakes, and holographic silver flakies.

Super dark teal after building in two coats. I didn't try it, but if worn over a nude or maybe even white, you could have two or three different looks with this one polish! Two coats shown with topcoat.

Such Tacky Little Hats
a holographic, bright teal crelly that is accented with a strong, pink/green shifting Aurora shimmer and pink/green ultra chameleon chrome flakes.

Like a rainbow in a mirror, very reflective and holo! The flakes are like the icing on the cake for this polish, it couldn't get any better than this! Two coats shown with topcoat.

Jadis, also known as The White Witch, is the main antagonist in C.S. Lewis’ “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe”. She has brought a never ending snow to the lands of Narnia, making it always winter and never Christmas during the Hundred Years Winter. She is descended of Adam’s first wife, Lilith, and the giants. Jadis lives for over 1,000 years and amplifies her powers by eating the Fruit of Everlasting Life

Fruit of Everlasting Life
a silver-tinted jelly that can be worn as a topper or alone in several coats. She is filled with various types of color-shifting iridescent flakes that flash pink, purple, orange, and blue, holographic silver flakes, and blue/purple Aurora shimmer.

Three coats for opacity and SO SO worth it! I am excited to wear this over so many other colors!

September Year of Tarot
Don’t be alarmed! If you draw the card of Death, it is not always as you think; on the contrary, it can be one of the most fruitful and positive cards in the deck! Death is symbolic of the ending of a major phase in your life that may bring about the beginning of something far more valuable and important. You must close one door in order to open another. It may be difficult to let go of the past, but you will soon see how important it is so that you can bring renewal and transformation into your life.

Death
a blue-based multichrome that also shifts to green and purple. She is filled with silver holo micro shreds, holographic violet micro glitter, and scattered holographic pigment.

Shifty little wench, extra photos cause she's worth it. Two coats shown with topcoat.
