One of the more interesting things when cleaning out my nail polish is realizing 1: how many indies I have acquired in the past several years and 2: how many polishes I have that are AMAZING. Tonight I was cleaning out a box that's been sitting by my desk for over a year (sad, I know) when I realized I had this great Glisten & Glow beauty sitting here.
Today's polish is Shimmer Me Timbers from the Pirate's Booty collection. It's a teal linear holographic polish that has this beautiful purple shimmer which makes it great for low light or sunlight. I can't believe this has just sat here next to me for more than a year!
I started with a base of Glisten & Glow base coat and then used 2 coats of polish. This is a highly opaque polish so I may have been able to get away with one but I always prefer two thin coats. I finished it off with Glisten & Glow top coat (which YAY I finished up a bottle today!).
So when I first painted a nail wheel with this polish, I was all for it. It leans more green than blue but I'm funky, I can handle it. So I did a full manicure and fully intend on wearing it to work.
However, after both hands were done, I looked down and I don't really feel like "me". I know it's because I've been wearing lots of red lately (no real reason) or just have had bare nails. I really haven't had anything crazy on my hands since I started my marketing job 2 and a half years ago. That being said, I LOVE this polish! I think it reminds me to BE me - the girl who can wear any color. I've done it with my hair and I've done it with lipstick... I can do this with nails.
