Painted Polish is an indie company that I've purchased from a few times at PolishCon and I always say "I'm going to buy more" but when I saw Catching The Canal on the Polish Pick Up Flashback, I finally pulled the trigger and made my first Polish Pick Up purchase. Apparently this was the April 2019 "Famous Works Of Art" contribution from Painted Polish and was inspired by Claude Monte's impressionist painting "Le Grand Canal." This is a beautiful periwinkle crelly base with a rainbow of color-shifting flakies.
I started with Morgan Taylor ReactMAX Optical Brightener, 3 coats of polish and finished with Glisten & Glow top coat. The first coat is super streaky but by coat 3, I was a happy camper.
I'm pretty split on this polish. On the one hand, I don't think I own anything like this and it is really pretty up close. However, on just my hand, in my normal desk light, I'm like "meh". I have to be in sunlight for me to go all squirrel and happy again. It's going back into my Helmer for now but I'm still on the fence.
