When I first got this jen & berries You're Living In A Vacuum in my secret swap, I wasn't sure what to make of it.

Sweet Heart Polish Summer Nights in Seoul

Nothing To Disclose
Last month, I participated in two "Secret Santa" type swaps. The first one was called "Destashing Through The Snow" from the Facebook Group "PUT THE POLISH DOWN." This is a fun group where polishoholics can talk about new releases, share swatches, talk about how long we've gone since purchases and more. The only rule was to send at least one polish to your partner. Sarah was my partner and she really send me some amazing new brands that I hadn't tried before.micro-shimmer
