Picture Polish Paradise

Along with some other fellow bloggers we have recently having thought more often of those beautiful (and sometimes sadly forgotten) gems that live in our drawers as we excitedly jump on new acquaintances and recklessly neglecting older favorites. I try to give at least once a week - be it a post or a NOTD some "nail-time" again. But this is not what I actually will show you.

It is about those new untrieds, that either went into your basket to get free shipping or you were convinced you cannot live without them for another week and just have to have it or them. Now sadly, also too many of these still modestly row up in my drawers and more often than not remain forgotten over new "must-haves". So I will also try to regularly post - and let's get one thing straight out of the way: none of them would have deserved the negligence!!

So today I have Picture Polish Paradise for you - another gorgeous Picture Polish shade from their Collaboration series. I save you from any description and let the pictures do the talking. It is all of it and more:










I applied two effortless, wonderful coats of Picture Polish Paradise over Essence XXL Nail Thickener and finished it with Essence Better Than Gel Nails Top Sealer. The first coat went on sheer, but don't get fooled, the second coat will give perfect opacity if not applied too thinly.

Are you also facing those untrieds that you were longing for and then somehow they ended up in your drawer unused to date?

I buy my Picture Polish shades from Harlow & Co, Llarowe and Pshiiit Boutique.

I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!

    This is really unique and lovely. It reminds me of a peacock. :) My last post is a review of this same blogger's new line...I really like her stuff. But I KNOW you're not buying too many polishes, right?? :P

      Hi Melissa, you are so right, it really got a intricate complexity like peacock feathers!!! I have to head over to your Blog tonight and ogle the photos. And of course I NEVER buy too many polishes - EVER :-D

    That is beautiful! I bought a bottle of this a few months ago and I still haven't had the chance to try it.

    Wow, this is really pretty! So unique. Yes, I have the same experience with struggling between using new and exciting polishes while trying to still wear the ones I love.

      Haha - so glad you like it sis <3!!!!! ah the foily Christmas part? But then in the sun, it looks more like (as Melissa pointed out) feathers of a Peacock or some tropical beauty!!! Super versatile, I tell ya ;-). And yes, hunting the caves is really fun - I know, in mine there are still some pretties lurking ;-)
