Today I have Marilla's Amethyst Brooch. Now the name of the polish gives two things away. 1)It was a brooch that belonged to Marilla, the lady who along with her brother adopted Anne. It was a favourite of hers. 2) The colour of the polish is Amethyst. Well if you really want to get specific Literary Lacquers describes it as Amethyst shimmer with a pink to orange color-shifting flash. I only needed 2 coats for full opacity but you may need 3 depending on how thick or thin your coats are. While getting the orange shimmer to show may be a bit trickier the pink is very evident. This polish kind of reminds me of Essence Color & Go Oh My Glitter. This polish is like Oh My Glitter's complex, mature sister. Overall this is a colour I really like. It's glowy, fun, not afraid to show it, and at the same time is not obnoxious.
And just so you know he last 2 photos are with my chunk of raw amethyst. And yes, the amethyst has googly eyes. Because what 16 year old doesn't want a rock with googly eyes for her birthday! I think it makes the rock even more beautiful.
Anyways if you would like Marilla's Amethyst Brooch go over to Literary Lacquers etsy page. The full size bottle retail for $10.61 Canadian.
First 2 photos natural light, last 4 light box.

ReplyDeleteLove it! You do have the most beautiful natural nails. any tips on how to achieve and maintain them?
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I do very little apart from Vaseline after showers, and I try and stay healthy in general. Every now and then I use cuticle oil or butter if I feel my nails need a bit worn.
