I am seriously kicking myself for letting this shade sit on my polish shelf for SO. LONG. This beautiful periwinkle-purple from Painted Polish was an exclusive shade made for Polish Con September 2017, held at the Navy Pier in Chicago. Mer-maid It to the Pier has a light purple or periwinkle creme base, tiny white… Continue reading Painted Polish “Mer-maid It to the Pier”

"As the World Falls Down" is a sparkly stunner from a Femme Fatale collection inspired by the 1986 film "Labyrinth".
