Today I have a swatch of Peebles from the Pretty and Polished Mathematical collection. I thought about doing another Valentines Day mani, but decided that I wanted something brighter than red. Even though this polish feels very summery to me, I am glad I chose to wear it now and take advantage of the (relatively) warm weather this week.

This picture was taken in late afternoon sunlight, and is a bit too golden to be exactly color accurate, but it shows the glitter well. The polish is a bright, juicy jelly pink base with pink and gold hex glitter and pink micro glitter. I wore it with three coats, but next time I will try to find an opaque base color because I still had some visible nail line after three coats. Thankfully the glitter distracts me from the nail lines, which normally drive me crazy. The base is quite thin for a glitter polish, so the glitter sinks very quickly. I was able to get a decent amount of glitter after turning the bottle over for a few minutes, but I should have turned it over again after every few fingers and between layers. The polish drips right off the brush, so there is also some danger of cuticle flooding. Despite these fairly minor issues, the end result is gorgeous! I never thought I would like such a bright pink color on me, but this one is exciting enough to sell the idea.

Also, here is a bonus picture of my cat getting in the way of picture taking. This photo is actually closer to the true color of the polish, too!
