Here's Chick Polish Baby Cakes and Essie Stroke of Brilliance.
It's a yellow that hints at green, but truly is yellow. It can range from egg yolk to pale yellow, depending on the light.
Three coats are necessary, but it does finish out pretty well.
Found this on the Llarowe site during one of her sales, back when she was selling multiple indie brands. Ah, the day!
I went to Chick polish website, but it's gone. I think they are out of business. The indie game is a tough one, and unless you sell holos out your kazoo, it's hard to build a following.
Sadly, and I'm guilty of this too, when I think of a creme I think of a major brand. When I think of innovation with glitter or shimmer or holo, I go straight to indie. Shame on me.
This is a nice yellow. Shucks.
Stroke of Brilliance, by Essie is from their LuxEffects line. It's a pretty blue, soft and yet metallic. I find, though that I have a little bit of glitter bleed, so I'm a little frustrated with that. I love glitters, but glitter bleed sucks the joy out of having them around! I have a whole Ikea Helmer full of glitter. Seriously fearing this trend.
Meanwhile, if this was a matte glitter, in this soft water blue, I'd be very pleased. It's not bad though.
Essie Stroke of Brilliance is available online, which is nice.
Thanks for reading my little nail polish journal!
