Last night I posted this picture to my Facebook Page:
That is a list I've made of 32 different indie companies with polishes I own that remain "untried." I am going to, in the next 40 days, try all of these! I cut each of these into strips and put them in a box to draw them at random :) The first draw last night was The Polish Bar, and the polish is "Spring Reverie."
Direct Sunlight
Indoors
Spring Reverie is a lovely medium/powdery blue color with a subtle holographic effect. This polish was opaque in three thin coats and dried in under 5 minutes to a shiny finish, though I did add a topcoat in the photos above. I have to admit that at first, I wasn't too sold on this polish, and was sure I'd be adding it to my De-stash Board on Pinterest. It's not as vibrant in color and holographic effect as I usually like my polishes to be. But as I've seen it in different lighting, it's starting to grow on me :) I may just keep this one around!
Due to the oddly crappy weather we're having here in Phoenix, there will likely not be a new polish post from me tomorrow, unless I draw a brand that only has one Untried polish that I could quickly photograph tomorrow, when it is supposed to be nice and sunny again. I hope you all had a wonderful New Year's Eve, and are starting this 2015 with a lot of great resolutions! See you soon <3
I've got lots of untrieds too! I love this idea (sadly I have so many untrieds, I wouldn't make it through them even if I changed my mani everyday of the year). I've never heard of Polish Bar, but this is a gorgeous color. It's very delicate looking and looks lovely on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I recently went through my polish to try to de-stash a bit and realized I had a TON of untrieds. That needed to change :D
DeleteFirstly, Happy New year. Lovely shade, This shade of light blue / grey tone is not easily available. Holo effect makes it more unique.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you as well! And I agree, it is definitely unique!
DeleteThat's absolutely beautiful. I need to pick a month to do nothing but untrieds. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteI have soooo many untrieds that basically anything I wear would satisfy this challenge!
ReplyDeleteLol you should set one up for next month!!
DeleteI love this idea, and that blue is amazing. Happy New Year, and have fun with your project!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! Happy New Year to you as well!
DeleteHappy New Year. This is such a great idea! I wish I could do something similar, but I have reached the point where idk what's untried anymore lol
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Roselynn!! You must have a bunch of polish!! :D
DeleteHappy new year! I'm right there with you with an abundance of untrieds :(
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!! You should do an untried month, too! Or even just a week :D
DeleteI am going to try to make January my month of untrieds too. I have too many from holiday sales that I need to use!
ReplyDeleteDo it!! Most of the ones from this challenge actually aren't from holiday sales - I may have to do another one just for those lol
DeleteHappy New Year! I love the idea of randomly drawing a polish a to use from your untrieds! I actually really like this color, it has an understated elegance to it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sumeet! And Happy New Year to you as well!!
DeleteSuch a great idea to tame d growing list of untried. Loved the polish. I m a sucker fr holos
ReplyDeleteMe too, Setu - I think pretty much 80% of my polish is holo :D
DeleteLove this idea. I must say that I love your nails so perfect. The shade is pretty : Happy new year
