She's got it

Perhaps one of my weirdest posts ever, photographical wise. A mysterious polish that won't show its true self no matter the light - she needs to be thoroughly and completely presented. Helen from Just Nice Things and Scrangie made me take this shade out of the untrieds drawer, as they had a long and vivid discussion over twitter about the superiority of its color. How could I not try? Well, this is what I ended up with - just imagine it a little better in reality. Because of all the different looks, I will enclose pretty much exact lighting conditions. This is Venus Was Her Name by Jessica.

Not sure here... But this photo was taken with my Canon DSLR, as were all last three photos.

Anyway. Three coats of this very different shade, constituted of a grainy charcoal grey base with magenta or purple shimmer. How cool is that? I'm not expecting to induce any lemmings here, as many before me have taken much better shots of this lady, but hey, of course I'm showing you anyway, just because I can.
