Dark and Difficult Times

Good morning polish friends!!! I hope everyone is having a good week so far.

Today I have a new to me indie brand called Polish TBH. I have been eyeing Chrissy's polishes on Instagram for a while. And as you all may have noticed, I love Harry Potter. So any Harry Potter themed polish jumps out to me. This one was just so pretty and so different, I had to nab it.

Isn't this beautiful? Plus the name and description of the polish sent me right over the edge. This is from her listing description: This is a darkened blue gray with a mix of holo black and charcoal glitters as well as red and green color shifting flakies. Reminiscent of the gloomy skies seen through out the Harry Potter series. The name comes from a favorite quote from Albums Dumbledore "Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy."

That quote is one of my favorites from the Harry Potter series. So many good life lessons in those wonderful stories. But, this is a polish blog not a "OMG I love all things HARRY POTTER!!!" blog. :) 

This color pulled gray in some light, blue in others. I had a really hard time capturing it, so I am posting it in a few different lights to try and capture the beauty. And macros to show those beautiful glitters and flakies!!! 

The formula on this polish was great, the glitter flowed well and distributed all on its own; no placement necessary. It was a bit sheer for my personal taste, but sometimes that's the price you have to pay for this amount of squishiness. 

Shown is 3 coats with 1 coat of Glossy Glam. I loved wearing this one and just couldn't stop staring at my nails. There's lots of depth and variety in there, that's my favorite thing about indie polish!!!

Polish TBH can be purchased through their Store Envy store here

Just Ricarda's Glossy Glam can be purchased through their Etsy store here

What do you all think? I love this one. 

I have a Halloween mani to show you tomorrow, can't wait! :) 

Happy Wednesday!
