The Lady Varnishes Pt. 1

ETSY is seriously bursting with amazing freelance nail polishes. I don't remember what I was searching when I came across The Lady Varnishes on ETSY. What I found intriguing about her polishes, and the reason why I continued perusing her stuff, is that she themes her polishes off of shows, movies, and literature. What especially caught my eye was the fact that she had a collection solely dedicated to my favorite childhood movie "Labyrinth." I still have a Ludo doll in my bedroom and one of the door knockers! She also has options to add scent to your nail polish. Seriously! You can leave out the scent, but I opted to have some in there. It's fun, although it does appear odd, to sit at your desk and sniff your nails. Lastly, each polish had a cute little charm adorned with swarovski crystals, that match the polish. It's a cute little touch that I love. 

Recently she released some polishes that spoke to me, so I purchsed a few of them. 

From the Edward Scissor Hands Inspired line "I'm Not Finished."

I chose to scent this polish with jasmine. The polish itself is a little more of a dark pinky-purple than I had anticipated, but really, it's pretty either way. It is a jelly polish that has copper shimmer glitter and shredded pink glitter in it. My art instructor actually commented on my nails during class. I find this polish to give your hands a more delicate look, which I like for my small hands.
