HARE Polish


A month or two ago I purchased a couple of beauties from HARE Polish on Etsy. It was a pre-order arrangement that went surprisingly fast considering Nikole, the mastermind behind HARE Polish, sold 100-150 bottles of 12 available shades. Impressive, I know.


L to R: why so igneous? and the sky was pink


the sky was pink
The Sky Was Pink. Can I just say how glad I am I took a chance and purchased a color outside of my comfort zone? I love the periwinkle hexes, blue squares, and (pink?) microglitter. Application was relatively easy and 2-3 coats were used to reach this level of opacity. I'm not sure why, but there is a noticeable amount of blue glitter stuck at the bottom/lower side of my bottle. I'm not sure if the blue glitter is just heavy, and/or while in transit the bottle was stuck in a certain position and the glitter just congregated in that spot (storing the polish upside down can usually help to "fix" this). It is not a problem, it is just something I noticed. 

why so igneous? over wet n wild black creme
Why So Igneous? This is one coat of Why So Igneous? over one coat of Wet n Wild Black Creme. There is red-based purple glitter and emerald green glitter, both in square and hex shape, in a sheer (but buildable) smoky purple base. Personally, I prefer to layer this color because 2-3 coats doesn't provide preferred opacity to wear alone. The color choices, both base and glitter, are very reminiscent of Barney.

Overall, I really like these colors and ease of application. My favorite of the two is definitely The Sky Was Pink, I think it is the dark horse of the collection. 

HARE polish can be purchased on Llarowe and Etsy. Availability varies, so check out HARE polish on Facebook for restock updates.
