Top Shelf Lacquer - I'm Only Happy When It Rains (June Polish Pickup Exclusive)

Hi everyone!

It's been a while again but when I come back, I always come back with a doozy!  Today is PPU day and I have Top Shelf Lacquer's exclusive for the month based on the theme of weather.  Amy, the brand owner, took a little liberty (which I love when it happens) and based this month's colour on the 90s song 'I'm Only Happy When It Rains' by Garbage.  This is a picture heavy post, so I'll get to it.

This polish is described as having a cool minty base, with a pink and blue shimmer, illusion flakes, and glass fleck.  I absolutely love the base colour for this polish.  Depending on lighting and skin tone, it can lean more green or blue.  I would describe it as the same kind of colour you would see in a glacier lake.  The flakes and shimmer and fleck (glass fleck is my hands down favourite finish) just add so much dimension.

I used three really thin coats for full coverage of my nails.  It has a creme-jelly base, so my recommendation is to allow each coat to slightly dry before adding the next coat to prevent any dragging. Amy has really perfected her formula for this type of polish and it quite literally stayed exactly where I put it before spreading over the nail. For me, it dried slightly demi-matte so I added a glossy quick dry top coat to make the shimmer, flakes, and fleck just pop.

'I'm Only Happy When It Rains' will be available from Polish Pickup starting today, June 7th and run until Monday, June 10th. It is not capped and will cost $13USD.
