Elevation Polish Thousands of Pink Blooms

Thousands of Pink Blooms was released in February this year by Minnesota-based indie polish maker Elevation Polish as part of the Love from Japan collection, a series of five polishes inspired by Japanese gardens and parks. Officially described as a "medium saturated pink, medium to low density holographic," This color is a medium-dark, creamy, magenta-leaning pink with aspects of rose and red-violet. It's kind of like a mixture of red-violet, Pantone pink and telemagenta, and can lean towards any one of the three depending upon the light in which it is viewed. Holographic pigment gives the polish a delicately speckled look with luminous, on-tone dimensional shading and a very fine rosy sparkle in ambient light that develops into an understated prismatic display in the sun.

Application was great! The consistency of Thousands of Pink Blooms is fluid, dense and creamy with a medium viscosity and a plush, full-bodied, self-leveling glide over the nail that went on best for me in medium to generous coats from a well-loaded brush. Pigmentation is very good. A bit of patchiness on the first coat builds easily to evenly opaque coverage with the second. Cleanup is easy. Thousands of Pink Blooms dries naturally in good time to a smooth, shiny finish.

This polish reminds me of redbud blossoms, the darker, rosy-purpley ones, which have been blooming around here like mad for the past couple of weeks. I adore this color! It's a beautiful, rich shade with all the spirited, feminine qualities of red-violet that I love, and is especially complementary with lavenders, purples, blues and indigos. 

love,
