Picture Polish Heaven

Like Cactus, Heaven was released in March this year by Australian boutique polish maker Picture Polish as part of the Spring Autumn 2018 collection. It is also a Collaboration shade, created with CeasarShop.fi/Nail Polish Heaven, a Finnish online polish vendor.

Described as a soft lavender jelly bearing PP's signature mix of holographic flakes, the color is indeed a light, creamy lavender similar to the ISCC-NBS Dictionary of Color Names' lavender shade known as pale lavender or pale lilac, but it's definitely a cooler rather than a warmer shade. Abundant holographic flakes read as silver within the base, giving the polish a gently stippled appearance and veiling the look with pasteled prismatic sparks in the sun, most notably in pink, azure and pale gold.

Application was a pleasure. The consistency of Heaven is fluid, light and silky with a medium viscosity and a fluent, easy slip over the nail that self-levels beautifully. Pigmentation is sheerish on the first coat but builds to a wearable opacity with the second if using medium coats. Cleanup is easy. Heaven dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, shiny finish.

I really like this polish. It's a perfect Goldilocks kind of lavender shade -- it has a slightly more robust and full-bodied presence than a pastel, but daintier and milkier than a floral lavender. The silvery holographic flecks give the look a delicate, graceful air on the nail. If you love lavender, you should have this!

love,
