Honestly, most of what I've...Aw, thanks Marisa! Honestly, most of what I've posted about Elizabeth and Mary has come straight from Wikipedia, I just picked out the parts that seemed to have the most bearing on interpreting the polishes. But I appreciate the compliment and I'm glad these things are interesting to you, too!<br /><br />I think this may be one of those polishes where it either strikes you or it doesn't. It may have passed us by! I'm going to let it rest for a while and give it another go in the future and see how it strikes me then. I've done that with a number of polishes that surprised me the second go round.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135968514878220352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026431379907947468.post-52411049027769019462014-12-20T17:43:25.611-05:002014-12-20T17:43:25.611-05:00I've been wondering if you might review this!!...I've been wondering if you might review this!! When mine came in the mail, I thought of two people: my auntie, and you. It is so gorgeous on you- and "soft undertones in early dawn colors like pale rose and lilac"? Ahh, the poetry; I'm going to have to dig this out. :)<br /><br />I didn't end up posting this because I, too, had disappointing application issues! You said it; this polish applies beautifully, velvety smooth and opaque, and yet it was almost like it was setting more quickly than I was painting, but then was a little slow to dry completely, as some metallic finishes can be? Regardless, my surface ended up all dinged up and wonky, and I was too busy and tired to retry in November :/ My thought is that this polish does demand some unique degree of finesse.<br /><br />Also, I've been really loving your little historical clips with all of the Elizabeth & Mary polishes. I used to read sooo many novels about the Tudors (before I went to college, and when I had eyeball energy for recreational reading), but you've been appraising me of all kinds of new facts!! Truly fabulous work, as ever.Marisa Sprinklepuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174436310379261208noreply@blogger.com
