Sugar Plum Fairies - Smalto viola shimmer - 12 Dam Days of Polish Advent 2023

The holographic microflakes really catch the light in a way photos don't do justice—it's like a tiny galaxy on my nails. Applied smoothly in two coats and the green shimmer pops every time I move my hand. Wore it for a week with just a top coat and only had minor tip wear.

The purple shifts to a stunning green-aqua in sunlight, and the holographic microflakes make it look like crushed gems on my nails. Lasted four days with a good topcoat before any chipping.

I’ve worn this three times already and the purple base is so rich on its own, but the green and aqua shift really makes it pop in sunlight. Those holographic microflakes are a nice touch too, gives it a subtle sparkle that doesn’t feel overdone. Wish I’d grabbed a backup bottle.
