Wheel Q14: Pale Pink Shimmers

Today on Nail Wheel Wednesday I have pink shimmer polishes. Some are so light they might be considered white, and one in particular fooled me in the bottle into thinking it was lighter than it turned out to be on the nail ... that's what I get for not swatching on paper first, but I do want to finish this wheel project before I have to destash to move into assisted living someday so I go right to the wheel now. Some of these are very subtle shimmers indeed, but if I can see shimmer in the bottle, it goes on a shimmer wheel.

    At least for me, your pictures are missing... Just in case you didn't know.

      MK, I did have an issue with my images for a bit, so it was definitely not just you. I appreciate you mentioning it in case I wasn't aware.

    These are such beautiful shimmers! It's nice to see the variation in shades from the almost white to the very dark pink there! :)

    Hope you are having a good week :)

    That's a shame about Pink Raindrops. It was such a gorgeous polish when it released. I remember how much I wanted that one, but it released right when our Sephora stopped carrying Illamasqua polish so it wasn't available near me.

      Cindi, it is a bummer for sure. I don't know if it's the polish formula or what. It has been exposed to some higher temps so maybe that's the problem.

Thank you for reading and commenting! I greatly appreciate knowing I'm not just talking to myself here. :) I'm moderating most comments now due to the spate of spammers who claim to be looking for sexy times.
