Paint it Pretty Polish Firey Aries Swatches (Polish Pickup Jan 2020)
You know how at the beginning of the year, your brain is still stuck in the year before when writing the date? I am 18 years back with 2002 instead of 2020 (or 2019). Anyway, Polish Pickup starts on Friday and Sherri has an amazing option with Paint it Pretty Polish Firey Aries. It is a […]

Paint it Pretty Polish Keep Calm, It’s Almost Done Swatches
Keep Calm, It’s Almost Done by Paint it Pretty Polish is a red/bronze/gold multichrome with red/gold/green aurora shimmer.
