Elevation Polish 2AM Walks With Farrihn Swatch And Review

Hooray for the weekend! If you're in the northeast, you're probably having a three day weekend. I hope you all are safe and warm! My parents are worried about their flight back to PA on Monday and we're hoping the flight will go smoothly with no delays.   It's hard to tell at this point! Travel this weekend is going to be a b*tch.

I love grey polish and I love it more when it's a grey polish with glittah!  When I saw Elevation released 2AM Walks With Farrihn I knew it had to be mine. This is a dark purple leaning grey colored crelly base loaded with hex glitters in purple, fuchsia squares, and green circles.  I used three coats here found that the slightly thick polish was a somewhathard to control, in that it didn't want to flow easily and coat the edges of my nail bed, especially toward the cuticles.  The glitters however posed no hindrance whatsoever during application.  I finished this with a layer of Gelous followed with topcoat.

Lulu's inspiration for this was a flower that she saw while taking a late night walk in NYC with her friend.  I think this polish summarizes that moment precisely, and I can see in my mind the shadowed colorful bloom.  I love when an artist can visually portray a moment like that to her viewer, and Lulu has done it time and time again with her creations.   Each bottle is a work of art, and the story behind it makes it that much more special.  Do you think of the stories behind the polish when you use it?

  1. This is so pretty on you! I've been eyeing (sp?) this polish for a while and haven't quite felt the NEED IT urge just yet, especially if it's a 3-coater. I do love grey though, so it may come home to me soon... :)

    1. Don't let the three coats deter you! I might have been able to get away with two not so thin coats, but I went with three for the camera. One on, the glitters in the dark base are glorious. I love how the bright colors twinkle within the dark mani!

  2. This polish is so pretty! It's really unique too. I love the glitters in the dark base. I only have one Elevation Polish, Marmolada, but I haven't worn it yet. I'll have to check this one out too.

    1. I love Marmolada! For some reason I keep thinking I've swatched it but I haven't.... It's one of my favorites. I need to see it again!
