Kunimitsu Nail Potions Red Empress Swatch And Review


Hello lovelies!  Have you ever heard of #ooiaj?  It's the acronym of Overnight Oatmeal In A Jar, one of my favorite breakfast standbys.  I'm not a huge fan of oatmeal, but when I discovered ooiaj I was hooked.  I love the ease and quickness this takes to prepare - all you do is throw some oatmeal, greek yogurt, and your choice of milk into a glass jar and let it sit in the fridge overnight.  Voila, you've got a filling and healthy breakfast for the next day that's portable and easy to eat.  I love adding extras to mine, like berries, nuts, peanut butter, honey, chia seeds, cocoa powder, bananas, and granola.  The combinations are endless!  What's your favorite breakfast on the go?

Today's polish is brought to you by Kunimitsu Nail Potions, and it's named after a fish called the Red Empress.  It's a purple fish with red scales, which inspired this light purple polish with red and rose gold multisized glitters.  It has a beautiful purple shimmer that glows just like the fish too!  I was mesmerized by the bottle and equally mesmerized once it was upon my nails.  The hidden shimmer comes out to play when light hits it at the right angle.  I used two easy coats here, and I had no trouble with clumping or pooling, and the polish had a fluid consistency that leaned perfectly on the thick side. I finished with a layer of topcoat for extra smoothness and shine.

Look at that shimmer!  I adore the duo tone shades of glitter too, and the total effect comes together as an grown up, sophisticated version of glitter polish.  Unlike a glitter bomb, I can wear this to work and feel like I'm dressing my age, which these days aren't as young as I use to be!   Kunimitsu has several polishes over at her Etsy shop that are equally as fabulous and enchanting as Red Empress.  I dare say you check them out!
