The colors in the polish go so well together, I can only imagine that the song plays the colors out just as well. <br /><br />I would love to see the blog that you do for you niece - if you get a chance, please feel free to post the link here so I can check it out!

When I did, the name of the polish totally made sense to me. I do a very amateur (having neither the nails nor the skills for more) private nail polish blog for my niece and in a post featuring King of Carat Flowers I'd tried to describe the polish with some visual imagery that occurred to me kind of spontaneously as I was applying it. After listening to the song and reading the lyrics, I saw that parts of my imagery really fell in with some of imagery in the song, there were aspects that had eerie similarities. It could be coincidence, but given Nikole's artisanal skill I'm more inclined to think it isn't. Also, a la Greg House (of House MD, have you ever seen that show?): I don't believe in coincidences. Mostly. *lol*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135968514878220352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859794687226193545.post-19727213128864192662013-05-31T01:04:06.467-07:002013-05-31T01:04:06.467-07:00Wow, thank you so much for the insightful comment!...Wow, thank you so much for the insightful comment! I really had no idea how involved the title of the polish could be. To be honest, I didn't really research the song too much, but now I will. Heck, I might need to pull this polish out again, your description of it has made me fall in love with it all over again. Thanks so much!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02320223068912647762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859794687226193545.post-22453110848212392252013-05-25T15:57:24.099-07:002013-05-25T15:57:24.099-07:00The song King of Carrot Flowers is about a love th...The song King of Carrot Flowers is about a love that begins in childhood and develops in the midst of dysfunctional and violent circumstances. My feeling is that King of Carat Flowers could be an interpretation of the beauty and escapism of such a love. The change of "carrot" to "carat," besides respecting copyright and avoiding over-obvious references to the song, reflects the inclusion of yellow and gold glitters in the polish. Carrot flowers grow wild are also known as Queen Anne's Lace, beautiful to the eye and to the mind as they do resemble lace and contain their own poetic references. But only Nikole can say what her inspiration was in creating this lovely polish.<br /><br />To me, this polish is understated, elegant and exquisitely romantic. The delicate combination of colors, the amounts and ratios to each other of the glitters are in my opinion part of Nikole's most striking hallmarks as a formulator. The beauty of King of Carat Flowers is at once ornate and organic, provocative and delicate. It reminds me of Oceans of Alloys in this way. I love them both, but Oceans of Alloys is probably my favorite of the Hare polishes that I've tried.<br /><br />And I agree, King of Carat Flowers does look gorgeous on you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135968514878220352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859794687226193545.post-49532318674098064492012-11-19T23:56:46.985-08:002012-11-19T23:56:46.985-08:00Actually, this looks gorgeous on you!
