I have had this bottle of polish in my desk organizer for quite some time, and today is the day to show it off. Today, I have Jessica Starry Night from the Phenom Vivid Colour collection. This is a 3-step system that dries in natural light and has a chip-resistant, gel-like shine for up to 10 days but removes like polish. Starry Night is a peacock blue with tiny blue microshimmer.

Elevation Polish x Pahlish The Merchant's Son

Nothing To Disclose
This polish is a decade old and going to a new home, but I wanted to swatch it first. This is the Elevation Polish x Pahlish duo from the 2015 Cosmoprof North America convention. Back in the day, indies and bloggers would get together during the convention, which was really the precursor to PolishCon, The Indie Shop, Indie Expo Canada, and Polish & Beauty Expo. This was a thermal, green shimmer creme from turquoise (warm) to teal (cold). Mine has faded to a green version of the warm state.
