Nothing To Disclose
I have some oldies coming up on the blog! This is colors by llarowe Garden of the Gods, from their Colorado On My Mind Spring 2015 collection. This collection was made up of jellies and back then, the polishes were only $6 a bottle.

Zoya Bari

Press Sample

I know this polish looks familiar, but it's SIMILAR, not the same. Does anyone remember that photo? It's a girl holding different teal/turquoise polishes? I'm chronically online. Someone should know who she is...

Ahem, back to the polish. This is Zoya Bari, which is listed as a warm rose-terracotta cream

2016 was a different time. The inaugural PolishCon happened and I bought all three of the Different dimension exclusive polishes.
