Blush Lacquers Wonder Wheel

I've got another polish from The Road to Polish Con series for you today! Wonder Wheel was created by Victoria of Indiana-based indie polish maker Blush Lacquers for Polish Con April 2017 and released earlier this month from the Polish Con big cartel shop. This one is a bright, clean medium French sky blue bearing a veritable snow shower of flake shimmers twinkling within -- pink, gold and holographic. The pink flakes are especially sparkly and give the polish a transparent pink sheen, more or less prominent depending upon viewing circumstances.

Application was most agreeable! The consistency of Wonder Wheel is fluid, full-bodied and creamy with a medium viscosity and an easy, fluent glide over the nail that sets up fairly quickly but does leave enough of a window for a little finessing. Self-leveling properties are very good as is pigmentation. For most folks, two coats will net evenly opaque coverage. For those with conspicuous nail ridges, like me, three is better at hiding them. Cleanup is easy. Wonder Wheel dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, satiny finish. Topcoat adds a becoming gloss and accentuates the presence of the flake shimmers.

Photos show three coats of Wonder Wheel over treatment and basecoat with a topcoat of Seche Vite.

A fresh, invigorating sky blue, perfect for spring! The color is vibrant and fairly saturated but still does an excellent job of showcasing the pretty flake shimmers, which give the look a delicately flecked, twinkly visual texture. Nice!
