Nail Polish Swatch: DRK Nails - PuriFire [PPU August 2021 - The Elements]

DRK recommends using a water based topcoat to avoid dulling, I used Apipila smudge free and then quick dry topcoat. Reminiscent of Max Factor Fantasy Fire, it has a glow within quality. This polish did stain my nails.

Topic Tuesday: First Polish Pickup

My first polish pickup order was July 2020 and the theme for that was 'rewind' where previously released polishes for PPU were brought back for a final month.

These were a birthday gift, I got Danglefoot Buttons for Eyes and NeVerMind Slendy;

At the moment I am buying more from Rainbow Connection, some polishes from the Polish Pick Up section and then others from the standard shop. Another place I have been using more recently is Nail Artisan.
