The colours backstage were Smith & Cult nail polish in Sugarette (left) an opaque white smoke and Smith & Cult nail polish in 1972 (right) an opaque rose gold foil.
Other pearlescent nail polishes we love: OPI nail polish in Kyoto Pearl, Mavala Switzerland Arabesque Color Collection nail polish in Metallic Grey, SinfulColors Pearl nail polish in Tokyo Pearl
What do you think of this trend? Would you wear pearlescent nail polish?
