The Lady Varnishes Turkish D'Lightspeed!

(Press samples ahead!)

Hello!


Today I have a sneak peek for you of The Lady Varnishes' contribution to next month's Polish Pickup theme...


The theme for February is Sugar Rush--I'm firmly in favor of anything that has sugar--and the TLV contribution is called Turkish D'Lightspeed (that name seriously cracks me up), based on the candy called Turkish delight, a jelly-ish candy (sometimes with nuts) covered in confectioner's sugar:

The Lady Varnishes Turkish D'Lightspeed is a soft pink shimmer with microglittery bits that give it a peachy-coral shimmer, with hints of soft mint that peek out of the shimmer here and there:

The Lady Varnishes Turkish D'Lightspeed is a gorgeous confection of pale pink with peachy-coral shimmer, with little hints of pale mint that peep through in the shimmer:

I'm wearing two coats in these pictures, and the formula is wonderful.


I only just tried my first Turkish delight about a year ago after wondering about it for most of my life thanks to C.S. Lewis, and I think the choices she made here are perfect for representing the candy. To me, it feels like a coating of sparkly sugar with bits of the inner jelly peeking out, like someone has started brushing away the sugar.


I also think this is a perfect polish for the upcoming Valentine's season. It has a soft, romantic feel with a hint of sparkle that's still grown-up and sophisticated.


You can only buy this polish if you're a member of the Polish Pickup Pack, so check out the group here to get your hands on this and other gorgeous polishes each month. And, you can find a ton of other gorgeous beauties in The Lady Varnishes' store all year round. :)


Hope your week is off to a great start!
