Hello!
For obvious reasons, I love it when stamping polishes make their way into the PPU offerings! This month Lantern & Wren has made up a beautiful one, which is very cool because she recently introduced her own line of stamping plates...
This month's Polish Pickup theme is Albums, and Carleigh was inspired by the Aladdin soundtrack album cover, particularly by the Genie on the cover. To celebrate it, she came up with Lantern & Wren's Illuminate, a light periwinkle with a splash of pink shimmer:

Coverage: This is meant to be a stamping polish, but should you want to wear it as a regular polish, it's a one-coat shimmer!
Formula: Again, meant to be a stamping polish, so this is a little thicker than a typical shimmer, but not to a degree that it's difficult or even unpleasant to use. It worked just fine for me. :)
Okay. So. We all know that pretty colors that show up well over black aren't exactly common or easy. But Illuminate shows beautifully over both white and black...AND, it keeps that gorgeous shimmer!! There are tons of stamping polishes out there with pretty shimmers that disappear once you stamp with them, but check out how beautifully that pink shines through. I am very impressed, and I really, really hope Carleigh comes out with more beauties like this.
(BTW, I stamped this using the roses pattern from Lantern & Wren's All Things Spring plate.)
