It's actually from an older collection, but I saw it swatched by Brianna @simplynails94 and I had to get myself a bottle! It covers nicely in two coats and the finish is divine!

I intend this site to be somewhere where you can check in and learn what's new in the worlds of biomedical research and nail polish. Somewhere where I can tell you about important strides researchers are making in understanding human disease, and pictures of my bomb-ass manicures. I hope you enjoy! So, first, I'll share my current mani. I've been hearing great things about Zoya polish, and decided to place an order for myself. Pictured is Zoya's "Beth" with an accent nail of "Brighton" Beth is a champagne polish, but in different lights looks purple-gray, with gold shimmer. Brighton is a gold holographic polish. When I saw swatches of Brighton online, I thought it would be just like any other gold glitter polish - I was wrong! It's opaque in two coats and with the holo flecks, it looks al...
