This is 4 coats of She Likes my Spark – Ethereal Lacquer. Base coat: ORLY Base Bonder. Top Coat : ZOYA naked manicure: glossy seal.

My mother would have considered this as part of the “whore red” category of color I was forbidden to wear as a teen. Super happy to be embracing it now and the peace that is adulthood away from a controlling household. This formula was lovely and the perfect glowy sheer that is buildable. I really love Ethereal’s polish. I tried to show it in different lighting.

  1. Sending you lots of love as you remove the layers of shame that were unfairly piled upon you. That color looks great on you! It’s so shiny and reminds me of fairy tale books!

  2. Calm-Primary-3625 on

    Ooo I had a color like that as an adult and it definitely didn’t look good on my pale skin but I managed it on my piggies for summer.
    In HS I wore black or dark glittery blue (wasn’t easy to find punky alternative nail colors in the 80s). My mom always said it looked like I slammed my fingers in the door so I asked if she would rather I wore bright Hooker Red instead…and she said Yes. 🫤
    Didn’t expect that but probably why she said it.

  3. Gorgeous color and lovely nails! So good you can wear it as much as you want without asking for anyone permission, you queen! 👑
