Let's check out  Anchor & Heart Lacquer's  offering, a lovely thermal! *sent by the maker for photography and review* Anchor & Heart Lacquer Can I Have the Secret Formula?  is a seafoam green (warm) to steel teal (dark) thermal with gold flakes, shimmer, and shred glitter, as well as red microglitter, and teal holo microglitter. I wore it in three thin coats, but two will do. It dries matte with a slight amount of texture but is shown here with one coat of top coat. Nice formula with a quick dry time and easy removal. Note that thermals have a normal life expectancy of 6 to 12 months, so be sure you like a polish in both shades if you expect to use it longer than that. This ...

I wore it in three thin coats for maximum glitter, but two will do. There is no problem getting plenty of glitter out. It needs a layer or two of top coat for smoothness because of the glitter. Price: $11 No cap on purchases I love how bright this polish is and how it channels the fun of Seuss' illustrations perfectly. Also, indie glitter lovers rejoice! The fi...
