Description: “Opaque, super-pale pink frost”

Review:

Pros

  • Beautiful color
  • Very opaque
  • Very shiny

Cons

  • I’m not a fan of the bottles/brushes of these polishes! :( I hate the way I get way to much polish on the brush and then it goops up! Also, I feel like I have no control with the longer brush!
