I Will Be Myself Inspiration

This insanely gorgeous polish is inspired by "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte. The following is the full quote that Lindsay of Night Owl Lacquer got the name from:

“I am not an angel,' I asserted; 'and I will not be one till I die: I will be myself. Mr. Rochester, you must neither expect nor exact anything celestial of me - for you will not get it, any more than I shall get it of you: which I do not at all anticipate.”

I Will Be Myself Swatches

Maker description: a dark grey base with multichrome shimmer that shifts purple/burgundy/copper/gold, plus purple/red/gold ultra chrome chameleon flakes, gunmetal micro flakies and crystal chameleon flakes in purple/red/copper/gold.

2 coats + topcoat

Formula: Good formula. The first coat is sheer, but it builds up easily in just two coats. It does leave slight brushstrokes, so I recommend nice straight strokes, but they mostly dry down with topcoat.

My thoughts: I LOVE this murky, mysterious polish. You already know I love greys, but this one is really special and unique. The shift is very strong so you don't have to try hard at all to see the different colors. It can change completely depending on the lighting. Even just the bottle alone is really mesmerizing.

I Will Be Myself Shift Collage

Like I said, the shift is VERY strong. Here you can see just a few examples of the color range.

To Recap:

You can purchase I Will Be Myself and polishes from other makers on the Polish Pickup website starting March 2nd at 11 AM EST through March 5th at midnight EST.

Thanks for reading!

One last look at these #pridenails that make me so happy 😊🌈✨All polishes are @orly and the stars are from @cirquecolors 🌟 #pridenailart #rainbownails #rainbownailart #orly #orlynails #cirquecolors

Negative space #pridenails using several shades from @orly and stars from @cirquecolors 🌈🌟 #loveislove . . . I took some time off from this account and from nails in general to focus on what feels like a million more important things, but today I took advantage of downtime caused by cancelled plans (thanks a lot, coronavirus 🙄) and sat down to a podcast/nail art session and I gotta say: it felt GREAT. I still find it so relaxing to create these tiny pieces of art. . . . #rainbownails #orly #orlynails #pridenailart #rainbownailart
