With each shade representing a different facet of the human struggle, the polishes vary wildly in vibrancy and finish. This in an effort to capture the emotions that we rarely talk about.

New from Petal Polish:

Petal Polish has a new collection out (as of Monday this week). Three colours - Bougainvillea, Hibiscus, and African Tulip - form the first part of a series of polishes called 'The Aspley Collection'. The collection takes it's name from my suburb, and the polishes are inspired by the same.
