Cupcake Polish 90’s Trio

  Hello, hello! I have a wonderful trio from Cupcake Polish to share with you all today.  This trio has been inspired by the 90’s (one of the best decades, in my opinion) and all 3 polishes are thermals.  The 90’s trio releases 4/15 at 8pm CDT  and will be Limited Edition and single batch. The individual price will be $13.  Jelly Shoes is a pink (cold) to white (warm) crelly thermal packed with a variety of glitters in various shapes (hexagons, circles, stars, hearts, squares and bars) in orange, pink and purple! My swatches show 3 coats and a quick drying top coat. This polish is so unique, I’ve never seen anything like it!  Grunge is a brick red to grey/beige creme thermal that is packed with copper shimmer as well as silver and gold flakies. This polish screamed grunge to me and had me wanting to stamp some plaid over it. My swatches show 2 coats and a quick drying top coat.  VHS is a purple to teal shimmery thermal filled with blue to pink shifting shimmer, blue to teal to purple t
