Pretty Jelly Brocade

Hey everybody!  How was your Wednesday?  That good, huh?  I was so hot today that I wondered if I was going to experience some good ol' Charles Dickens-esque spontaneous combustion and burst into flames. 

I'm hot all the time.  I hate being hot.  Fortunately though, all these cozy-looking new fall polish colors aren't increasing my already elevated body temperature! :)  And have I got a lovely one to show you today...Pretty Jelly creator Liz has designed a trio called the Rich Fabrics collection, inspired by, you guessed it, luxurious fabrics.  

Today I am showing the decadent Brocade.  Mmmmm!


Brocade is described as a blackened plum with a strong gold shimmer.  It's a linear/scattered hybrid holo.  Maybe I'm nuts, but I think that in indirect light, Brocade looks like a really lovely and shimmery light golden brown.  Maybe I'm sleepier than I thought.


Brocade is every bit as rich-looking as its name suggests.  I imagine this will also be quite versatile due to its utterly delicious ambiguity. :D  I used three coats of Brocade for the photos, and application was typical Pretty Jelly perfect.
 


Isn't Brocade gorgeous?  Still drooling too much to answer that?  YES it is!!  

Final thoughts:  Brocade (the polish) shall grace my person way more than brocade (the fabric) will.  Brocade fabric, while extremely elegant, is just...hot. :(

You can find Brocade and all Pretty Jelly polishes on Etsy.  Thanks for stopping by, and have a lovely day! <3

  1. Such a gorgeous holo this is. I don't think I own anything like it too.

  2. I think plums tend to have brownish undertones so you might be sleepy but you're also right, lol :) This is so pretty! And beautiful on you, too! And once again, Pretty Jelly comes up with the most fabulous names and themes. I can't wait to see the rest of the collection.

    1. I'm always sleepy, but at least I was right about this. :P This is a lovely and fascinating polish. As I commented to Lisa, it looks like a foil in the shade. It even applies like a foil. It's almost surprising when it lights up and goes all holo on you, LOL.

    3. Isn't this so gorgeous? I'm just feeling smug that I actually own a brocade jacket this exact color. How lucky was that??
