Back with another July PPU polish! Basecoat: ORLY Bonder Base Polish: Dangelfoot Twitterpated (July PPU Rewind) Topcoat: Essie Good to Go This was my first go at magnetized velvet nails, and only my 2nd attempt at magnetics in general. I feel like the magnetic aspect to this one is super responsive! It's a pretty teal blue with light blue and purple shimmer. Happy with how these came out for my first try!

This thermal is so much fun! Warm it is yellow green, cool it shifts to teal blue. I love the chunky flakies, and the formula was super easy to work with. This is 2 coats topped with Essie Good to Go topcoat.

Hello! I purchased these bottles last month during the release/sale + freebie bottles of Four Days/Nights. This is my first foray into Arcana Wildcraft and I'm pleased so far! As someone who is averse to "green" scents, these blends strike a good balance. So here are a few reviews from the collection, including 3 new scents and 2 returning scents. **Four Nights:** (*Notes: Opening with petrichor and sleepy French lavender, then drying down to the softest woolen blankets piled on a cool forest floor at midnight.*) This is so realistic. It really puts you into a scene. It feels like curling up with a good book during a rainstorm. Wet I get mostly rainy lavender. It's soft cozy lavender, not sharp at all. It warms up a bit with the cashmere as it drys down. It seriously smells like sitting on a warm blanket in the forest after a rainstorm. The forest notes aren't too green, it's a nice earthy forest scent. I find this blend to be very versatile and gender neutral. My husband and I both love and wear this one. Throw is moderate, I smell it on myself throughout the day. Sillage is pretty good, I get about 5-6 hours on skin, but I'm smelling it strongly on my shirt 12 hours later! **Puck** (*Notes: A rich amber accord (labdanum, benzoin, and sweet Tahitian vanilla) is warmed with velvety plum, ripe fig, layers of incense, cedar resin, incantations on old parchment, and soft woods*.) Rich warm resinous woods. The plum and fig lend a jammy quality, and it reminds me of warm mulled wine. There are no distinct warming spices, but the combination of amber and incense and cedar creates a spiced scent. The cedar and incense starts off strong, while the plum and fig become more prominent with dry down. This is probably my favorite of the collection, though I will say it reads more Fall than Summer to me personally. This one is not overly sweet. Initial throw on this one is moderate, it dries down a bit closer to the skin. I can smell myself, but it doesn't carry. It settles to a warm woody vanilla, wear time is 4-5 hours until it is less detectible. **Four Days** (*Notes:Sun warmed mango and fuzzy peach are whipped into coconut milk, Oaxacan vanilla bean, cardamom crème, sweet Tonka, sheer voile, and the softest musk*.) Bright juicy fruit. Both the mango and peach are distinguishable. The coconut is a bit stronger than I had hoped. When wet it pulls almost sunscreen-esque with the fruit and coconut. It's nice and creamy, though I don't personally pick up on the cardamom. It manages to not be too sweet with the listed notes. It's a very realistic fruit and coconut scent. I wish the coconut was tamer, I don't know if I can shake the sunscreen association enough to enjoy wearing this one. I will say that I get more fruit and less coconut now that this bottle has rested about a month. The coconut was stronger when I first received the order. Throw is moderate when wet, but quickly plays close to the skin after drydown. After a few hours, the fruit fades and you're left with a soft vanilla-coconut cream. Wear time is about 5 hours. **Moth** (*Notes: Lilac-infused champagne, wild-harvested juniper berries and boughs, white iris, dry vanilla bean soda, silken wings, and cool water.*) Fizzy! I didn't know a scent could capture fizziness so aptly. It's primarily dry champagne. There is a light floralness to it, and just a touch of sweetness from the vanilla. I wouldn't call this scent green, but I can pick up on the juniper. It blends well with the champagne. Throw is low, this one wears very close to the skin. And my husband's first impression was that it smells like a dank basement? Can't say I agree with that one, but he may be picking up more on the water and green notes. This one is faint (like barely smell it if I put my nose to my wrist) after 4 hours. **Cobweb** (*Notes: Pistachio gelato and vanilla ice cream over soft forest mosses and wild-harvested fir tips.*) Cold foresty ice cream. The green notes in this one have developed more as this bottle has rested. It's creamy and mildly sweet. The moss and fir notes complement the ice cream without being overbearing. The pistachio kind of takes a back seat to the other notes in this one. Throw is moderate when wet, but is much softer after dry down. My husband approved of this one much more than Moth, and says it makes him crave gelato. Longevity is medium on this one, faint but detectible at 4 hours. Overall, my favorites are **Four Nights** and **Puck**, and though I wouldn't say I dislike any of these, I may end up destashing **Four Days**. It reminds me a bit too much of sunscreen despite the lovely realistic fruity scents.

That's a hard one! Do they use perfume already and have any scent preferences? I like foodie sweet scents, or vanilla scents.

Lately it's been collecting Indie Perfumes. They are much more adventurous and complex than most mainstream scents. It's really fun to pair scents with experiences or moods. I've roped my husband into it and it's like a puzzle game to find scents for him as well.

Is that doggo a great Dane mix? That spindly leg pose looks familiar!
