The Grand Admiral - Moonflower Polish - Villains PPU October
Hey everyone! Today I have the awesome honor of bringing you this gorgeous stamping polish for the villains inspiration for Polish Pickup. Yes, that's right - STAMPING polish. This beauty is from Moonflower Polish, made by the lovely Nadia, and is called “The Grand Admiral.”
Now, I know Star Wars isn't everyone's cup of tea, and probably not now that Disney has, ahem, done her wrong, but back in the day, there were some amazing works associated with the Star Wars lore and canon. This polish is inspired by one of the characters to come from the extended universe of the books, the Grand Admiral Thrawn of the Empire. Unfortunately, we all know Disney retconned this universe, dubbing them “Legends” and destroying everything we fans came to know and love, but amazingly, Thrawn was revived from his demise by being reintroduced into the official canon cartoons!
I'm not huge on the books anymore, I read them years ago during school, so I only vaguely remember Thrawn myself. Nadia obviously has a much better memory and love for them; “My love of sci-fi really became an obsession when I read the Heir to the Empire Trilogy (also known as the Thrawn Trilogy) by Timothy Zahn as a pre-teen. I consider them to be necessary reading for any Star Wars fan. Thrawn is a humanoid alien in the Star Wars Universe, one of the few to rise the ranks in the Empire. He's described as having blue skin with red eyes and black hair, and is known for his brilliant strategic mind and ruthlessness. My polish is inspired by his appearance and uniform.”
Thrawn is a Chiss - and so The Grand Admiral is a bright cerulean blue with red shimmer, red-pink-gold aurora pigment, and gold, gunmetal, and red microflakes, with scattered holo. This polish is versatile, and can be worn as regular polish, or of course, stamped. It dries semi-matte, apply shiny topcoat to enhance shimmers, or use a matte topcoat to enhance the microflakes. I've done both, to show the difference the top coat makes!!
This beauty will only be available during the Villains Polish Pickup, October 5th through 8th. It'll be available for $13.50 in a full size 15 ml bottle only, and there's a cap of 75, so make sure you grab yours!!
