CUPCAKE POLISH | CHESS COLLECTION

Press Sample

Good evening sweeties! I have a lovely 6-piece collection from Cupcake Polish to share with you tonight. Inspired by the visual color palette of the Netflix series The Queen's Gambit as well as the intricacies of the game of chess. Each of these colors evokes nostalgia for the 50’s color palettes and has a unique shift or shimmer that you might not expect – just as one might not always expect the next move in a game of chess! Read on for more info!

Cupcake Polish-Zugzwang

Described as a periwinkle blue packed with red aurora shimmer and red iridescent flakies. Shown here in 3 coats, plus top coat. Formula was good and applied well. Dries with some texture so a top coat is needed for a full, glossy finish.

Cupcake Polish-Stalemate

Described as a teal crème filled with pink/red/orange shifting iridescent flakies. Shown here in 3 coats, plus top coat. Formula was good and applied well. If you have no or minimal free edge you could probably get away with just 2 coats. Dries with some texture so a top coat is needed for a full, glossy finish.

Cupcake Polish-Sicilian Defense

Described as a pink crème nail polish filled with blue/green/orange shifting aurora shimmer. Shown here in 3 coats, plus top coat. Formula was good and applied well. If you have no or minimal free edge you could probably get away with just 2 coats. Dries smoothly with no texture however a top coat is still recommended for a full, glossy finish.

Cupcake Polish-Queening

Described as a rusty red shimmer that shifts to blue/purple/pink/orange in different lighting. Shown here in 3 coats, plus top coat. Formula was good and applied well. If you have no or minimal free edge you could probably get away with just 2 coats. Dries smoothly with no texture however a top coat is still recommended for a full, glossy finish.
