This pattern and the whole manicure reminds me of something from my childhood growing up in Belorussia. I can't quite pinpoint on what it reminds me of, but wheat straw was/is frequently used for decoration and weaving. I don't have a suitable image to show you, just going of childhood memories here :)
CQ Ivory is just as the name describes. A soft ivory color. Nearly white with just a hint of yellow. The polish does have a bit of a pearly shimmer to it, but it is hardly noticeable. The formula was very easy to work with and opaque in two coats. Smooth like butter (and kind of looks like it too)...

ReplyDelete@Cindy-y, I had to call the mfg for a list of ingredients since for some reason they don't list it on the bottles, but they did confirm that all Scherer polishes (CQ, Petites, and Chameleon) are B3F. Also Camphor free...
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
