A Shortcut to Mushrooms Nail Polish - matte earthy grey

A Shortcut to Mushrooms is an earthy, taupe-leaning, soft grey matte nail polish.  This is a rerelease of a previously discontinued polish!

Inspiration: The Lord of the Rings, by JRR Tolkien. This greige shade mimics the fungi growing in the farmlands around Hobbiton :)

About Matte Nail Polish:

• When the polish looks matte, it's dry! It will still look glossy in the bottle, and while it's wet!
• No top coat needed! If you use one, and it's not a matte top coat, it will make the polish glossy.

Care Instructions

• Store your polish in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight
• Ingredients sometimes settle & gel - give the bottle a few gentle shakes before opening
• Nail polish thickens over time as the solvents inside evaporate. If yours gets too thick, you can bring it back to life with a product called nail polish thinner, sold at any beauty supply store.
• We recommend acetone as the most safe and effective nail polish remover. Moisturize your nails & hands before and after use.
