The Wise Build Bridges - matte turquoise blue with gold flakes

The Wise Build Bridges is a matte-finish nail polish with tiny gold glitter flakes, meant to resemble the turquoise gemstone. Psst! This also glows under UV/blacklight!

NOTE: Currently, photos show this polish with a clear glossy top coat. The finish without top coat is matte!

Inspiration: Black Panther. The name of this polish is a quote from the movie - and it's designed to replicate the color/finish of the lip plate worn by the River Tribe Elder in T'Challa's council.

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.
