Yves Saint Laurent Peace Green

I hope you can hear some heraldic trumpets playing (or maybe choirs of angel with harps) but today I have such a stunning polish to share with you-- YSL Peace Green! Is it stretching it to say that this is probably the holy grail polish of 2016? It's pretty true, though. Peace Green is currently one of the most sought after polishes-- I didn't even know it existed until recently, but then got lucky enough to catch a restock at Saks and snatched it up without blinking. As the name might lead you to believe, this is indeed a green polish; a light mint green with a gorgeous (and strong) pink shimmer.

This is the first YSL polish I've ever used. It was... okay. I can't say I'm overly impressed by the formula given the price tag but the color is definitely unique and gorgeous so I guess I'll call it a wash. Not that the formula of Peace Green is terrible, but you do need to be a bit careful when applying it and the first coat was a little streaky. It evened out pretty nicely, though, and I used three coats to cover my gigantic wide nail beds.

Look at that shimmer!!! I am honestly hoping shimmer sees a resurgence in 2016. Don't get me wrong, I love a good holo and am glad we have seen indie polish corner the market on making gorgeous holographic polishes. But I love a good shimmer and seeing unique combinations of colors is always fun. I would say-- if you see this polish grab it! I'm really glad I grabbed it! What about you all? Do you want to see more shimmers this year or are you still in love with holos?
