Who would have guessed that a pearl was the product of an oyster trying to soothe a bit of irritation?  Whether it’s a shard of shell from an injury, a food particle, or a parasite, that precious nacre coat starts to form the pearl.  These precious gems come in a wide variety of colors, some even iridescent.

What A Pearl Wants is a white iridescent microflake nail polish.  This multifaceted shade can be layered to add an opalescent shimmer to any manicure.  Two to three coats worn alone form a uniquely colorful manicure showing off a rainbow of hues in pink, gold, green, and copper.  Over some shades, you may catch hints of blue.  As with most microflake polishes, thin coats with some drying time in between will offer the best results.
