Wisteria under staircase lighting 💜✨
Hopping on the Wisteria train since I’ve been seeing so many beautiful posts of it and it’s been sitting in a shoebox untried in my bedroom. 😂 I was walking up the stairs and noticed a flash of periwinkle that I didn’t know existed in the polish so I had to share!
UNT peely base > 2 coats Penelope Luz Wisteria (HHC Jan 2026) > DRK Magic Effect > DRK Seal Glaze > Cuticula scented QDTC
Thumb, index, and pinky: magnetized glass bead style with Etsy 5D spinner stacked with 30lbs horseshoe magnet
Middle and ring: magnetized cateye style with neodymium bar magnet
Method: magnetized the second coat of Wisteria and Magic Effect layer for 45 sec each. Waited 10 min before applying Seal Glaze and another 10 min before applying TC.
I like how Seal Glaze keeps the magnetic effect intact without having to magnetize additional layers and I think it gives the glass bead an aura effect (IMO). I still have some bubbles, though, so need to experiment more on timing and application technique.
P.S. Thanks for tolerating my frequent posts. It’s how I keep myself accountable for using my untrieds before purchasing new polish 😇🙏

Does this count as “prugly”? I kind of love the murky, aubergine jelly base and the fine magnetic pigments that shift from (surprisingly) lime, olive, blue, and pink depending on the angle of the light. I thought it might be similar to BKL’s He Can Leave, but they’re different enough that I can keep both.
