Serum No. 5 - Rise and Grind

♥

Happy Monday! I have another from Serum No. 5 to show you today and I picked Rise and Grind because 1) it's my favorite of the collection so far 2) the name is coffee-related and 3) well, it's Monday!

Rise and Grind is described by the maker as follows: It's time to Rise and Grind with micro gold and brass glitter, copper and milky hexes squares in a busy espresso world. Every month, a charitable donation will be made in an amount equal to 20% of the profits of all lacquers sold.

She also says that there may be some reflective curling of the larger copper glitter pieces however I only saw one that looked like it was curling and I've included that glitter in the close-up shots so that you can see it lays perfectly flat on the nail as do the rest of the glitters. I had no issues with application or formula. I've layered this one over Elevation Polish Tettegouche, a dark brown jelly, and used one generous coat of Poshe to finish it off.
