What a cutie

Would love to see other undertones as sibling polishes. The most important thing to note is the main glow is blue and it will be sheer at an angle. It’s also smooth shimmer and not gritty glitter

Beautiful, delicate, shimmery

I really enjoy this one. It pulls very white with a beautiful sparkle. Here on my pointer and ring finger

it’s so shimmery and glowy in the sunlight, pearly in indirect lighting, it’s kinda sheer even in 3 coats but it’s so shimmery that you almost can’t tell, totally not as pretty on camera as it is in person, pictures do not do it justice!

Staple color

This is my absolute perfect palette cleanser/work-for-any-occasion color, just wow, I wish it weren’t a PPU and available in the permanent catalogue. I know my swatch photo could have been layered up more, but I wanted to include it because I feel there’s already several photos that represent how it builds up. I did only one coat, but I feel like this is how I’ll be wearing it most, I threw this on when I literally had two minutes to be out the door for a dinner/live performance I was invited to (maybe not my cleanest swatch photo but this demonstrates how well it performed for me- seriously!). I get the folks who have said this has “bridal vibes”, and it has an elegance to it that can certainly work that way, but I’m loving it for its versatility, one coat was even as hell and its color and buildable coverage gives it potential to work for any occasion. Love love.

Worth The Hype!

I kept hearing how gorgeous Refraction was and how much everyone wanted it to come back and now I know why! I can’t stop looking at my hands and the pictures don’t show how pretty this shade is. It’s great by itself, but I think it would also be a gorgeous topper as well. I’m so glad it was brought back and I was able to snag it!

Spectacular!

A beautiful sheer white that plays with your nail bed color. Very shiny/sparkly in light and glowy in indirect light. My new favorite white! Good for every season/occasion!

Photos don’t do it justice!

I friggin' Loooove this!

Beautiful polish. It was my first order from ppu. It's one of my favorite polishes i own. I Adore white shimmers. This is perfectly achieved that glittering glinting sunlight sparkling and bouncing off water effect I believe she was trying to achieve. Something about the finish and the effect of those green silver and blue glitters that gives it a very unique icy, slick wet, glazey and dimensional look. I love how sheer it is and how I can do one or three layers and still see visible nail line. I love vnl. Beautiful glass ice nails with this true neutral white shimmery special bottle of magic sauce.

One of My Absolute Favorites!

I am a sucker for these types of shades and Refraction is no exception! I love wearing Refraction as a topper. In this picture, I used two coats of a white jelly and two coats of Refraction. This combo makes the perfect bridal style nails. I love how shimmery and dainty this shade is.

True to the OG

Exactly like my original release bottle, it is a bit warmer than Freezy. Gorgeous. Grab it while you can!

It’s a pretty, shimmery white. Very bridal. It didn’t blow me away, but I have many shimmery whites in my collection already. Very versatile: good in 1,2 and 3 coats, and looks cool over black. At 3 coats, it doesn’t reach opacity, so if VNL bothers you, just use a blurring base.

Wowww

This is absolutely beautiful! So glad this was brought back for rewind. It’s such a lovely light ethereal shade that works both built up on its own or as a topper. Tempted to grab a second bottle while available. Everyone should consider snagging one of these. This is the kind of polish that’s beautiful year round and on all skin tones. Love love love

It’s a pretty shimmery white

It’s a pretty shimmery white. Looks great as a topper especially over a dark shade. I didn’t grab this one through PPU but I was lucky enough to get it in a mystery bundle. Very pretty!!

I regretted not buying this in PPU then got lucky

I regretted not buying this in PPU then got lucky and scored it in the mystery bundle. It is so pretty. I can see some lovely wintery manis in my future.

My FAVORITE Cracked Polish...and I have a lot

I almost didn't buy this, but I'm so happy I did. What a unique polish! It is SO glowy it is the closest thing to looking like a chrome polish I have seen. Yet, at some angles, it isn't even there! A masterpiece of understated beauty. Looks like fresh fallen snow at some angles.
