Cult Nails Clairvoyant: The one that got away

So my heart broke earlier this year when Cult Nails, one of my most favorite nail polish companies, announced that Clairvoyant (if the bottle has gold lettering then it's Unicorn Puke) would be discontinued. I had missed the initial restock, but was satisfied to know that two months later it would be restocked and I could get it then. The tragedy occurred right before the restock when they received the news that two of the ingredients that made Clairvoyant what it is were gone....possibly forever. Now, months later, I'm pretty sure everyone has given up on those ingredients ever coming back but Cult Nails has promised they would continue to try to reformulate and, knowing how diligent and wonderful they are, I believe they still are!

However my heart was broken. So rare that bottles barely pop up for sale and when they do it's so far out of my price range I can't get one. Then, THEN! The impossible happened! My polish addiction enabler over at Constantly Redone told me she had bought a bottle for me. She showed up ON MY DOORSTEP holding the prized nail polish. And I was so right to lust after this beauty:
 *SQUEAL* It's a deep blue/purple jelly with the most insanely amazing assortment of flakies packed into it. I layered two coats of it over a coat of Julep Taylor for this stunning manicure that I just couldn't take my eyes off of. Can you blame me??
Look at the depth and life of this polish!
These were all taken on an overcast day and let me tell you! In the sun they are even more dazzling! Can you even imagine?!
It is everything I had hoped for and so much more. I am still in shock and ever so grateful. This was the one polish I yearned and pined for. I am truly loved <3

  1. Wow, this polish looks amazing on your nails! This week I bought a flake top coat from Sephora and I feel in love with it, the effect that I obtain is quit similar with what I see in your pictures.

    1. Oh word really?! I know the selection in Sephora overseas is a bit different then here but I'm kind of wondering what color it is. Lucky you!

    1. I am so spoiled aren't I?! I don't think they ever released what it was that was missing and they haven't posted anymore updates sadly :(
