piCture pOlish 'Imperial'

Hi guys! Today I have a manicure to show you that I wore on the weekend.

I have a fairly new polish from piCture pOlish to share with you! piCture pOlish is a brand that I really like, although I haven't tried many of their colours {yet - I actually now have a ton to try haha!}. I like that they support nail bloggers & have created a bunch of collaboration shades with them!
I have one of their newest collab shades to show you today.

I'm not sure why my photos seem to look really bad quality in my previews so I apologise if they look that way on your browser too! :/



Imperial is a shade that was created with Jeanette from The Swatchaholic, who is a fantastic nail blogger from Germany. I adore Jen's swatches! ♥ Her photos are incredibly perfect. {See her swatch of Imperial here.}
Imperial is a vibrant purple with a blue shimmer and small gold glitters. It dries a bit matte, as it is quite bright. But I always add a top coat so that's not an issue for me. The formula was nice, as I have found with all the PP shades I've tried. It was the teeniest bit sheer on the first coat, but it only needed 2 coats for opacity on my nails. I really enjoy the PP brush also. It makes the polish really easy to apply.



I paired Imperial, with one of my favourite glitters, I'm Not Lion by China Glaze. {Sorry, my application was a little careless, so there are some bald areas.}


My camera sucks at photographing purples like Imperial, so I had to do some colour correcting in Photoshop. I tried my best to get it as accurate as possible, but below is a photo I took on my iPhone which is very accurate. {Go figure - my phone would take better pictures than my camera.}


piCture pOlish shades tend to go in & out of stock every couple of days so if you're interested in purchasing any of their collab shades {which seem to sell out the quickest I think}, just keep checking back for the one you want. :) That's what I had to do to get my hands on the ones I wanted.
At the time of writing, Imperial is in stock. :)

piCture pOlish is an Aussie company, but they also ship internationally, which is good news for my international friends. They also have some international stockists, however.
