Admission time: I have an obsession with iridescence. I collect abalone shells, cast-off pearls from broken necklaces, a few pieces of opal jewelry when I can find stuff I can afford. I think I used to have a nail polish in almost exactly this shade of iridescence; it's hard to explain the feeling this brings up. It's like a memory of good times, but not tied to any one event- just every happy moment when I had pearlescent nails.
