Uncanny

Description

A creamy, muted, pale greige crelly loaded with shimmering aurora shifting from purple to magenta and orange at extreme angles. This polish absolutely shines in low lighting and works as a great nude shade with a touch of uncanny whimsy. Buildable to near opacity in three coats, some visible nail line may appear in intense lighting or depending on your application. I recommend using a blurring basecoat or layering over a creme polish if potential sheerness is a concern. This polish has a very, very slight chance of staining so I recommend using a basecoat if that is a concern.

If your polish becomes thick or hard to apply overtime, you can mix acetone free nail polish thinner and shake vigorously to restore it to its original consistency. Store with the brush cap upright, away from direct sunlight, and with the cap tightened to best care for your polish and reduce any chances of fading.

Story

Image of Child playing with unknown toy? (Believed to be childhood image of Ivy) found in the attic study of the Tilps Estate within a filing cabinet. Also contained in the filing folder is an opened envelope containing a letter from Christa Tilps (Ship date marked as September 1, 1971)

Dearest Ivy,

Thank you for spending the summer with Essie. It was a lovely opportunity to join James for his guest lecture tour in Europe and I’m grateful I could leave her in such good hands. She’s been exceptionally spirited since coming back to us and I can’t help but feel hopeful for the new school year ahead of us, as well as a new rejuvenation as a mother. 

I fear I have a slight concern regarding the brownie incident she keeps mentioning. James assured me it was a perfectly normal experience in at the house and mostly safe (I’ve tried to make him stop bringing up his stories around Essie) but I fear how her peers will treat her if she continues to bring up these occurrences at the new school. I fear James has been no help with this matter so I hope you’ll be able to share some of your wisdom from growing up surrounded by the uncanny happenings of the Tilps house. I just don’t want her to be treated poorly for all the strangeness surrounding our family.

I hope none of this letter comes across as critical of your care after you’ve done us such a great kindness. I know Essie will cherish so many of these memories for the rest of her life and I’m eternally grateful for that. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely your sister,

Christa Tilps
