The First Flapper

This is regular polish, not gel, but because its 10 free it can be sandwiched in gel.

This is our annual Valentines collection. If you’ve been with us a while, you’ll know I HATE valentines, so instead of the typical Valentine’s Day collection. We give a spotlight to incredible women that have been done wrong throughout literature, history, music, and/or current events.

So, this is our Valentine to them. I’m including a small write up of how they were done wrong, below the polish description. Feel free to skip it. There’s no quiz 😉

WITHOUT FURTHER ADO – THE 2024 WOMEN DONE WRONG COLLECTION!

Here we have The First Flapper she is a purple jelly with a mix of ghost flakes and holographic shards.
I was inspired by her favorite colors and her artwork.

The First Flapper is inspired by Zelda Fitzgerald. Zelda Fitzgerald was a writer and socialite in the Deep South when she met and fell in love with a military man named F. Scott Fitzgerald. He was an aspiring writer just as she was, but he was having trouble selling his book. It wasn’t until he rewrote it with excerpts from a letter Zelda had written to him that he actually was able to sell his book and it became a huge hit! Zelda was flattered thinking it was a tribute. They lived the high life until the money ran out and it was time for a new book. F. Scott had a severe case of writer’s block and a growing alcohol addiction. That’s when he turned to Zelda’s journals. She wrote about her life, poetry, and sometimes ideas for stories she’d like to tell. That’s when his next book began to take shape. The Beautiful and the Damned was straight out of her journals. Of course, he was a great writer in his own right but there’s no doubt she was providing more than inspiration. When Zelda found out she was no longer flattered. To calm her he promised to make his editor publish her book when she finished it. When she did finish her book, she submitted it to F. Scott’s publisher, and they loved it! F.Scott was immediately upset and leveraged his power over his publisher to demand edits to her book that would devalue the story. His treachery worked, Zelda said in an interview that she loved her book, and it was a shame what they choose to publish instead. After this she went on to write plays knowing that in literature her husband would stand in her way. She also took up ballet (again) and painting. However, she would say to anyone that would listen that “Plagiarism begins at home,” and it was often published as a quote. On and off throughout her life she was institutionalized and given electric shock therapy, and she eventually died in a fire at a sanitarium, while sedated and locked in a room.

Zelda Fitzgerald WDW!

NOTE: Shake vigorously before application.
