They range from thermal, to magnetic, to metallic, to flakie goodness. Keep reading to see more! First up is Illimit é   Wisdom or Wit -- a tri thermal polish that transitions between pearlescent white when warm to sky blue to purple when cold. It also has holographic glitters and blue to green shifting shimmers. Wisdom or Wit is one of the
