Opossum
Opossum
Opossum is an “opossum nose pink” shimmer that glows in the dark like the full moon. This polish is inspired by the often misunderstood marsupial, the opossum.
”They’re often believed to be stupid, dirty creatures, but the truth is just the opposite – possums are smarter, cleaner, and more beneficial to humans than many of their wild neighbors.
While they’re not the cutest creatures [I beg to differ], they should be a welcome addition to your backyards. Unlike other mammals that carry ticks, and potentially spread Lyme Disease, possums gobble up more than 90 percent of the ticks they encounter. Since they constantly self-groom with their tongues and paws, they’re one of the cleanest critters you’ll come across. And while they’re not totally immune to rabies, they rarely carry it. As a marsupial, possums have a lower body temperature than most other mammals, so their bodies don’t provide a suitable environment for the virus.
So when you come across an opossum, don’t fear – just give it a little room to wander away so it can continue being a good, helpful neighbor.”
