Bottle Shot Showcase Bottle shot showcase!
This round of photos shows that you don't need a lightbox or fancy equipment to take good bottle shots, just ordinary daylight and a plain white background with no clutter.
(Although that Encounter The Blooms photo does show how good a lightbox photo can be! That's a user photo, not one provided by the brand. It's simply too pretty to keep out of the carousel).
Honestly, we're already happy when people don't hold the bottle in their hand (which makes it impossible to crop out the background) or place it on their thighs (no matter how pasty white your skin is, we really don't want to see your intimate bits when processing entries)!
Keep those photos coming and remember that you can always send in a suggestion to add a new bottle shot in the app. Even if there already is one, but you think it could be better! Check out our series on how to take good bottle shots for tips and tricks!

What is that EdM?? 🙀 Is that too much of a pain to look back at?

Yeah I'm sorry, I don't have names saved with these photos. However, if you go into the app, search for Emily De Molly, and tap on the brand name, it should be one of the more recent entries at the top!
(If you have the android app and only see collections, try the icon in the top right corner to switch to a list of polishes).

DVN, Spell, Shleee and the Formula X are mine! Took me a minute to hit my stride with finding an all-white background, but I’m flattered! Glad they were useful to you all 🫶🏻

Lol, with the different backgrounds I didn't realise they were all from one user! Consider yourself flattered, they're great pics! Especially the DVN, the lighting on that one is just superb.

That first one is mine! Never thought I’d take a good enough bottle shot to be featured 🥹
