Daring Digits Master Shake

Today in wearing daring digits master shake. I'm very disappointed in this polish... The listing shows a deliciously squishy soft white jelly with pink and gold glitter, she changed the formula and this polish is now a frosty pearly mess. The formula went on pretty easily, and if you like frosty pearly things this may work out well for you. I really don't like it and didn't even polish my right hand. This is 3 coats plus one coat SV.

All That Glitters Hole Hearted & Zoya Uli

I don't do nudes. I can never find one that suits my coloring, I have about 8 different shades of tan that make me look funky just sitting in my melmer. That being said, I was gifted Zoya Uli in an Easter exchange that I was a part of and I REALLY like it. It has just enough gold in it to be interesting and is 'nude' enough to not make me look oddly pink or green. I can't possibly leave well enough alone so I topped Uli with Hole Hearted. I LOVE hole hearted in theory, but in practice it's a lot of work to get even one heart per nail...
Pictures are Uli by itself and then with hole hearted.

Tina and Lucy Disco

Today I'm wearing Disco by etsy seller Tina and Lucy. This is two coats. To be totally honest, I was a little disappointed with this polish. The listing shows a very coral looking shade and this is very much tan/nude. It's my fault though because the description says its a tab base, I guess I'll just have to pay more attention next time.

New glitter frankens!

I love matte micro glitter, I especially love micro glitter in white base... So, I've been feeling a serious need to make my own, and here they are. The first is a matte white base with black micro glitter, it's pretty dense and has excellent coverage. The second is semi matte with pink and black micro glitter and fine satin finish pink glitter.
I've been getting a lot of questions about my frankens and whether or not I'm going to sell them. I don't think I would want the responsibility of a store but if you want one of my glitters send me an email and we can definitely work something out.

Pretty & Polished Jawbreaker Matte

Still not 100% from my surgery (it's been a little less than a week) so I decided to rewear a polish I love. This is P&P jawbreaker, the original formulation so it's slightly pink tinged from the red squares that Chelsea used to use. To change it up a bit I topped it with Essie Matte About You which gives a beautiful velvet matte texture. This is 2 coats jawbreaker, 1 coat SV, and one coat of matte about you

I'm back! Julep Susan and Amy

I'm back from the hospital, my operation went well and I should be back on my feet in a few days. I couldn't sleep the night before so I painted my nails... I chose Julep Susan and Amy and used them to make contrasting flowers, this mani made it through my hospital stay and seemed to entertain my nurses.
