sorry for the shitty lighting and oily fingers. I do my nails at night. I also forgot to photograph this one during the day. |
I got my first ever Julep nail polish. They are a bit pricey, but the formula is lovely. Two-coat-happiness in a bottle. The particular color is Julep Pippa. It's a pretty good pasty-girl flesh tone.
Speaking of flesh...I decided to do (another) gradient because I'm obsessed because I have a healthy appreciation for them. I used a pretty Wet'n'Wild coral color whose name escapes me at the moment. And of course I added Essie's Shine of the Times as an accent nail. (I love that stuff.) Once I got out into sunlight...it looked like flesh...in a creepy way. Honestly, it reminded me of this chair. (Possibly NSFW) Needless to say, this isn't a manicure I'll be repeating. But it turned out well, and was good practice.
Essie's Shine of the Times. Possibly my favorite glitter/flaky/shiny thing EVER. |
Shine Of The Times is awesome....my only issue is it's sooooo thick. Doesn't give you much control over the density of the flakes.
ReplyDeleteyeah, I can see that. But I like that it's thick.
ReplyDeleteAhahah, after clicking on the photo of the chair, what I saw cannot be unseen. Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteSo it's not just me then? Thank the gods!
DeletePut drops of remover into the bottle and shake it. One drop at a time so you don't over do it. Mine spreads so much easier now.
ReplyDeletehmm, I might give that a try.
DeleteThe ones without the accent looks AMAZEBALLS!
