Many moons back - when I would get them professionally done- I had selected this color… multiple times. I adored it, but had the worst time finding it. I finally found it, but the polish is old and runny. Almost 24 hrs and they are still a bit “soft”, unsure how long I’ll leave them on.
Topped with Cracked Polish - Make it Pretty for a dash of sparkle
Want to add some more creams to my collection, always looking for polishes that compliment my warm skin. Already planning my BF list and taking the possible sale into account, it sounds like the best time to stock up.
What are your favorite warm creams? Pics?
This polish stayed in my head since it came out, but I never bought it thinking I could dupe it at home. I think it’s pretty close, in normal lighting it’s spot on.
Polishes used: Sally Hansen Scarlet Starlet, ILNP MPRX, Cracked Mascara Flakes, Fancy Floss Let it Glow Red/Pink, Cracked Grenadine.
Thumb has a coat of Fancy Gloss Black Thermal under the FS and Grenadine. It’s a tad warm outside so end of nail doesn’t stand out as much.
The red ink polish is one that I’ve been trying to pan all year. I aim to include it in at least one mani for each bingo I’ve been participating this year.
Group project is my attempt at duping a PPU polish on top of the “red ink edits”.
A two for one special 😁
My first backpack was a pink leatherish messenger bag… I loved that bag, core memory unlocked.
Second polish has a nice green shimmer to it that reminds me of soap bubbles.
Pic from a vaca to Florida. I can still hear the waves.
Original inspo was/is the great Dolly Parton. I knew that she loved her butterflies and pink. One thought led to another, and my selection of the prettiest and sparkliest pinks I have.
Sherbet nails. Just realized that even with all these squares filled out, I still haven’t had a single bingo 😂
Cracked Delicacy in Sardinia in 3x very much a crelly.
Cracked Terracotta Ruins in 2x, but super creamy and really only needed 1x for full coverage.
I can’t even do straight lines with a ruler, no way was I attempting them on my nails. Dots will have to do.
You ever buy a polish based on pics and hope for the best, but prepared for the worst? This is exactly what’s happen when I did my mani last night with PFD You’re Going to be Popular. Under night yellow light it’s just really glowy, and I was massively disappointed by ILNP Flower Child against my warm olive skin. But this morning OMG, my nails glow, they shift, they are everything!!! I’m just insufferable right now staring at them every which way.
Left hand is ILNP Opal Sunset, also beautiful and my second time wearing it.
Thought the colors worked well enough off each other to pair them up on each hand.
Solar polishes for the win!
I’ve thought to make this skittle late into summer thinking they might work. Was surprised how well they look together. Keep moving my hand back and forth😁.
All but one polish used is Cracked.
Thumb to pinkie:
OPI - Malaga Wine (2x)
Cracked Strawberry Jam (3x) topped with Make it Pretty (1x)
Cracked Lone Star Rose (3x)
Cracked Strawberry Jam (2) Street Corner Bouquet (1)
OPI Malaga Wine (2)
Really like how these turned out.
They are close, but not the same. Each one def calls for a different mood.
Right hand: Cracked - Blood Orange Sangria is def a bright happy summer color that looks beautiful and presentable for all occasions.
Left hand: Mooncat - Pandemonium leans more orange, so if you don’t have the right skin tone I can see how it would seem too much. That’s because the color IS too much! It’s an in your face, look at me when I enter the room, I’m loud and proud, and no light or comment will affect my mood. I’ve now worn this color twice this summer, couldn’t wait to wear it again.
Accent nail is KBShimmer - It’s Hip to be Square.
I mean… the polish is already drink inspired, Sanguine Citrus Punch.
Really digging using polishes with warm red shimmers during the summer.
ILNP - Rosalie
