First time doing a skittle! It was so hard to get pictures to accurately show these colors, I think these are pretty decent!

Also, I always feel like my hand looks so awkward when taking these pictures please tell me I’m not alone 🤣

Wicked Lacquer Perfect Peel Base Coat
1x Mooncat The Avatar State (used mainly to help prevent possible staining, but did actually kind of glow through the dark colors - probably would’ve shown more if I did 2x!)
3x on all of the following
Pinky & thumb - Riding Sleeping Bags Down the Stairs
Index - Common Violet
Middle - The Ecstasy of Color
Ring - Blue Wild Indigo
Glisten & Glow Top Coat

Idk what it is about this color, but I absolutely love it 😍 and finally one I’m not getting bored of in two days 😂it’s too bad this one is DD’d 😞

Ok this is stunning - I just love the reflective polishes Karen makes 😍 In order to not use as many coats, I did use mooncat Dark Horse as a base color (I knew I could find a use for it!) 🤎

base coat - mooncat hardcore base coat

Unfortunately, Esmeralda only lasted a couple of days before it started chipping on me (I’m thinking because of the base coat I used), so I decided to just start over. Went through my swatched and saw these two next to each other and thought that they went very well together 🥰 Here’s to hoping this lasts me more than two days!

Decided that my first polish to use out of my recent haul would be this gorgeous shade I received as a GWP, and I love how pretty she is 😍

I did a google search for “mirando al mar” and was led to this, via musixmatch.com “The song 'Mirando al Mar' by Jorge Sepulveda portrays a nostalgic longing for a lost love, symbolized by the sea. The sea represents memories of past happiness and the hope for its return, evoking emotions of sadness and yearning for a lost connection.” ~ beautiful, just like this polish 🌊🩵💙

..is there such a thing as too many polishes?! I just got my order in from the PBE release and rereleases (plus some others!) and I also was lucky enough to receive a GWP!

Also featuring, It’s My Birthday! I Can Bark if I Want To! in honor of my 39th yesterday 💕

If anyone has this polish new, or only used for a couple of mani’s and is willing to part with it, I would love to purchase from you, preferably via PayPal, and hopefully under $30 including shipping. TIA!

I’ve recently become obsessed with Lurid Lacquer and just wanted to show off how pretty I think this is 💚

Base coat - HT Sticky Base
2 coats MC Green Eyed Monster
2 (maybe 3?) coats Lurid Lacquer’s Valencia in Bloom
Ring finger - topped with 2 coats Beneath the Summer Sun
Top coat - Essie Gel Couture

First time using a Lurid polish, and I’m obsessed with this one.
Started out with:
1x HT sticky base
2x MC What A Brilliant Nose
2x O, Dauntless, Guarded Beauty
1x MC SDTC
1x (I think?) Essie Gel Couture Top Coat

Then after a couple of days I added 2x more O, Dauntless and 2x Essie Gel Top Coat.

I LOVE how shimmery and sparkly she is! Definitely a polish I’ll need back ups for 😍
