This is two different red jelly polishes, a deeper red on the bottom, then a layer of red glitter shard topper, then a coat of bright red jelly.
That's three more polishes from my untried drawer. I MAY meet my goal of clearing that drawer by the end of the year at the rate I'm going. 😊
This is supposedly a jelly polish, but it really goes on and looks like a crelly to me, despite the name. I'm not complaining, because this light blue actually looks okay on me and only brings out the blue veins in my hand a little bit, so I'm good with it. This also has a light holo top coat.
One more from my untried drawer.
I recently did a polish count (I keep a database) and to my surprise, I have more purple than any other colour. I expected it to be red, but that was second (by ONE bottle). So here's some more purple! This glitter is a one coat wonder, no top coat becuse it dries down matte and lookes really beautiful.
So that's two more from my drawer of untried polishes (the purple under the crackle is an oldie but I haven't worn it in a long time). Also, there's a bit of holo microglitter on the crackle, because it's just a creme and I wanted a bit more sparkle to bring it all together.
Not a bingo card manicure, but one of my untried. I have a dental appointment tomorrow, and my dentist loves seeing what I do with my manicures, so I picked something fun.
These photographs really, really do not do any of these polishes justice, sadly. The flaky topper over the lilac shimmer is damn near magical. 😍
Three more polishes from my untried drawer. 😊
Three from my untried drawer (yes, that gold crackle top coat was untried, believe it or not, because it's the second of two bottles of gold crackle top coat that I own). The brown is a warm, coppery shimmer with a single coat of chocolate brown jelly on top. I very much recommend the "jelly-over-shimmer" thing to try. You can get some really gorgeous effects.
This is a lot more vibrant and saturated in person than it looks in the photo. Definitely neon, and one more from my "untried" drawer.
Magnetic skittle! I've never done this, ever, and now I don't know why not. This was fun. 😁 Four different brands, four more from my untried drawer. I don't have any yellow magnetics, so I used this green-to-yellow one and I think it works pretty well.
JELLY SKITTLE and FIVE polishes from my untried drawer! Four brands, and one of these polishes has been untried since 2013 😳 In my defence, it's a really wonky formula that requires specialised application technique and too many coats, but I kept thinking "one day" I'd finally do it. Today's the day! And when it's only on two nails instead of a full mani, it's a lot easier to handle. Also, some of the nails look patchy or thin around the tips or sides, but it looks a lot nicer in person.
Two more from my untried drawer, two more toward my goal of getting them all tried by the end of the year. I'm still very undecided about the jelly part of this. It looks much better in the photos than IRL. It's a very sheer grey with a slightly blue tone, and I don't think it's very flattering on me (brings out the blue veins in my hands). It also looks kind of "dirty" in this sandwich. I think this confirms destash. The glitter is kind of fun, though, a little hard to work with, but I'm glad it's tried now, anyway.
Photos never do magnetic polish justice, but I got an unsolicited compliment from a stranger on this gorgeous emerald magnetic. I've got a zig-zag cat's-eye pattern on the ring finger and velvet style on the others. From my "untried" drawer. My goal is to get through ALL my untried polishes by the end of this year.
