16 test nails later I present my 4th of July Algae Nails (and "reflecting pool" drink 😁)
Don't mind the inside of my cabinet... It's where I usually take my nail pictures, but I'm not used to having a large prop 😂 If anyone want to see the rest of the test nails let me know. Most didn't turn out great and a LOT of polishes were used so I figured I'd keep the main post simple.
Polish: Fancy Gloss- The Toxic B*tch (PPU July 2023)
I felt the name was quite fitting and I'm so glad it's still crazy reactive even though it's 3 years old!
The drink recipe can be found here: Horse Medicine - How to Drink
I know it looks gross, but it's one of my favorite drinks! I added edible edible glitter dust, gold leaf, ripped up blue fruit roll ups, and a green sugar rim all to add to the algae factor. You can't really see the fruit roll up in most of the pictures as a lot fell to the bottom, but you know what? The spirit (pun intended) is there. Also with all of the added sugar I think this may be the sweetest drink I have ever consumed lol Still pretty great!
Edit almost forgot!
Nail tips: Una Gella- Short Almond
Top coat: Vibrant Scents Fast& Hard- Courage (Another fitting name!) The scent is apple cinnamon. It came from PPU, but I don't know the year and month.
