Magnetic Sea Glass Pride Skittle!

Long time lurker and commenter, first time posting a mani of my own! She’s not perfect, but I love her, top coat bubbles and all. I’ll add a gif in the comments.

All fingers:
- Base: Rogue Lacquer Vortex (x1), Moon Shine Mani Strengthening Basecoat (x1).

- Magnetic Layers: all magnetized in the glass bead style for ~90s, using a self-printed spinner and 22lb horseshoe magnet, topped with Glitch’s Lock and Kay, and magnetized for an additional 90s.

- Top: Cracked QDTC (x1), Mooncat Matte Made in Hell (x1), Olive and June Dry Drops.

Skittle:
Thumb: Fancy Gloss Strawberry Jelly (x1), Cracked Scorchy (x1), FG Strawberry Jelly (x2).

Index: Cirque Mustard Jelly (x1), Cracked Thin Ice (x1), Mustard Jelly (x1).

Middle: Cirque Linen Jelly (x1), Fancy Gloss Nebular Pull (x1), Forest Jelly (x1). (I think Nebular Pull is a little too dark and kind which I’d just done Forest Jelly and Thin Ice… lacquer and learn!)

Ring: Fancy Gloss Blueberry Jelly (x1), Fancy Gloss Gravity Pull (x1), Blueberry Jelly (x1).

Pinky: Cracked Taro Milk Tea (x1), Fancy Gloss Celestial Pull (x1), Taro Milk Tea (x1).
