I woke up this morning with the idea to try Scorchy over a new polish I received the other day to see how close it looks to Sunset (my favorite polish). It's giving similar vibes, but I prefer how smooth the magnetic pigment in Sunset is. What's your closest Sunset dupe combo?

Polishes: Uno Mas - La Niña (x2)

Cracked Polish - Scorchy (glass bead)

That's what this mani reminds me of! I first saw this combo posted on here a few months ago, and I finally got around to trying it myself! Full details are in the comments!

My drinks fridge used to be filled with alcoholic seltzers and sodas. Now it's protein shakes! The shakes on their own are sweeter than I like, but I add two shots of espresso, which helps a ton!

This polish is so beautiful! I especially love the blue shimmer. The colors remind me of images of Earth from space!

Polishes used: Holo Taco - Smoothing Base

Holo Taco - Long Lasting Base

ANLAC - Seaside with Ouzo (2x demagnetized, 1x magnetized glass bead style)

Holo Taco - Glossy Taco

This polish is so glowy! I really wanted my first mani after my big break to be a show stopper, and this shade definitely fit the bill!

Polish: Lurid Lacquer- Fuck This Shit

I also included a still from the swatch video I made a couple days prior, and the break that prompted the switch up!

This is my first big break since starting my lacquerista journey last Fall. I'm so bummed! Time to file them all down and start fresh!

Polish: Holo Taco - Smoothing Base

BCB Lacquers - Nightshade

Holo Taco - Glossy Taco

Those are tiny shells! Google image search was no help. Can anyone tell me what it is?

Edit: I did return it to the water, assuming there are living creatures in it.

I was in the pool today and noticed just how beautiful my mani looked under the water. I immediately had to get out of the pool to grab my phone and capture the magic!

This is my first Pride month as a lacquerista, and I loved coming up with different rainbow combinations to show my ally-ship!

I've put myself on a low/no buy (I may allow myself a treat next month for my birthday) until Black Friday. This month has been great for using a bunch of my polishes for the first time in different rainbow manis, but this is the only one that's entirely made up of untrieds! I still have a ways to go to get through them all, but I'm working on it!

I wish I had a different purple flakie, but honestly it looked more purple in the bottle than on my finger! Full product list in the comments!

I got a few of these polishes recently, and figured this was the perfect way to use them! I made it a goal to do only rainbow manis for Pride month before I go on vacation on the 26th, and this is mani #3! It's so fun to look at!

10&11: Polished For Days - Lush over Mooncat - The Avatar State

I received Mooncat's The Avatar State last month, and I've finally gotten around to wearing it! I originally tried topping it with Mooncat's Maelstrom, but it was too opaque and blocked more of the glow than I wanted. I received Polished For Day's Lush a couple of days ago, and knew that it was pretty sheer, so I decided to start over and try Lush as my topper instead. It truly is a match made in heaven! I love the combination of the two! Full product description is in the comments!

This was my first time layering magnetics. I was hoping the shift of the velvet base color would show up more than it does. Does anyone have any favorite magnetic layering combos? Full products listed in the comments.

I got my first ANLAC order in the mail yesterday, and decided to use the teal, Haru, first. I'm so impressed with the fine magnetic particles, and it does look amazingly like a gel mani! There are a few tiny bubbles in the top coat, but I can overlook them because it's such a pretty shade!
