Things have finally calmed down enough for me to make a post lol. I was gifted a nail appointment for my wedding from a friend, and the first photo is what I walked out with on Thursday. I HATED it so much lol, it was giving Christmas. The next few photos are after she redid them on Friday, she was awesome about it and did not make me feel bad at all for needing them redone. I still think I could've done a better job because the bits of dark polish that she didnt completely remove were bothering me, but the pink velvet magnetic was a much better and more bridal look. They will look nice in the photos once I get those back 😊

The last photos are of what I did yesterday. I did 2 coats of Devil's Ivy on top of the wedding nails because I get bored too quickly lol. Topped it off with one coat of Speed Demon. I am dreading removing the gel nails because I'm so used to the quick removal of lacquer, but am happy with the velvetized Devil's Ivy for now!

Doing my nails is such a stress relief and I always feel so happy when I'm done and they look pretty 🤣 my wedding is October 3rd and I feel like a whole mess (not sure why, everything is pretty much set lol) so this is the 3rd time I've done my nails since Saturday 🤣 CDL is gorgeous, I could actually see this being what I'd wear next weekend if I was doing my own nails! My top coat left some bubbles which is frustrating, I ordered the KB Shimmer thinner last night and it already shipped so hopefully thinning it out will prevent the bubbling.

Not 100% sure how i feel about the flakies, but I'll wait until I can see it in sunlight to decide. We will see how long i last with this mani before I do my next one! Im debating between The Silent Scream, The Illusionist, and Electromagnetic Furball.

My second velvet mani ever lol.

I've already ordered like 6 more magnetics after putting this on, I've never had my nails complimented as often as I have when wearing this! No lie this might be my favorite polish EVER🥹

I have been waiting for this to be available again because I couldn't justify dropping $40+ on one polish from resellers😅

It's SO sparkly in the sunlight! The velvet style has always been my favorite and I only just got my own horseshoe magnet. I was nervous to try it but it turned out great, it looks so glassy!

All swatches are topped with 1 coat of Emily De Molly Pinkie Swear. I especially like it on Lost Polaroids and Sabertooth!

I actually love this lol

It was my first time using Cosmic Cowboy and I immediately wished I had done the whole mani in it 🤣 I love the jelly look it has and I did not expect that since I'm not really familiar with jelly finishes yet. They do both look really noce together though and I will fight the urge to remove MT and do all CC🤣

First picture was from before I started Zep, second picture is today, 30 lbs down. Not brave enough to share my body yet😅

I've been loving burgundy and dark red at the moment, so I ordered From The Ashes and it is perfect! Opaque in one coat, and was exactly what I was looking for. I love sparkle so I was searching for a sparkly version of this, and found Gates Of Hell which I ordered on Mercari. After doing this mani, my order for GoH arrived and I realized I pretty much duped it unintentionally 🤣

I feel like I hardly see any love for either of these, and I ordered them on Mercari before BoB was announced DD. I love that it looks so much greener in person! I want to use it with Plankton ASAP but I just did my nails yesterday so need to wait 🤣

And honestly, no, I don't love it enough to get one. It's a bit more muted than I would like, so I used a creme base to try and brighten it up.
