Cremé and sugar?

Cremé and sugar?

Bought the Technicolor Dreams set during last lunar sale and then regretted it afterwards, as I am much more of a glitter sparkle holo multichrome all the things kind of person.

In my defense, I had spent the night before the sale looking at nail art, and for some reason at 7am the next morning, I imagined that I too would become someone who needs many creme shades at my disposal (when I have never done nail art before in my life).

Nonetheless, I've been determined to give the shades a fair shot, so today's mani was a skittle using five of the shades plus sugar and spice topper. Honestly, I found the formulas like melted butter: incredibly easy to spread, wow, except whoops, too easy and now my PNFs are flooded, argh. I don't think I have developed a newfound obsession, but opalescent flakies sure improved the situation.

Sun and moon(light lullaby)

Three day old manicure, using Mooncat Moonlight Lullaby for the first time. Just finished washing my car (with gloves on) and it's held up well! So far I like the shade. I don't think it's in my top 10 but it's still a good one. I like the high glitter factor especially in the sun; the glitter is also great for hiding the ridge across my middle finger I'm growing out after a bad bend. The glow in the dark quality is decent, but not ultra bright. Solid color and I will definitely use it again.

Look, I can't say why I think these colors belong together like this, but the vibes seem right.

Gradient skittle attempt

This subreddit has helped me to halt a lifelong compulsion to peel and pick at my nails, and instead try to keep them healthy and strong. It's still sometimes hard to resist, but I've only had about 2 relapses in the past year. Thank you all. Also I have no idea how you take such great photos of your hands. I bow down before you.
