I think this pink is very flattering on me. I wish I would have gotten a backup! Willing to entertain a trade ✨💕🥪

Base Coat Mysteries

I’ve recently posted in a separate thread my current base coat woes. I’ve tried several formulas from several brands and my nail polish seems to want to peel right off, even with proper prep.
I tried sticky base this week and I got peeling on several fingers at day 2. That night, I soaked off the remaining mani, and put on Peely Base with 2 coats of Ride or Diamond just needing it to last 24 hours. We are now at 2 full days….no peeling. Nothing. All fingers intact. 🤔 How that work? 🫠

my new favorite neutral 🕊️

I was nottt expecting to love Oat Couture so much when I tossed it into my last order. Now it’s my new favorite neutral! It’s hard to find nudes that are cool toned enough for my skin tone, and this one hits the target. Picture 1 is direct sunlight, picture 2 is more indirect.

New shades comparison

I’m looking at current polishes I have to see how close I can get to the new pink and berry.
I’ve layered
What do you pink
High tea hibiscus
Magenta Jelly
Used
Glossed and found/ another random watermelon jelly and another pink shimmer topper.
And over each scattered holo taco ( I probably should have used linear instead).
Are any of these close ?

New collection thoughts?

Honestly this collection doesn’t really match the theme and the colors don’t feel that unique or bright. I feel like the teal in this collection feels very meh, only because there was a teal in the royalty collection, and teal teal teal feels too much. The only one I’ll pick up is acid drip. What are your feelings about this collection?

No Opalogies 🪻

I normally capture polishes in direct sunlight, but imo, this polish truly shines in the shade. You can see the beauty of all the iridescent flakies this way. Definitely my favorite of the royalty collection!

Pack a sandwich for the pool.

I'm in week two of playing with the jellies, and they're pretty solid. I have changed my application technique to deal with the gloppy nature of the jellies, but I'm going to try thinning them when I have space in the bottle. ​

I forgot to do a jelly sandwich last week. Sad, because this is awfully fun! I'm not sure I can explain how this polish glows IRL. People who don't normally check out my nails have been stopping me this week to get a good look because they're so eye-catching.

If anyone missed out on Sparkly Sh*t, Lurid has a very similar polish for HHC this month called Sister Bear!

Hopefully this is allowed here! It’s not an exact dupe but this polish, Sister Bear by Lurid Lacquer, reminded me of Sparkly Sh*t (and a little bit of No Smoking) so I thought I’d share — esp with how fast SS went during the sale. It’s featured in this month’s Hella Handmade Creations line up which closes on the 21st.

Editing to add: it is a reflective polish so, different texture for sure, but nothing a good glossy taco can’t even out!

Teal Me

The teal vibe pulled me in!
Pointer finger: Bring Me the Teal
Ring and Thumb: Lost in the Woods
Middle and pinky: Venetian Views

I must say…Venetian Views, the crushed holo finish has a choke hold on me. So gorgeous!
