Top: OPI Can’t Find My Czechbook + Hit Polish Marigold

Bottom: UP Colors Azul Arco-Iris. I was rather disappointed in this one ‘cos it didn’t look like the icy blue picture on the site I bought it from. Oh well.

Here’s a vintage L’Oreal called Grassroots. it’s very sheer, so I’ve layered it over OPI Don’t Pretzel My Buttons. (I feel like too much of the nude base is still discernible, but was afraid it wouldn’t dry with any more coats.) In person, there’s a bit of a porcelain glaze effect going on that I quite like.

This is two coats of Avon Cotton Candy and one of Hare Polish Rad Cloud. The latter applied really, really well for an indie that’s chock full of glitter! It wore nicely, too. (This is after several days, hence the new growth.)

The plaid nails are Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Checker Out, which came out last spring. My ring finger first has a couple coats of Sally Hansen Limestone, and then I glued a strawberry on it. I must say I love this very much. It was my first experience with gluing a 3d object onto my nail, but it hasn’t been a hassle at all.

China Glaze Strap on Your Moonboots. With and without flash. It’s not much holo-wise, but I did discover it stamps fairly well so I might use it again in that capacity.
