9 Days of Shimmer - Day 6, Airriann & Polka Dots

9 Days of Shimmer - Day 6

When I first saw this polish in the bottle, I thought 'yeah, pretty I guess,' and that was it- I wasn't blown away. BUT. I was totally wrong to be 'meh'- how awesome is this glitterbomb?! I had no idea what to wear as underwear for it, so I thought I'd stick with something totally neutral so all the different colours would stand out. Cult Nails Mazo is a lovely nude colour with a hint of gold shimmer, which suited it perfectly. I wouldn't even know what colour category to put Airriann in- brown? Gold? It's completely multi-coloured. Look at the close up bottle shot in the picture below- epic glitter going on right there. Hexes, squares, iridescent, red, blue, gold, orange, green- this polish is sheer art.  

Sorry about the copious picture spam there, I'm just in love with this polish. Every angle makes it look a different colour. I wasn't sure if I wanted to even add anything to it, I felt like I was wearing jewellery on my nails! But I got out my dotting tool and added a few pretty little polkas in H&M's Golden Treasure, which really brought out the gold.

Thanks for reading!

Coffee Neons

Aloha!

Continuing my neon frenzy, I've got a very bright french manicure to show you today! I've just cut all my nails down as I had a few peelies (after a week of not bothering with maintenance) so am currently looking at my lovely long talons in these pics and quietly weeping over my nubbins!

What I used:

base - Sally Hansen Iced Coffee
thumb - H&M
index- Color Club Jackie Oh!
middle - China Glaze Kiwi Cool-Ada
ring - China Glaze Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
pinky -  Barry M Blue

I love the combination of the simple nude polish and the bright tips- Jackie Oh! proved to be an absolute bitch to photograph though, neons can be so temperamental. It looks quite red but in reality it was hardcore pink.

I briefly did a similar manicure with pastel tips, but it only lasted a few hours as I did someone else's nails and they got wrecked. Once I grow out my nubbins it's first on my list!

Love,
