Here's a mani I'm proud of... I mean, I'm mostly proud of my work, but this one I liked better... :)
I used Nordic Cap of Sweden 21 for my base. It is, to me, a Smurf Blue! Totally... It has a hidden shimmer in it and the formula is easy to manage. Two coats was all it needed... :)
For my accent nail, I used Bonita glitter... It looks gorgeous in the bottle, a glitter bomb with holographic shimmer... :) But it is sheer, really sheer. I have 4 coats on to give enough coverage. Thank God that it dries quickly...
Annnnnd, to finish it up, I stamped with Mash 40 and then with a dotting tool, I added the blue spots...
This is the result I'm proud of... I looked at my nails all day... :)
Look at the shimmer!!!!

Color Club - Angel Kiss
Here's a quick mani I did using my Color Club Angel Kiss holo polish!
I used one thick coat of Angel Kiss. It is soooo pigmented that one coat was enough!
I stamped the images from Cheeky Jumbo C plate using Wet'nWild Black, which surprisingly stamped perfect! And guess what, it is easy to clean up... :)
BTW, it is totally surprising how a polish can change from regular to awsome with flash! Daylight pictures are soooo boring but flash pictures are.... Speechless.... :)

A-England Lady of the Lake
I really should dive into my untrieds pile more often...
This baby, A-England Lady of the Lake was sitting in my untrieds drawer for almost a year. Don't ask me why, because I have no answer... I just didn't have time to try it on...
What a shame!!!!
Anyway, this is two coats of LOTL with no top coat... All pictures taken under sun... :)
I love the scattered holo effect! I love holos!!!! :)

Golden Rose Holiday Textures 65
I couldn't stay away from Golden Rose textures... :) First I went and completed the glitter textures collection. I mean the ones from 51 through 60... All 10 of them....
And while I was there, I gave a chance to the regular textured ones... Well, two of them to be exact. 61, the deep blue and 65, the gorgeous pink!
Well, today I was in a playful mode so I decided trying 65 first.
For starters, 65 is a really pigmented polish. It is totally opaque in one coat. I thought of painting a second coat but the application was flawless, so I skipped it. (I may have used a thick coat, lol) Oh, and I had my usual basecoat under it.
Surprisingly, Golden Rose textures dry really quick. I mean, quicker than Zoya Pixie Dusts. But I waited a few minutes more before stamping on them...
As you can see, the finish is matte, no glitters, no shine. Regular texture... But it somehow looks cute... Too cute... Oh, and maybe it is the one coat I use, but it doesn't feel too gritty... It doesn't cling to hair or clothes...
So, as cute as it already is, I decided to make it even cuter by adding polkadots... Why? Because polkadots make everything cuter, right?
I should mention here that stamping on textured polish is definetly easy! I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On and Konad m70 plate.
So, what do you think? Great isn't it? I LOOOOVEEEE TEXTURES!!!!!
UPDATE : The removal was easy peasy. Just like regular polish, it came off quickly. I think it is because it doesn't have glitter... :)
