Hunting for peridot

NYX’s Hunter Green was begging for stamping with Chanel’s Peridot.

Vinyl and gold

NYX’s dark blue jelly Sepia is the base for an accent nail with anchor stamping with Barry M’s Gold Foil. On all other nails I dotted with NYX’s Vinyl Red.

NYX’s Sepia

NYX’s Sepia is a dark blue jelly. It needed three generous coats for opacity but was incredibly easy to apply.

Flushed to the extreme

Even though I enjoy wearing my cremes alone I usually end up creating some kind of nail art on top. This time there’s no nail art but a wonderful addition to NYX’s Extreme Purple is Cult Nails’ Flushed (the amount of pictures is directly proportional…).

Flushed is a lovely purple base with color shifting shimmer that has an incredible glow…

 

NYX’s Extreme Purple

NYX’s Extreme Purple is a heavily pigmented, medium purple creme. The formula is good; application is easy, it’s fully opaque at one generous coat and dries fast.

Boring.. prisms?

Essie’s Don’t Sweater It (some one please shoot me…) is a lovely greige creme that applies like a dream.  I wanted to make a discrete/toned down/pleasant to look at glitter gradient and chose NYX Girls’ Prismatic Gold that contains both golden micro glitter and larger prismatic hexagon glitter.

I have to say I’m not particularly fond of this manicure. I like glitter gradients and the colors themselves but together they kind of blend into a slush of… boring. That was not my intention 🙂

A glimpse of the universe

NYX Girls’ Frizzy Spots is a black jelly full of prismatic hexagon glitter in different sizes. It could propably be opaque on its own but I used HM’s Manhunter as a base and later for the tape manicure and lined the wedges with silver stripe tape.

It kinda looks like a glimpse of a distant galaxy. Warms my geeky heart 🙂

Blue perfection

Gina Tricot truly makes perfect cremes, they just do. This is Azure Blue that covered perfectly in two coats 🙂 I decided to make a glitter gradient with NYX Girls’ Turks and Caicos which is just perfect for it.
