This is a pretty purple. Nice and duochromey. Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty
Here is some more marble practice. This one is done with a toothpick and dropping polish on my nails and swirling it around I tried watermarble but it turned out well only on my ring finger. Will keep trying though. Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty
DS-Tapestry This one is quite stunning. Opaque in one coat but this is two. Dries fast and application is great. I'm just a messy polisher. The holo on this polish is so pretty, but it looks best in the sunlight. Indoors it is quite muted. Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty…
Borghese - Stellare Notre Here is some amazing polish. It is duochromey. How fun. Purples, Greens, Blues, dark and vampy. All depending on your angles or the sun. This is a fun polish. Sorry for the state of my nails. This is a NOTD and I wore this for about two days already. Hope …
Zoya Gloria. This is 3 coats. It's a really shimmery almost metallic reddish/ pinkish polish. It is really pretty, this zoya gloria is. Application is good, not to thick or gloopy. The drying time is good as well. Add caption Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty
Wet N Wild - Rockin Rubies Here is 3 coats of glitter. NOTD. Some fun red in my life. This is a topcoat eater, however. How sad. I think I still like it though. Red looks well on me. I think I am becoming more and more a fan of red. Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty
NYX - Paradise Nude Nothing nude about this one. This is a bright hot pink. I love it. Application was normal. This is 3 coats of yumm yumm pink. It has a slight VNL but not so bad at 3 coats. Ok! Happy polishing you polishers out there. Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty…
Ok here is my try at metallic polish. Nabi- Magnetic Polish The formula is pretty thick and goopy. However it dries fast. I'm not sure how to do it at first. My left hand did not turn out well. I think I got the hang of it on my right hand better. It's a fun polish look. Hope…
This is NYX girls Shocking Purple . Layered with NYX girls fizzy spots . Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty
Here is what I'm wearing right now. Nails but better. I love this being 'boring' sometimes. This is 3 thin coats of eyeko -petite polish Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty
Here is some more watermarble. I think I'm slowly getting the hang of it. My right hand came out better except for a water bubble! I used American Apparel: Office and Essie: Flawless . They seem to be good watermarble polishes. Very pigmented and easy to man…
American Apparel - Office. The application is nice for a pastel. This is a nice spring mint color! This can be opaque at one coat but this is 2 coats. 3 coats on my ring finger because I dinged it! oops. I love it. Shiny with topcoat. Hope you are doing well! Love Pretty
Here is some watermarbling trys. The left side is always much better. It was hot today so the right hand dried all funny with bubbles. Oh well. I still like it. Will clean it up, later. I think I shall keep this mani. It was a fun effort! I used American Apparel-Hunter, Essie- Flawless a…
