Mani Monday!

Hello again! Hope you guys had a great weekend. I've been itching to do some nail art lately so I decided to do some striped accent nails. I used Black Creme by wet n wild Wild Shine for the black stripes and piCture pOlish's Vampire as the base. To do the gold stripe I just mixed some gold glitter from the craft store into a bit of clear polish. I cut some scotch tape into really thin strips and used a thin nail art brush to paint the black and gold on. Not the neatest job but I'm happy with it!

piCture pOlish- Vampire

Good afternoon! Today I swatched an indie polish- it's been a while since I last swatched an indie. I love piCture pOlish. Their bottles are adorable! Anywho, Vampire is a deep blood red (almost a bit purple-y) jelly polish. The formula is a slight bit thicker and applied kind of patchy. You would need 3-4 coats to get it opaque and even, but the color makes all work worth it! The photos show 3 coats without top coat.

Zoya- Veruschka

Hi! This week's polish is Zoya's Veruschka. I've been wanting this polish for ages! When Zoya announced that they were re-releasing some of their MatteVelvet polishes, I ordered Veruschka immediately. Now that the weather is starting to really feel like fall, I decided to try it out. Oh my goodness, this polish is gorgeous! I've always thought of matte polishes as dull and wasn't into them. This polish proved me wrong, it is anything but. It's a deep evergreen (almost emerald) with lighter green shimmer. Application was easy, the formula was smooth and not too runny. The photos show two coats without topcoat (But it looks just as amazing with topcoat).
