Rectangular Glitter
Don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against rectangular glitter, but it does annoy me a bit. My nails are far too curve for this kind of glitter to adhere nicely to my nails, so it always ends up bumpy as hell!
But every so often, I decide to jump back into the ship and try it out.
Suffice to say, this design lasted a whole 10 min before I decided it was time to peel it off.
Geometric!
So here’s the thing. I was playing around with striping tape, and forgot that I was using a peel off base coat for a second when pulling off the tape. Thus, leaving me with a semi-peeled design. But no frets! Holo glitter fixes everything! It’s barely noticeable after the glitter is on.

“Just like fabric…”
There is a technique called “Dry Brushing” on which you take a nail polish brush, clean it as much as you can and then use whatever polish is left on the brush to create random strokes on your nails. This creates a “fabric” effect on your nails, and an effect that will never be able to be reproduced exactly as you did it that time. It’s unique!

Color Club “NailMoji”
I recently acquired these new Nail Emoji bottles from Color Club and they look so nice! I’ve yet to try all of them, but the bright orange over the darker orange combines really well. The emojis themselves are a little large and the polish is thicker (expected, for the larger glitters to stick) but the payoff is great.
Complicated Gradient? Nah…
I’d seen this kind of gradient before and hadn’t tried it myself. It’s so easy to make yet it takes a bit for the coats to fully dry before using the tiny, annoying 2mm tape that is sticky all over!
The contrast between the colors is fabulous and the effect is a little confusing until you look a little closer.
And of course… it’s always a little better if you add a little holo!
Can’t see the haters, blinded by the Holo!
