Wet n Wild Rustic Color Block

Hey everyone!

It's been a while.... I am going to sound like a broken record but I cannot believe how crazy busy life is these days.

The mani I'm going to show you today, I wasn't really too excited about it. I painted a base of Wet n Wild Ebony Hate Chris and layered Wet n Wild Rustic over it. I don't like how I can see black edges under Rustic.

I really wanted try my hand at a color block design. I think I may have to retry.

The colors I used are:
Wet n Wild Craze Rustic
Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris
Wet n Wild Ocean Grotto
No name pink foil

Because of being somewhat disappointed with this. I tried to save it by adding glitter, haha. I added Laquerlicious Mocha Sprinkles.

What do you think? Does the glitter make it ok or was it too much? I thought the colors went really well together!

Fresh Paint Nebula with Laquerlicous Mocha Sprinkles

Hi folks!!

In my last post I showed you an indie polish by Polished by KPT. Today I have another indie polish that I had been eyeing for a while by Laquerlicious. This one is called Mocha Sprinkles. First of all, love the name. It is very evocative of all that is good about cold weather...basically warm, sweet drinks. I'm also a sucker for multi-colored glitter polishes so I was irresistibly drawn to it.

It's a dense glitter mix of metallic glitters in caramel, brown, pink, magenta and teal. There are a variety of sizes and shapes including round glitter. I did not have any trouble working with this polish. They were all well suspended in the base and spread evenly on the nail. I used one coat for this mani.

For the base, I used a polish that actually quite stunned me with how beautiful it is for how inexpensive it is. This is Fresh Paint Nebula, a brand found at Five Below stores. It had a blackened burgundy base with deep berry shimmer with particles large enough to be almost foil like. It made me very happy to wear it. This is only two coats. In certain lights, it had a brownish tone to it, which I thought made it very appropriate for Mocha Sprinkles.
