The Polished Pipette

This is my favorite mani I've done in a while! It's simple but not boring. I am in love with Julep's "Jaydra" it's described as a sheer rose holographic. I wouldn't necessarily call it sheer though. This is two coats, and it's opaque, except in the harshest of light. The holo is subtle, and hard to capture in pics, but when you see it in person, it's gorgeous, the particles are really fine. I followed two coats of this baby up by using a dotting tool to add a dot of Julep's "Daylee"on each nail near the cuticle line. Daylee is a warm gold, but it's almost a duochrome, it has a bottle green shift in some lights. Overall, I'm loving this paint job, it feels feminine and Springy, but kind of a modern take on pink nails.

What better way to combat winter blues than glitter? I was really feeling a moody berry nail, so I started with two coats of OPI's Malaga Wine, which is a rich wine/berry creme, that I often wear on its own. But this time, it fell a little flat. I'd been wanting to try the broken glass/flaky holo look, so I layered one coat of China Glaze "Luxe and Lush" over top. Shit yeah! That was the ticket! Finished off with a glossy top coat.
