I am slowly catching up with the linkups I participate in! I missed out on the gold prompt from a couple of weeks ago but since I had a few gold polishes I neglect otherwise I wanted to jump in, even if my submission was really, really late!

I feel bad for my textured polishes. I only ever use them for challenge prompts. I love other 3D nail art (cough, sugar-spun, cough) but I can’t handle good old textured polishes. I guess there is something about the type of texture? Maybe it is too gritty.

I could go on and on about my quirks but let’s get on with the nail art! I like how this came out: simple, fast and RA-friendly…Perfect during this time of stress and fatigue!

But what about you…Do you have any of these eccentricities? Do you like ketchup but not tomatoes? Comment below!

 

Gold Glitter Nail Art | The Rite of AgingI used Julie G Gift of Gold as a base on my middle and ring finger. I used to coats of Barry M Mustard on the index and pinky finger.

I used a makeup sponge and KBShimmer Sand in My Stocking on the tips.

Quick post today because I am all sorts of exhausted.

 

Neon Dotticure | The Rite of AgingI used KBShimmer Mixed Peelings as my base.

I dotted with Zoya Pippa and American Apparel Parakeet. I used the latter for the accent nail as well.

After I fell out of love with glitters last month they began collecting dust at the back of my shelves. I felt bad for them, especially my new KBShimmer “Sand in My Stocking”. I lusted after this polish for months and months and finally purchased it when I bought a cuticle oil pen from the website.

I started a love affair with Pahlish nail polishes and purchased a whole lot of them from Llarowe during the massive New Year’s sale! I did not even think twice about adding them to my cart when I saw how discounted they were. As much as I love all the colors I had I rarely used them in nail art! For some reason, I could not figure out how to use them….until today.

I decided to bite the bullet and go full on glitter. It almost overloaded my nails. I guess after such a long dry spell there was no such thing as moderation!

I am actually quite fond of today’s nail art. I was slightly worried it would get too busy but, I think it came out quite nicely! The colors worked together well! I hope you like it, too!

DSCF4119_fotorI started with 2 coats of Pahlish Fevers and Mirrors as my base.

I applied KBShimmer Sand in My Stocking on my thumbs, middle and ring fingers.

I used a makeup sponge, Pahlish Fever and Mirrors and Reinette for the gradient. I alternated Sephora by OPI Cover me in Petals and Fever and Mirrors to brighten the color. When I was finished I applied a dab of Sephora by OPI Be-Claus I Said So at the tips.
