Well, here goes the first attempt at posting nail photos...I'm on a one-day rotation right now (3 days, 3 manicures). Wouldn't have changed from last night, but I got this new glitter nail polish and I really wanted to try it. I'm into indie (short for independent) brands right now (i.e., they're not "mainstream" and usually home/hand mixed and produced) and, in particular, unusual glitters. I've got several glitters with hearts in them (black, red, or white); several with flowers, some with stars, some with moons, and I even have one with butterflies in it. However, recently round glitters have been popping up and I bought two a few weeks ago (they just arrived) with round glitters.
This one is called "Lady Bug" and it's by Darling Diva Polish. It's a red sheer base with black hexagons (small and medium size) and black circles. I really like the circles, even if they are a little big for my nail bed (meaning, they stick up on the sides just a little). Of course, it being called Lady Bug, I had to do nail art with a lady bug! Because the polish is sheer, it's painted over Rescue Beauty Lounge Chinoise, which is a lovely red creme to make it opaque (and not be able to see my nail line (also referred to as visible nail line (VNL)).
Base: Rescue Beauty Lounge Chinoise (2 coats)
Darling Diva Polish Lady Bug over RBL Chinoise and then my accent lady bug nail art. :)
You can click the photos to make them bigger. Lady Bug has such a sheer base, it's practically just a tinted base so it barely affects the color of Chinoise. The glitter took a little bit of fishing/placing because there wasn't a whole lot and the circles sunk really quickly, but it wasn't too bad. I've dealt with far worse before.
