Layering: Pure Ice Purple Haze & Playful Purple

Pure Ice Purple Haze over Playful Purple

Pure Ice Playful Purple with Purple Haze

Polishes Used:

1 Coat Beauty Secrets Ridge Filler
3 Coats Pure Ice Playful Purple
3 Coats Pure Ice Purple Haze*
1 Coat Seche Vite

So far... I'm really loving this particular layering best out of all the New Year New Hue shades I've tried. It's not just because of how gorgeous this purple sparkling mani turned out... have you seen the way Purple Haze sparkles in my photos? I mean, isn't that reason enough to swoon?!?

Playful Purple was the ideal way to layer Purple Haze. The two were so well matched, that Purple Haze almost appears to be an opalescent topper in a clear base. Allllllmost. The sheer lavender jelly base makes the pink, blue, and purple flashing tones of the glitter really pop. These two polishes were just made to be worn together!

SinfulColors Mauve On Seriotype

Whether you call it a seriotype or smooshy... (I prefer seriotype) there is just something about this style of manicure that I can't get enough of.

It's been a little while, hasn't it? Sorry about that. Life happens, you know? Oddly enough, I didn't stop painting my nails during my hiatus. I kept taking pictures for a while, and then that just sort of stopped to. Weird how some habits die hard, while others don't change a bit. Anyhoo... I found pictures of this mani in my files and couldn't believe I didn't share it! This was one of my favorite polishes last spring, and I recreated this exact seriotype/ a few times. This mani started out with 3 fresh coats of Mauve On. I typically wrap my tips on the 2nd c

Fishbowl Friday 073 // Recreation

Every now and then, I enjoy looking back over past manicures. Creatively, it's just neat to see how far I've come since the days I started. Oddly enough, when I chose this prompt, I knew exactly which manicure I wanted to recreate. Based loosely on Fishbowl Friday 027 , today's seriotype nails are a RECREATION ...

One of the things that took me a while to master was the balance of nail polish finishes. While seriotypes made exclusively with creme polishes look cool, those made with a combination of different finishes really pop. There's more depth involved when you layer a metallic over a jelly neon and

Fishbowl Friday 072 // Hard Candy

We're going to skip that whole part where we talk about how it's been a while, because well, it's been a really long while. I'm still trying to work out how to make room for blogging and juggle everything else, and it's definitely been a challenge. But know that I am working on it, and I do really, really miss it. This place has been my Quantum of Solace for a long time, and I'm not planning on letting it go anytime soon. That being said... for this week's prompt, I was happily surprised when I pulled HARD CANDY . This is probably one of the most iconic brands of nail polish, and it's certainly gone through it's own number of changes throughout the years. Who didn't want to own a bottle of Sky once they saw it on Alicia Silverstone's nails way back in the 90's? Last year, Hard Candy celebrated their 20th anniversary by bringing back some of their most iconic shades. The collection was a mix of five original shades and three new ones.
