Orly Flawless Flush

Polishes Used:

1 Coat Beauty Secrets Ridge Filler
3 Coats Orly Flawless Flush
1 Coat Color Club Top Coat
1 Coat Seche Vite

...and I'm back to the pastels! :)

When I picked up Naked Canvas from the Orly Blush 2014 collection at Sally, I also picked up Flawless Flush. It's another one of those had to have it once I saw it swatched polishes. They get me almost every time!

Flawless Flush is a pink-leaning lilac shade with superfine gold shimmer. The more I look at it, the more I see Radiant Orchid with a case of pastelitis! It's a great shade for Spring, and I don't think the Radiant Orchid connection will date it too much in the future. I could easily see wearing this again.

Application was good... I probably could've gotten away with 2 coats, but a few nails had slight streaks, so I painted a 3rd coat on all of them for good measure. All in all, I really like the way this polish looks... although I think if it were just a smidge jellyish, the finish would really lend itself well to the color profile. But, you know, that's probably just me. I'm on a mission to jellify and glitter all the things. :)

Would you wear Flawless Flush?

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...

Looking back, I can honestly say that my seriotype game has come far since I first learned the method. 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 then add in some shimmer and glitter.

I'm never one to pass up a pink polish and if the name of this doesn't say it all, the color definitely does! This is quite possibly the most perfect shade of light pink I've come across. And you all know how I love the color pink! <3

In case you missed my review of First Kiss, daniPro polishes were created by Manhattan Podiatrist Dr. Gary Evans. The formula is 5-free and the polishes are recognized by the American Podiatric Medical Association to promote good foot health.

Forever Pink is more of a crelly polish, so I had to use 5 coats to build up to the opacity you see in the pictures. Because of the sheer formula, it was a little patchy until about the 4th coat. But once this polish is opaque, it's a really gorgeous shade of pink and the crelly finish really made it shine. I've been into lighter shades on my toes lately…

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.

Hey there! 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 coat and add a 3rd for balance. Next, I ad…
