No more nail stickers….at least this week anyway.
Copied the design from some more cheap but cute nails stickers.
To begin:
gelish – “Pink Smoothie”
China Glaze – “For Audrey”
Sinful Colors – “Black on Black”
Completed:
so…. I envisioned this looking so much better. I actually really just used way too many colors so it just didn’t work. At all.
Will have to re-do with WAYYYYY less colors. LOL

This was a complete accident, albeit a pretty one.
I was testing out a nail decal method and folded the paper in half because I wanted to start over. But when I saw the effect on the paper, I immediately had to try it on my nail. So I smashed the paper onto my nail bed, andā¦..
ā¦loved it! Now I wish I had done this with no-chip polish. ![]()
It was simple too. Just messy, lol. Just like a water marble.

I hate the formulation of āWhite Outā.Ā Itās horrible and it takes FOREVER to dry.Ā āWhite on WhiteāĀ is SO much better. Can someone explain to me why the company messed up the one polish??Ā SMH.
And I got a little topcoat careless and streaked some of my precious dots on my pinky fingernail.Ā GOTTA pay better attention. ![]()
I was perusing some YouTube videosā¦. with no expectation.Ā Saw this video for a striped gradient by xoJahtna. I got inspired.
Iām pleased.

Top Coat Update!
Sooooooo, Iām going to just accept my impatience!Ā I truly attempted to maintain the same manicure until my polish chipped.Ā It didnāt work.Ā *shrugs*Ā The picture below is after 4 1/2 days of wear, using Seche Ultra V āUV top coat.Ā Ā No chips.
There is a tiny bit of tip wear, probably caused more by my trying to peel off the polish from the cuticle side of my nails than by actual wear from the normal and everyday activity of an average polish wearer.Ā They maintained the greatest sleek āgel nailā feel the entire wear time.Ā Ā The shine could have been freshened a bit, but you can see in the photo, it still exists.

I am now a believer.Ā The Seche Ultra-V top coat (after UV curing) is exceptional.Ā I love the ācompletely hardened and dry after 3 minutesā quality.Ā This goes wonderfully with my impatient nature.Ā LOL.Ā I can do my nails and then get up and do whatever else I want to do.Ā Ā The smooth gel feel is also just amazing.Ā I sincerely canāt stop playing with my nails.Ā And who doesnāt want an extra layer of gleaming, shiny protection over their natural nail?Ā
This top coat is a win!
