Hi there!
I decided to dedicate tonight to painting my nails - had one helluva busy week so I just chilled today (even though I should've been doing work).
I bought a bottle of Ulta3 Crystallina the other day and it's a pretty shimmery white that shines golden orange. I thought it was a pretty colour and decided to do some layering and I ended up with the prettiest subtle glistening of the different particles on my nails. I had put a layer of blue-pinkish glass flecks over Crystallina and then a fine holographic glitter polish over and I thought it was stunning. The pictures I took show them no justice! To top things off, I painted on some black detailing (not quite lace) that kind of resembles a chandelier design and added a small rhinestone on them. I think they are perfect for wedding nails :)
Close up of the glitters. You can't see them all except for the holographic glitter since it is quite dominant. The hint of pink/purple is the glass fleck polish and the subtle golden sheen is from the base polish.
Don't mind my cuticles, I know some of them are a bit terrible - I forgot to apply some oil over them. I think I spent a good hour just painting on the black details. Surprisingly enough, my left hand painted on the details in just about the same amount of time as my dominant hand (woo, getting better hehe).
What's your verdict on these? Let me know below!
