Polishes used:
Bee’s Knees Lacquer Cat Island, 3 coats plus top coat. This had a really great application and formula. I like their long, flat brush too. The magnetic effect was more subtle than I liked, but it’s still beautiful.
Bad Bitch Polish November Dusk, 3 coats plus top coat. Beautiful formula, as per usual for BBP. Man, I miss them!
China Glaze Liquid Leather, 1 coat
I have such a backlog of nail art to show you right now. I’ve been changing my nails every day or every other day because I’ve been going through some pretty bad anxiety. Sometimes doing my nails and the ritual of it helps calm it a bit. There’s just something so soothing about taking off polish, and filing my nails, and then applying new polish.
Anyway, I’m trying out a new pose, so you’ll start to see that interspersed on the blog from here on out. For this mani, I’ve used a version of this tutorial from kombucha_witch_. I went dark with the background because I thought Cat Island would show up really nicely – and it did!

I totally get polishing as a calming ritual.
It just feels so soothing, you know? 💖
You’re killing me with all the awesome nail art. I also use polishing my nails as a way to relax and take my mind off things and it’s nice to find something like that for yourself. I also have a lot of backlogged manis…and my swatch drawer is full again. I am in trouble.
Thanks! I have so many polishes laying around, it isn’t funny. I really need to sit and swatch but I’ve been lazy.
