Matte sweater manicure with Zoya Polish Joni, Stella Chroma I Suspect Nargles

Polishes used:
Zoya Polish Joni, 3 thin coats
Stella Chroma I Suspect Nargles, 3 thin coats (February 2019 Polish Pickup Pack)

This is a manicure from a long while back (hi, I’ve taken two weeks off from blogging, I’m behind). These two polishes worked just so right together, and the design worked beautifully on my (then) shorties.

I’m trying so hard to get photos edited and posts written and I should have another post for you this week with more Sally Hansen products – and a post featuring POC/WOC blogger Melissa Lopez. Please check back soon!

Products used:
1 coat of base coat
Tonic Polish Becoming, 3 thin coats

I remember using this polish as part of a past manicure, but I never used it on its own. Oh yeah…it was this swirled magnetic manicure!

It’s quite the catching manicure, isn’t it?

It’s almost the end of April, school is going to be wrapping up soon and I’m not ready! Don’t get me wrong, I love summertime but at the same time I’m not a fan. Kids expect project after project and it’s freaking wearing on the soul.

Okay, I know I said it was Sally Hansen week, but this is my current manicure and I’m totally in love with how it turned out and had to share it right away. I’ve been obsessed by how string painting is done and wondered if it could be done on nails, and if so, how! If you haven’t seen a video of string painting, check that out first and come back.

Polishes used:
Colors by Llarowe How About a Brownie Dogg [February 2019 Polish Pickup Pack], 2 coats

Holy Hera, this polish! ❤ So freaking gorgeous. I know quite a few people who say that this is a One-Coat Wonder (OCW) for them, but I had a few patches on the first coat, so I guess I just got in a hurry.

Another manicure that’s a few months old – oh well, it isn’t like my nails have grown at all lately and there’s a huge difference in my pictures. <_< At least there’s pretty nail polish to distract me. 😛
