American Classics Growth Spurt base coat, 1 coat
CrowsToes Nail Color Tell Me About It…STUD, 2 coats

You remember the scene that the CrowsToes Nail Color is based on, right? The scene were Sandy shows off her new look to Danny? Okay, anyway, I loved how this bright pinky tangerine matched up with the dark CrowsToes. It’s like the two parts of Sandy’s personality – dark and peppy put together.

August Polish Pickup Pack (please check out the FAQs if PPU is new to you) is fast coming up – August 3-6 and this month’s theme is “musicals”.

The maker describes this as a “saturated black jelly base with red shift shimmer and assorted coordinating micro glitters.” It will be available for $12, and there will be no cap.

This was such a fun mani! My husband doesn’t often understand my mis-matched manis but honestly, I don’t care. 😀 I mean, my socks don’t even usually match and it drives him crazy.

Aww, I love you too, KBShimmer! ❤ What, you don’t see a vague shape of a heart here? Don’t ask me how I accomplished that because I have no idea.
