Magnetic and neon animal print with Tonic Polish and Fancy Gloss

Polishes used:
Tonic Polish Queen
Fancy Gloss Secret Garden

So this isn’t my best attempt at an animal print, but my husband and kids guessed zebra and tiger prints when I asked. I guess it’s not that bad, then?

Nail art with Fancy Gloss and Darling Diva Polish

Polishes used:
Darling Diva Polish Rey, 2 coats [previously swatched]
Fancy Gloss Mystery Box Prototype 2016, holographic purple with blue shift

I loosely based this nail art look on something I saw from koba_nails_studio on instagram. I started with Rey; painted the Fancy Gloss on a piece of saran wrap. Then using a stamper, I smooshed it on the polish, then kept smooshing it over itself until most of it was pulled up (I hope this makes sense, I’m writing this late at night!). Then I applied it to the nail. I’m thinking either the base color should have been either lighter or darker. It was hard to really see the beauty of the Fancy Gloss.

Girly Bits Cosmetics Dreaming Tree [press sample, previously swatched]
Fancy Gloss Secret Garden

I was taking photos today of my nails (as a blogger does) and looked down and saw how awesome my pedi looked so snapped a quick picture to share with you. If you hate feet, don’t click through to see them!

Fluid Marble Nail Art with Tonic Polish, Fancy Gloss, Femme Fatale Cosmetics

Polishes used:
Tonic Polish Blanche 2017 [previously swatched], 1 coat as a base
Fancy Gloss Sodalite, blue to clear thermal
Femme Fatale Cosmetics Cry of the Red Sky [Hella Holo Customs Exclusive January 2016]

So I saw this tutorial from ketonails that I tried out, but she hadn’t given it a name and I didn’t know what to call it. I asked in Hobby Polish Bloggers and I kind of liked brushed fluid nail art and fluid marble so I kind of combined the names. I have no idea if that’s what this technique is actually called but let’s go with it. This was so shifty and beautiful in person – I should have taken a video!

Fancy Gloss Sodalite + Shleee Polish Cosmological thermal and magnetic mani

Polishes used:
Fancy Gloss Sodalite, 3 coats
Shleee Polish Cosmological, 2 coats plus top coat

This was my first attempt at a thermal + magnetic manicure match up and it didn’t work (I actually did this one before the thermal/magnetic drag marble nail art or the thermal/magnetic gradient nail art). But it is totally still pretty!

Glitter gradient nail art with Fancy Gloss, CrowsToes Nail Color, Celestial Cosmetics

Polishes used:
Celestial Cosmetics Saphira, previously swatched
Fancy Gloss Twinkle Lights
CrowsToes Nail Color Her Goose Got Iced

This came out so sparkly and fun but I honestly like it with the matte top coat as well.

Marbled manicure with CrowsToes Nail Color and Fancy Gloss

Polishes used:
CrowsToes Nail Color Under Our Tree [previously swatched], as a base
CrowsToes Tequila Sunrise Sparked [prize]
Fancy Gloss dark grey mystery box prototype
KBShimmer Oh Matte! 1 coat

So after using Under Our Tree, and receiving Tequila Sunrise Sparked in the same mail, I decided it was just crying out for some nail art together. I settled on a marbled mani and I adore the results!

Here’s what Under Our Tree looks like alone. This is 2 coats plus matte top coat.

And now with the marbled look! This is using a tutorial from instagram that I’ve utilized before.
