Hypnotic Swirls Pedicure with Tonic Polish Glowy Joey and Passion Fruit

Polishes used:
Tonic Polish Glowy Joey, 2 coats as a base
Tonic Polish Passion Fruit

Hey everyone, it’s been a very stressful week. My external hard drive literally crashed – or rather, was crashed by one of my toddlers; I bought a new one but I don’t know how/can’t figure out to transfer information from the crashed one to the new one; next week is the last week of school; and a family member is missing. I haven’t been sleeping or eating. Oh, did I mention that because of the hard drive crash, all my files and pictures of nail swatches and nail art – are just gone? Yeah. I kind of want to cry.

At any rate, I’ve been changing my nails almost daily because it helps with the stress, even if I really like my nails. One thing that I haven’t done is re-do my pedicure. I’m hiding it after the jump if you don’t like feet.

Funny story, I was trying to take pictures of this manicure in the sunlight and my cat would not move her butt out of the way – so yup, there’s a cat paw in the next picture. 😛 Also, this is back in March when Montana winter was wreaking havoc on my nails and I couldn’t grow them out worth s***!

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!

I can’t remember what group it was but someone asked for a comparison of these two polishes. Since I happened to have the both of them, I polished one hand with Apophis and one hand with Mirabilis. In this photo above, Apophis is the top hand, and Mirabilis the bottom.
