MY FIRST POLISH MOUNTAIN SUMMIT 💅✨🏔️ After three days of painting intertwined with parenting, I finally reached the summit late last night. Thank you to @simplynailogical @holotaco for inspiring and encouraging this unhinged opposite of bare nails adventure and congratulations on your 10th anniversary climb! And also TY to all who cheered me on along the way, I couldn’t have this without youuuu! Lastly, I (only) took 558 photos/video clips documenting every step of the way so now to edit it all in to something still unknown that will be cohesive for viewing 🌈🫶🥹

Happy Birthday Stefanie! @polished_yogi 🦋 I hope your day is filled with beautiful manis and lots of love! And who would have thought that butterfly nails were so time consuming?! But in the end, totally worth it ✨

Searching your feed gave me endless options to create from and I’m so glad you did butterfly nails so I could try them too!

This was my first time painting butterfly wings and let me tell you, it was no joke. My eye may have been twitching by the end but I’m so happy with how these turned out. I had already been wearing a glow in the dark 🌮 and decided to use Stefanie’s love of shimmers to complete the base color. I was able to see improvement with each nail, and having started with my thumb I quickly realized that trusting the process would be required to get through this set. Now to stop staring at how gorgeous and glowy they are, and not cry when I take off my peelies 🥹

And I could not have made these without watching @brushedbyb_ ‘s tutorial on repeat for an hour 🧡👏

I saw @sunbeamnails wearing Deadly Nightshade by @mooncat, so I wore Deadly Nightshade by @mooncat

And to echo her thoughts, HOW have I not worn this before?? 🔥 If you have it, wear it, and if you don’t, get it. The shimmers are so fine and the shifties strongggg

Redid my builder gel late last night and then felt compelled to paint this after not being able to get it out of my brain all day. Alas, I am quite tired today but at least I have this polish to give me life ✨

Throwback to this pocketful of sunshine from the summer, in the short window directly following PBE and also directly before getting pneumonia ✨ Picked this one up in Tinley Park and it was the first polish I painted after coming home from the whirlwind that is the @polishandbeautyexpo

Monarch Butterfly by @luridlacquer with hand painted monarch butterfly nail art to match 🧡 Karen of Lurid makes polishes that stop me in my tracks and this stunning orange was no exception. See how she shiiiines in the second slide 🔥

Details: One Coat Black + Not Milky White by @holotaco
Nail art protection layer: @apipilacosmeticos
Top Coat: @crackedpolish

Soooo who’s going to PBE next summer?? 👀🙂

Soft Reset ✨@moodyhueslacquer is the palate cleanser for the thermals in the Rituals of Recovery collection. A perfect soft purple with pink shimmer that glows an unreal glow in the sunlight. I also did some layering with this one over The Walking Mile that I will post in the comments, and somehow it managed to be equally gorgeous 🤯🤯🤯

Available now + make sure to save with code WILD10 🫶

Can’t and will likely never get over this tri-thermal 😭 The Listening Hour @moodyhueslacquer ✨ I made the terrible choice of wearing this one first and it was all I could think about once I took it off meaning it’s def getting a rewear here soon. Final glamour shots of this light blue, to royal blue, to purple trithermal with a blue shimmer and purple and blue flakes. It represents the shifting hues seen sitting on the porch listening to the rain fall *gifted + paid pr but the love is my own*

Have you shopped @moodyhueslacquer yet? And if so what did you get?! 😍

Keep Calm & Carve 🎃🔪 @moodyhueslacquer *gifted + paid pr* Working my way through the individual swatches of this collection and this one is the perfect way to celebrate fall and all its glories. Warm orange to cool brown with studio to start and outdoor in the sun to end. And peep that transition in the last photo 👀✨

The Morning Mile 👀✨ @moodyhueslacquer ✨This gray-white ghostly thermal with reddish/orange shimmer and red/orange/gold flakes represents the sun rising through the fog on that early morning jog. Still wearing this one and am having an exceptionally difficult time coming to terms with removing it.. could watch that transition all day 😭 *gifted + paid pr*

Today is the day! @moodyhueslacquer launches and I’m so excited to continue showing off these unbelievable thermals ✨ *gifted + paid pr*

The Gentle Cup 🍵 is a green-colorless thermal with dark green mini flakes representing the warm cup of green tea used to help remind us that for a moment there’s nowhere else to be. Here in Michigan, it’s finally cold, rainy, and feeling like fall, so this seemed like the perfect polish to start with this morning. Shown first are outdoor sunlight + car light pics, because car light is best light, followed by studio glamour shots and transitions, ending with some macro closeups. I so hope you love them!

The formula is everything and while I already lean towards greens and blues, this colorway holds a special place in my heart because of @michiganstateu where all three of my siblings went to college and my sister played soccer (Go Green 💚 Go White 🤍) All Spartans should grab this and cherish it as the perfect MSU shade 👀

Available today at 6pm EST with the launch of the Rituals of Recovery collection + save 💸 with code WILD10 🫶

⏳ Rituals of Recovery ⏳ The premier collection by @moodyhueslacquer arrives tomorrow! Friday, October 16th 🍁

With five thermals and one soft shimmer, there is truly something for everyone and I refuse to pick a favorite, although I’m partial to the blue.. and the green.. and the gray?!.. and the purple! If you’re able to choose a favorite please tell me which you were able to land on so I can be impressed by you. These six polishes are inspired by traditions we use to help us remember to pause, and play 💅
