You all asked!!

I’ve shown both using and not using the velvet tool I think it’s a stronger pull using both but it works both ways! I’ve shown 3 total coats here over The Veil from @ethereallacquer from their recent launch, cover image being @hauntedpolish from their June Collection!

Magnetic tool linked in my bio!

As always, over my clear gelx extensions with no blurring base coat

Preserve are the five latest shades @oliveave_polish has created to carry you through late fall and early winter🍁🍂

Garnet is a metallic red that glows like a gemstone or like a satin ribbon

Jam described as a deep burgundy red cream, rich and a little complex, like the best jar pulled from the back of the shelf

Hayride described as a light caramel cream that feels like the best part of fall distilled into a single color

Forge described as a warm copper metallic with the kind of glow that doesn’t fade

Burrow described as a warm brown scattered holographic cream

I’ll never get over how beautiful the formulas are from @oliveave_polish

I’m wearing these in 1-2 coats over clear gelx extensions with no blurring base coat
