Swipe for a high five!🐈

I’m enjoying using flakies as toppers, so much depth!! Do you have a fave flakie polish that you use as a topper?

Inspo? Dragon from Shrek! One of my favourite characters along with Puss in Boots!

Did you guys have a fave Shrek character?

I’m a bit behind in posting especially collabs, I’ve been travelling a lot in August but I’m happy to be back now 🫶

The prettiest blue 🪼🦋👀

I finally tried Cirque jellies!! I’m not sure if I got a weird bottle but the formula was a bit tricky to work with vs other Cirque jellies I tried. The result is beautiful though. It reminds me of sea glass 🐳

House of Hades 💙✨

After a busy summer, I’m happy to be back and excited to share more photos of this beautiful polish! Although the formula is tricky (see last post), the blue microflakies are undeniably glowy🤩

Last photo is ft the lovely @gems_polish wearing Taipan Venom ✨

Recognize this shade?🔥💙👀

As a blue lover, House of Hades is a new fav of mine 🤩 Have you tried it??

A note about the formula:
• Opacity in 3 coats on my nails
• HARD to work with 🥲 but stunning results

I was expecting HoH to be similar to Mooncat’s Spaceoddity formula but the formula was thick and every brush stroke picked up and moved the ultra fine flakies leaving bald spots on my nail. I think floating this shade and minimal brush strokes helped me get an even third coat.

Thank you to my bestie @gems_polish for letting me use her bottle 💙 I’m considering picking up one during the lunar sale bc I LOVE the colour 🤩

How do I show this polish accurately in a reasonable number of photos 🙈

I kept it on for over a week (which is rare hehe) and I took so many nice photos 🌿🐴🐈‍⬛

Safe to say I had fun wearing this solar (and I don’t even like purple polish!).

Also - don’t worry, the green hair “dye” in the photo is horse safe 💚

Swipe to see solar magic ☀️

Mooncat did not disappoint with this polish! It’s shimmery, it’s juicy, and the UV transition is amazing 😱

I was actually wearing this polish in the final days of writing my MSc thesis, and playing with the UV effect was such a great distraction ahaha!

Brilliant blue but kinda lacklustre flakies? 🦋🪻

Even if the flakies are hard to see, something about this specific blue speaks to me. I was sad to see it discontinued 😭

Does anyone have any cobalt blue polish recs? 👀

Have you tried Garden Party Taco yet?🌸👀

The flower glitters are perfect for spring and surprisingly easy to fish out of the bottle and place on the nail.

I’m kinda sad that my holo base was struggling to sparkle in this cloudy weather 😥
