𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶...𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝘀?

I tried to put this up last week, but per usual…it didn’t load. So I’ll be doing a new manicure this week that you can all vote on.

This is all @lightslacquer. Shades used

💅🏾 Anti Hero (deep black green, cream finish)

💅🏾 Are mermaids not sweet? (ltd. edition. green blue with golden shift and holo glitter)

💅🏾 Canoli (sold out. cool toned ivory, cream finish)

I do try to not use shades that are limited or sold out, but my lights collection is large. If I can find a close shade I will try to mention them going forward.

One of the reasons I like these polishes is the formula. I will say the brush on Canoli left it streaky, so I had to ‘float’ the polish a little more (meaning didn’t press the brush all the way on the nail) to get it to level better. I used the So Clingy base and Totally Gelly top coat.

DISCLAIMER: I am not compensated for my views unless noted. All polishes have been purchased by me.

... Read moreIf you're looking to elevate your manicure game, it's vital to understand the features of different nail polish formulas. Lights Lacquer is renowned for its rich pigmentation and durability, making it a favorite among nail enthusiasts. The Anti Hero shade, a deep black green, is perfect for those wanting a bold yet chic look. Meanwhile, Are Mermaids Not Sweet? captures the magic of shimmering greens and blues, adding an ethereal touch to your nails. When selecting a nail polish, consider not only the color but also the consistency and finishing agent used. For instance, using a high-quality base coat, like So Clingy, can significantly enhance the polish's adherence and longevity, providing a flawless finish. Similarly, a top coat like Totally Gelly adds that extra gloss, ensuring your manicure stays vibrant and chip-free for days. Don't hesitate to experiment with less common shades, as they can often lead to stunning, unique looks. For those new to do-it-yourself manicures, starting with staple colors like cool-toned ivories or deep greens can help build your collection. Additionally, investigating popular trends and colors on platforms like TikTok or Instagram can provide inspiration and guidance on current favorite looks. Remember, nail art is a fantastic way to express your personality, so don’t shy away from trying something new and fun!

Clean girl mani essentials
This is for my glam girlies who are focused on nontox/lowtox living. Why wouldn’t you want to be cautious about the things that come in contact with your hands. Hands come in contact with your mouth, eyes and nose. So the cleaner the better, right?! I recommend Poofy Organics nail products.
