Sharing my nail polish addiction journey, one color at a time.
White polish can be hit or miss when you have fair skin. This one called Bunny from Julep has a petite gold sparkle that can be seen in the bottle but not when it is applied to the nail. I always feel like I have “White-Out” on my nails. This nail polish is thick and…
So there is this Saran Wrap nail art tutorial where you put on a one color and let it dry and then put on another color and let it try a few seconds before tapping it with crumpled up piece of plastic wrap. The result is an awesome two tone mottled look, in theory; but…
