My Kind of Cool Aid

Finally laid my hands on this dusky gem from Cult Nails!

MY KIND OF COOL AID!

The pretty sparkle in the bottle doesn't translate so much to the nail.  

So I decided to kick that sparkle up a bit!  

After a generous coat of Cool Aid, I put on my Seche Vite.  

Then Sally Hansen's Diamond Strength "Diamonds" polish.  Lookit that shimmer!  

Isn't it purty?  I did this yesterday morning.  I should have used Seche Vite one more time -over the top of everything.  Because THIS morning I noticed SEVERAL chips!!!!!   No way!  Say it ain't so!   :p  

I can only hope another layer of SV would've averted the chippage.  

'Cuz chipping after 24 hours is just not right!

So cover-up dabs in place, I took to the deck for the photo um, shoot.  yeah. That's what I do, photo shoots, sure.  I do believe I ♥ this fabby drabby Cool Aid!  

Happy Father's Day!  Have a great week everyone!

Pinky Glitter French Mani

I've been having difficulties with my manis lately!  I don't think anything I put on there looks good!  I doubt I'm the first to whom this has happened. What cha gonna do?  So I finally settled on this one last night after running around with nakey nails for a week!

Put some Sinful's Easy Going on first.  Am kinda disappointed with how streaky it was/is.  Needed at least 2 coats, and some of the brush strokes still visible even after drying.  Not too fun!

Got outside to take pix during the "golden hour" or dusk.  On the tips I wanted a sparkly pink.  Sinful's Pinky Glitter fit the bill! 

It was honestly difficult to get a pic without a pock mark or stripey streak, even with the Seche Vite! 

But overall I do think it's kinda cute and better than au natural-with-nail-strengthener nails :)

Be well y'all!
