Once in a Blue Half Moon

I bought my first GOSH polish! I picked up a silver holo and one called Galaxy, an interesting bronzey sort of color. So I decided to do some nail art with it!


I started with a base of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Pacific Blue. Then I waited for that to dry before using some paper reinforcement stickers to block off the half moons at the top. I used a coat of GOSH Galaxy and sealed it all with Seche Vite.


This is better than my last attempt at a half moon mani, if I do say so myself. Practice makes perfect.





I think half moon manicures work well with little nubbin nails, so I'll keep that in mind next time mine break.

Day 8: Metallic

Day 8's theme is metallic! I decided to do a metallic dot gradient.


Oddly enough, all of the polishes I used for this mani are Sephora by OPI. I started with a base of Queen of Everything, which is one of my favorite polishes. I've put a pretty big dent in the bottle, so you can tell I really like it! It covers perfectly in just one coat.


Then I used a large dotting tool to add some dots of Rumba Romance, a metallic brown. I switched to a smaller dotting tool about a third of the way up my nails. I repeated the steps with Tempted by Teal. To seal it up, I used a coat of Seche Vite.



I liked this mani! Queen of Everything is just so lovely and perfect, and polka dots are always fun.

The next day's theme is rainbow!
