Swatch: Nubar Absolute

SPARKLY. It's also very, very sheer. This is about 5 coats, but it dried perfectly, no topcoat necessary and didn't even smudge when I dinged it more than once.

As you can see, it is very sparkly but there's definitely still VNL. I think for future endeavors, I'll be using this as a topcoat and since it is EXTREMELY sheer, it should work over all or most colours and that's alright with me. I have a blue holo already from bornprettystore so it's not terrible that this one isn't opaque. To be honest thing, in the sun, you can't see a damn thing for all that glitter.


I hope you didn't miss what I did with it on Tuesday ;D

Happy 400th post!

That's right! You guys have been listening to me for THAT LONG. How does it feel?

For me, it feels pretty cool to have been doing this for so long, and to have made the amazing friends I have through it. To celebrate, I did my nails (duh!). And speaking of Did My Nails, I was inspired by my latest package by that wonderful lady, Elizabeth at, you guessed it, Did My Nails :D

She sent me this super cool package full of candy and nail polish and POCHACCO. Oh my gawsh, I love this thing. I don't really have much to say except that I started with Nubar Absolute (which will be posted Thursday, since tomorrow is special ;D).

Anyway, I used acrylic paint to put on some details and took my new little buddy outside to get some sun.

I dinged little thumb-chacco and had to redo him. It's not terrible but I definitely wish I'd done him and Elizabeth more justice =3 I do hope you like it though. I used Essie Pure Pearlfection as topcoat and the pictures were all done with my bornprettystore.com paint brush set. That fan is really coming in handy this summer too!

I want to end this with a tribute to my friends, who I don't believe I could continue this hobby without.
