Happy Hump Day! I get part of the day off today so I'm looking forward to spending some alone time with LO. I haven't had much time with her alone while the parents were visiting so this will be a nice opportunity to hang out with her. She's grown so much in the past few months, from barely crawling to now standing up on her own. Time flies so quickly!
I managed to score a couple Takko Lacquers during the last restock and I'm excited to share them with you today. The first is Nirvana, a teal crelly base packed with gold flakes. I used two layers here but probably could have done three to prevent VNL. My nails are getting long so I've got to start either using more layers or file them down. The formula of Nirvana was super smooth and easy to apply with no pooling or streaking. Some of the flakes did come off the free edge of my nail, but those are easily removable. I finished with a layer of my topcoat mix to add shine and hasten drying.

Nirvana is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt totally is!!
DeleteNirvana is so beautiful! Ever since learning about this brand, that's the one I've wanted. I love the gold flakies.
ReplyDeleteThis one is really special, but it's not too different from Hare Bisbee which might be a little easier to snag.
DeleteI just love your polish aesthetic, Thithi. Both of these are gorgeous. And I luuurrrrve what you did with the golden glitters over Electric Apple NYC, such a yummy fall look!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that F5 means refresh? ;->
Yes, make F5 your friend during restocks! I don't give up until at least 15 minutes after the restock start.
DeleteThanks about Electric Apple! I was a little iffy on it because I didn't think the gold really showed, but maybe it's better that it's subtle.
Fantastic use of Austin Powers ☼
ReplyDeleteThank you! I gotta break out Austin once in while, it's too pretty to waste!
DeleteSuper-Duper site! I am Loving it!! Will come back again, Im taking your feed also, Thanks. Best Electric Nail Files in 2018
