Rain Of Flowers by MAC

My very first MAC polish. I was so excited I had to paint them right away. This polish is blue with purple undertones. It has tiny blue & purple glitter in it. It's called "Rain of Flowers" & was opaque in two coats but, I felt compelled to apply another coat even though it was not needed. The brush size is average but, I do wish it was nice n thick. I didn't think the polish was as glossy as it should have been. I tried correcting it by adding a top coat but, it didn't help enough. I do like the color. When it is dry on the nails it appears to be a blue but, when u remove it the cotton ball ends up purple.
I purchased this polish from MAC.

Valentine's Day Animal Print Recreation

I was inspired to recreate this nail design I originally found on Nails in Nippon. This is my first time using the Sponge method & I am still improving on Konad Stamping. She only used polish for the first coat, then she used Acrylic Paint which I do not have. She also did her tiger stripes freehand which, I also have never tried therefore I am not so sure I would be good at it yet.

I used 2 coats of Catrice White polish, next I sponged Essie's French Affair over the white, then proceeded to sponge a Red polish (I used NYC's 131A). After that I used Milani's 584 RED Glitter over the tip area. Once it was dry I used Konad Stamping to create the animal stripes & topped it off with Seche Vite top coat.

Flecked by Finger Paints

Here is another Finger Paints polish from the Special Effects Collection. It's called "Flecked".  It appears to be a green flake polish... & all this while I thought that's just what it was until one day I noticed while wearing it over Black that in the Sunshine it changes from green to blue. It was very fascinating to watch. I have not seen this polish do that in any other lighting So, it did catch me off guard. Sorry, I was unable to get those camera shots but, here's what I did take.
