Hey lovelies,
Here are all the manis I wore while I was on holiday. I got through quite a few untrieds, and tried some of my brand new babies! I was also fortunate enough to paint the nails of several friends and family members, which made me (and them!) super happy. I really enjoy when I can share my hobby this way :)
PS. Sorry about the mixed quality of these - being on holiday means being away from my usual set up and routine!
I had some horrible breaks too, aaargh.
BYS - Black&Gold, 2 coats + Seche Vite
My brother's girlfriend Alex's nails. Man I love Black&Gold. And it matches her claddagh ring! I have a longtime obsession with claddagh rings. I need to buy a new one as mine has warped and scratched from being loved to death. But I'm hoping my next claddagh will go on my ring finger as a traditional Irish wedding ring. Hint hint Michael... I'll just leave this here:
Nfu Oh #01, 3 coats

Aunty Nana Claire's nails! We decided to do a glittery icey look, I love the way this turned out.
Zoya - Alegra

MIL Tessa's nails. Such a gorgeous sparkly shade.
Daring Digits - Master Shake, 3 & 1/2 coats
+
This is what I wore for Christmas! Master Shake was a gift from my Polish Elf, Lisa. I love it to bits, but I think I'll thin it before trying to use it again. The best way I can describe this is gluey. If you've ever tried the PVA base coat method, painting with this is much the same! Well worth the effort in my opinion though.
Essie - She's Picture Perfect
, 3 coats
, 3 coats

Lynnderella - Sweets to the Sweet, 2 dabbed coats

Gosh I adore She's Picture Perfect. I like this pairing but not as much as I thought I would. Must keep trying different combinations with Sweets to the Sweet. Right now I just want to wear She's Picture Perfect again though!
Wet N Wild Coloricon - Born Into Privilege, 2 coats over black
+
I scored this and a few other of these Wet N Wild glitters at a cosmetics outlet store at Dressmart Onehunga for $4 each. Score! Wet N Wild isn't usually sold here so I was thrilled :) I decided to wear one polish on each hand for this mani.
The golder green colour shift in Born Into Privilege at play. This was my favourite of the shifts.
Wet N Wild Coloricon - Jewels For Your Highness, 2 coats over black

Absolutely shocking photo of my right hand (it does exist!). Poor index finger had a crazy bad break :'(
Both hands!

Pahlish Total Eclipse of the Heart, 3 dabbed coats for the gradient

New Years nails! Not sure why one of the nails looks out of focus on the shade photo. Perhaps all the glitter overwhelmed my camera! I really loved wearing this combination.

My sister Amy's New Years nails. She liked the look but hated the removal process, oops!
Ludurana - Supremo, 3 coats
+
Holooooooo! So divine.
+
Pashlish - Toxic & Timeless, 2 coats

I felt like I had stolen scales from a mermaid's tale to put on my nails while wearing this! Very pretty, although I need to stop putting metallics under glitters, I feel like it detracts from the glitter. Bad Lani.
My final holiday mani! This is two coats of Lynnderella - Connect the Dots over alternating black & white nails (Santee Plus Black and Nfu Oh #01). I saw Manicure Addict do this look about a year ago and loved it, so I had to try it now that I have my bottle of CtD! I love it so much :)
Do you paint your nails while on holiday?
