WellNails ~ Did you just Mosby me?


WellNails ~ Did you just Mosby me?  
Clear base with red glitter, purple shreds and red and pale pink hearts

So here’s an indie polish from a Danish girl! But first – my underwear:

I used red and black as a base for this glitter. I used Essence “Black is Back” which is my favourite black crème, and Isadora “Orient Express”, which is an amazing deep shimmery red. They are both one coaters, which is a huge plus in my book!

Here’s that first step:


Now that we got the underwear cleared up, let get to the real deal: The glittah!

I applied one coat of “Did you just Mosby me?” over both the black and the red. It looks fantastic on the black, and it gives the red a surprisingly good look! And yes, I did have to go fishing for the hearts, but they were very easy to find, so it wasn’t a big deal. The glitter spread out nicely, I didn’t have to dab much!

There’s still no top coat involved, but here’s that step:


Now for the final touch: Stamping! I used a black no name stamping polish, and Cheeky’s stamping plate CH5, and stamped a heart on each ring finger and two on my thumbs. Then I topcoated the whole thing with my faithful Poshé top coat:


I am really happy with this:


One last pic because I’m pretty proud of this mani!


And there you have it. So : “Did you just Mosby me?” is inspired by the TV series How I met your Mother, episode "The Leap" from season six: Robin learns Barney might be in love with her, and she wonders about how to let him down easily. Marshall suggests that she do what Ted did on his first date with Robin. Something that turned her off immediately - he did 'the mosby' and told her he was in love with her.

The description of the episode is WellNails’ own text from the website, where you can buy this glitter for $10. And yes, they do ship internationally! ;)

    1. I don't have one Isadora that haven't lived up to my expectations, so I'm in love too. It took me a while to realize it, but I'm hooked :D
