I started doing a mani that apparently wasn’t meant to be today. Sometimes it’s just like that, grrr.

Anyway, I started out with two layers of El Corazón’s #40 from the Prisma collection. It was really separated, I’ve never experienced that extreme a separation before. It took 20 minutes of vigorousl shaking before it all came together again. It was so bad that it took 5 minutes of shaking before I could even hear the mixing balls again! O_o

Bur once mixed…great formula, good coverage, good drying time. Two coats is what it took to make it look like this:

 

It’s a bit pale for me, but I actually quite like it.

I aimed for a tape mani, but I couldn’t get it right. First attempt: The tape pulled the underlaying polish off. Next attempt: A layer of fast drying topcoat, waited for 15 minutes after the topcoat. And the tape pulled the polish off again!! Argh! Third attempt: The polish stayed on, but my lack of motor coordination made me dent two of the nails on my left hand before I even got started on the right hand. Dagnabbit!!!

Then I realized the truth of it: The tape mani wasn’t meant to be! So I made random dots on the fingers on the right hand with El Corazón #529 b from the Confetti Collection. It’s a gorgeous purple glitter which works perfectly on its own.

Here’s the final mani:

Look at the holo glitter goodness both on the nails and in the bottle!
