Vapid - California Jelly Holos

     These were my very first Vapid polishes.  I only bought 3 but they won't be my last. I am in love ❤.
     They are all two coats, and they apply like a dream. I used seche vite fast dry top coat so I'm not sure of their drying time.
    The first one is the beautiful  1000 Steps.  It is a violet purplish color. 
     The second is Salt Creek, and I adore this color.  It's a stunning teal, turquoise.
     The third is Pismo. It is a pretty,  sherbet orange color.
     I, of course like to do nail art, so all of these manis have some sort of nail art design on them. Macros included so you can see the luscious holo goodness of each jelly polish. 
Enjoy!

Sparkly Pink Chevron Manicure

This is a limited edition polish, made only for a swap group that I'm a member of. It is so beautiful.  It is called Anniversary Diva and it is by Cupcake Polish.  It is a pink micro glitter with Gold holo. 
I also used Kleancolor Pastel Pink.  Whatsupnails chevron vinyls.  Just some random rhinestones for more added bling to this mani. 
I've never had bad luck with nail vinyls.  I put them on my nail and make sure they are affixed good around the cuticle and then paint over the top of them.  I make sure to peel them off as soon as I paint over it too. I generally do one at a time.  If that helps any. 
Enjoy!

Ephemera Prosecco Nails

     This manicure is a favorite of mine for a few different reasons. 
1. It uses one of my favorite color polishes: Sinful Colors, Prosecco.
I mean not many people don't love Prosecco. Am I right?
2. Prosecco as a base, left me with a great canvas for an ephamira theme.
What is ephamira? It is something that was not meant to last.  But has been given another use.  Typically it is typed it printed word, or cards etc. That have one use, but are repurposed into something beautiful.
3. I love layering stamping on my nails.
I'm not sure why I don't do it more often. 
     Back to the nitty gritty.  I started my nails with the Smoosh technique.  I used Sinful Colors Prosecco, & Karamel, from the King Kylie collection. This have my nails a slight color variation.   I then stamped my nails using the Moyra vintage stamping plate. I stamped the script first using Sinful Colors Gold Medal.  Then I stamped the birds using DRK stamping polish in Dark Purple.  I topped off with seche vite quick dry top coat and voila!
