Here is yet another one of my "keep throwing polish on it" manicures.
Day 1: Applied 2 coats of Spa Ritual Howl. After the first coat I thought this was going to be a disaster because the brush was stiff and the streaks were insane, but after 2 it really came out nicely. What was disappointing is how little of that shimmer showed up on the nail. It is a nice deep brown, sure, but it wasn't what I was expecting.
Howl on its own. See all that shimmer in the bottle? No where to be found on the nail.
Day 2: Applied 1 coat of OPI Warm and Fozzie on top. This is such a fun polish with so many pretty shimmers. I was lucky enough to score this polish from the lovely Michelle from http://www.thingsiloveatthemoment.blogspot.com/ during her blog sale.
These show a good bit of the color shift on the nail with Warm and Fozzie on top of Howl.
Day 3: I really did love the manicure, but I was getting ready to take it off because I had a girls night to attend and I wanted to do a different mani, but earlier in the day I had thought how much the colors in Warm and Fozzie reminded me of China Glaze Electrify, so I sponged some on the tips to see how it would look.
Day 3b: This was a big bowl of meh so I added one coat of UP Viagem a 2 Flakie, which really changed the look of Warm and Fozzie, I need to try these two together next time.
What do you think? Which day is your favorite?
